These pictures are from rafah, where locals pulled victims from the rubble of a house that was hit in one of the overnight israeli strikes. These images are from khan younis in Southern Gaza. Youll remember israel told people in Northern Gaza to evacuate to the south more than a week ago ahead of a possible ground offensive. People in gaza said there was nonstop bombing and shelling by israel overnight. One of the bombardments was by a hospital. There Israeli Defence forces then released this video of air strikes over gaza and we cant be sure exactly where it was shot from. You can see a building being destroyed in those images. Officials say that they have been targeting hamas infrastructure, including the underground tunnels and operational headquarters of hamas. This is according to israels defence ministry. The Defence Minister in israel says the campaign to take up to three months but would eventually, israel intends, to wipe out hamas. In northern israel, there have been exchanges. As you released this video of its attacks on around the border area. Israels Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and us President Joe Biden say that they will ensure that there is a continuing flow of aid into gaza. The leaders spoke by phone after more than a dozen lorries carrying supplies entered the territory from egypt via the Rafah Crossing on sunday. The main un agency in gaza, unrwa say that hundreds of chucks of aid are needed every day. The Rafah Crossing is the only rate fade into gaza because the other entries border israel which means the crossing with egypt is the only entry point right now fade. Israel today has also updated the number of hostages held in gaza to 222 people. A sleepless night in gaza. From afar, the flashes of successive israeli air strikes in gaza city as israel steps up its bombing campaign. And amid more and more destruction, and a mounting death toll, the un is warning of a catastrophic humanitarian situation. Over the weekend, more than 30 lorry loads of aid were allowed into gaza from egypt, carrying food, water and medicines. Its just a fraction of what entered daily before israel put the hamas controlled territory under siege. Confirming the deliveries, the uns humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths called it a Glimmer Of Hope but said further supplies were desperately needed. With more than a million displaced people, some now living in this un tent city, there are urgent needs. People inside gaza need their most basic necessities, such as food, water, fuel and access to health services. So there is still a far, far way to go. Israel has signalled it will be sending its tanks and troops into gaza in the next stage of this war. After the deadliest attack in the countrys history, it says it aims to crush hamas. Translation it will take one month, two months, three months and at the end there will be no more hamas. Before hamas makes contact with our tanks and our infantry, they will know the shells from our airforce. And israel is also striking in lebanon, as along its northern border, the troops fight the powerful Lebanese Armed group, hezbollah, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. Then, there are other complications in israels Military Offensive in gaza. More than 200 hostages being held by hamas. Some of theirfamilies have been meeting the president with a simple message, bring them home. Yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. In the uk, the Prime Minister rishi sunak is expected to make a Statement Today to parliament about his recent visit to the middle east. We can cross over to our chief political correspondent.

We saw rishi sunaks visit to israel where he met Benjamin Netanyahu and stated very clearly in a joint press conference, he said we want you to win and that is the uk governments position and will remain so, that it supports israels right to self defence but also israel � s stated position to destroy hamas. There was also a burst of diplomacy designed to help try to contain the conflict. One of the things exercised by whitehall and westminster is the possibility this could spread into a broader conflict within the middle east. We saw rishi sunak go to egypt, to saudi arabia and he also met the president of the Penicillin Authority which was palestinian authority, an attempt to put the uks Diplomatic Efforts behind trying to contain this conflict and stressing the necessity of humanitarian aid being allowed into gaza even as israel prepares for that ground invasion.

Right and on the latter point, most vividly exemplified by the Parents In Law of humza yousaf, the Scottish First minister, who has spoken very openly about the conversations he has had with his Family Members who are in gaza. As you say, also there are a number of bricks, we dont know precisely how many, among the hostages and also among those who were murdered on october seven and the Prime Minister has met some of the families of hostages here in the uk. The other dimension to this that plays out domestically in the uk, though i wouldnt expect this to be the main focus of rishi sunaks statement to parliament later, which i think we more about the Foreign Affairs situation, domestically, we have seen a steep rise in anti semitism, a rise in xenophobia and big marches. Yesterday there was a video and Trafalgar Square just a few minutes walk from downing street, a vigil for israeli minutes walk from downing street, a Vigilfor Israeli Hostages but minutes walk from downing street, a vigil for israeli hostages but there is also, the day before, there was a very big protest, march in support of the Palestinian People in gaza. Theres also kind of playing out in the uk, interestingly in terms of the uk, interestingly in terms of the parliamentary politics of it, there is a very similar position between rishi sunak and sir keir starmer, the leader of the opposition. They are both broadly making the same points, support for israel but also concern about this spilling out into a wider regional conflict and stressing the need for humanitarian support for the people in gaza. find humanitarian support for the people in gaza. � ,. ,. ,.

As we have been hearing from henry, the uk Prime Minister will bring up in Parliament Today again efforts to ensure that aid trucks are able to continue entering into the gaza strip. In the past two days, there have been around 35 aid trucks entering but what were Hearing Aid Agencies is that they would only contain around 8 of the daily need of palestinians inside gaza. Gaza used to receive 400 500 chucks every day. One of the most urgent needs is for fuel because it is needed to run generators and hospitals and also to help Desalinated Water and the un warning that Fuel Supplies could run out in two days. Feel at the moment is not currently entering the gaza strip. Israel says it is worried it could be diverted by hamas and used in attacks against israel. Earlier, we had from the eu Foreign Affairs chief, he was speaking with eu Foreign Ministers and a meeting at luxembourg and he addressed the Aid Situation as well. In cairo, the Secretary General of the United Nations made a dramatic call in order to allow humanitarian help to enter. At first, 20 trucks were allowed to come. Yesterday there were 20 more. But in normal times, 100 trucks enter into gaza every day, so its clear that 20 is not enough. That was the eu Foreign Policy chief at an eu Foreign Affairs meeting in luxembourg, talking about the crisis in the middle east. Returning to the Aid Situation in Southern Gaza and across the gaza strip where people have been without supplies of food and water and medical supplies. Our correspondent rushdi abu alouf, and his family, have been displaced four times in gaza in the last two weeks. Heres his assessment of the situation on the ground, from an aid camp, in the city of khan younis, in the south of the territory. About 2,000 families living in these tents. They are people displaced from the Northern Gaza. This is, a camp has been built by the unrwa. I was speaking to the families here. They said they are struggling to find water. They are struggling to find food. To find a bathroom. They said the bathroom here is a real challenge. They said security, also, is a real challenge because, as you know, hamas has been under really heavy attack by israel for the last two weeks or so, so there is no police around the area to maintain law and order, a few problems here, social problems in the area. But those people, they said, we have been given very little food, very little water, very Little Medicine to the people who are in need for this. This is an example of how 700,000 people, who are displaced from the north, are living in a very difficult condition in gaza city. He is currently in Southern Gaza where israel has told palestinians to go. Joining me now to talk about humanitarian crisis developing. Joining me now Isjuliette Touma from the United Nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees. Those aid trucks, there are masses of them on the egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing waiting for the word to bring the much needed supplies in.

Bbc arabic� s adnan el bursh has been at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al Balah in central gaza, which has been overwhelmed with casualties including women and children. Some of the images which have emerged from the hospital are too graphic to share. Children, including at least two babies, are among the dead. Heres adnan� s report. You may find some of these images distressing. The wounded civilians arriving at the luxor Military Hospital in central gaza. Many of the wounded are women and the children. This is outside israels evacuation zone. Israel told civilians to come to these parts of the strip for safety. There is no confirmation of where the air strikes came from. But outside the hospital, Funeral Prayers for those killed are being held. While families continue to arrive with more of the wounded. Translation all of this hamas. Hospital workers say they are overwhelmed. Weve been here since the Crack Of Dawn and the bodies have completely filled the hospital yard. This is in addition to the bodies which are in refrigerators which are full. We dont have enough shrouds for the bodies because the numbers are huge. Its difficult to identify the bodies. The situation is being described by those working here as catastrophic. As those images from gaza are broadcast on media and social media, passions are being inflamed across the region and there is concerns about that conflict spreading. International Diplomatic Efforts are under way but have a look more at the Current Situation is louise cattle, Assistant Professor in politics and International Relations at the university of nottingham. We have been reporting within those unprecedented attacks on israel and israel saying it wants to go into gaza to destroy hamas. There are warnings from the north of israel into southern lebanon, saying they could attack israel and exchanges of Military Fire that just as an example as concern about the spread. I lost part of your question but i think you are asking about the reaction and the risk of spread across the region. Reaction and the risk of spread across the region. Thats right and i was emphasising across the region. Thats right and i was emphasising also across the region. Thats right and i was emphasising also the across the region. Thats right and i i was emphasising also the exchange of fire that we have been seeing between israels military and over the border in southern lebanon. Absolutely. We have seen they have got involved in this conflict right from the start, attacking israelis radars and equipment for israel. This is part of their reactions during sport for hamas but also trying to draw some of the attention of the idf to the north. So at the moment, we have got this established elite forces coming across the line and then tying up three is a division to the north so they cant focus on gaza, so its trying to spread the israeli capability a little bit thinner and that seems to be the focus at the moment, whether it will then start to push further into israeli territory, is the real question. They currently engaged in is ready control territory which is unusual but whether they take advantage of the opportunity while israel is focused on gaza to take more territory is what remains to be seen. �. , ~ more territory is what remains to be seen. �. , ~. , seen.

These frets are getting progressively worse and what we are starting to see is a little bit more from not iran directly, it is unlikely we see any direct involvement but certainly using iran backed groups to show support for hamas. It risks it will lead to other areas where there is iranian influence, including iraq and syria. At the end of last week, we started to see some attacks coming directly from yemen, long range missiles. We from yemen, longrange missiles. We will from yemen, long range missiles.

We will see further rain and currently there are still a lot of Flood Warnings in force, particularly across central parts of england. You can find out more about those and where they are on our website and, of course, on the now we are under this ridge of High Pressure so things are fairly settled today. But we do have a Weather Front coming in from the west and thats been producing some rain as weve gone through the course of today and will continue to push slowly into Northern Ireland and deeper into south west england. Now we are under this ridge of High Pressure so things are fairly settled today. It will be breezy here, but for most of the uk its going to be dry, there will be some sunshine which will be hazy at times with highs of up to 16 or 17 degrees. If we pick up this rain tonight it moves northwards in three parts of the midlands, east anglia, lincolnshire, yorkshire and northern england. All this going on, its not going to be as cold night in the north was last night. Tomorrow could see the low pressure area associated with the rain coming into the east and we also have our week when the front across southern areas which will eventually fizzle and its going to be a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. The rain pulling towards the east and the south east through the day but for scotland, the far north of england and Northern Ireland, largely dries with one or two showers and temperatures 11 to 17 degrees. As we had on through the rest of the week, low pressure pulls away. We have an east or south easterly wind blowing in some showers and then an active set of fans coming in from the atlantic. Quite a bit of cloud around and noticeable breeze and then some heavy and persistent rain comes in from the west. I could well be some rumbles of thunder in that and it is going to be spreading again across areas where we dont want or need this rain. You can see from the table here, as we go for the rest of the week, it will feel autumnal. Tempt as above or around average. At times, we will see further the rain.
