Which is designated a Terrorist Organisation by many western countries, including the uk and us. The raids were also aimed at gaining information on the whereabouts of the more than two hundred hostages being held in gaza. We are hearing talks in doha to release more hostages are reaching a serious stage. But israel has dismissed any talk of a ceasefire in return for their freedom. A third convoy of more than a dozen aid trucks is at the Rafah Crossing from egypt, waiting for permission to head into gaza. The head of the Main Un Agency Helping Palestinians in gaza says hundreds of truckloads of aid are needed every day, rather the few dozen which have been allowed in so far. The agency has called forfuel to be allowed in, with only a minimal supply left for hospitals, Water Desalination Plants and bakeries. Israel says its not permitting Fuel Deliveries because they could be commandeered by hamas. The Hamas Run Health Ministry in gaza says the israeli bombardment of gaza has killed more than Five Thousand people there, including two thousand children. Attacks by hamas on israel this month killed more One Thousand Four Hundred people. Wyre davis reports. Its a part of gaza where people should have felt relatively safe. The southern part of the strip is where israel had ordered more than a million palestinians to flee, away from their targets in the north. But last night was the worst so far in the town of khan younis. Israel reserving its right to pursue hamas targets anywhere, with devastating consequences for civilians. Nowhere is safe really in gaza and we also noticed people who were in the south, evacuated and walked to the south and they are going back to the north because they had nowhere else to go because the shelters are overwhelmed. Dima lost 13 members of her immediate family. Her surviving siblings traumatised. Translation when we moved to khan younis with my family, | there were 17 of us. Then we became four. I cant understand howjust the four of us will live and how we will return to our home in gaza city after 17 of us used to live together. Also stuck in the south, stephanie and her young family from blackpool. They moved to gaza a year ago, now caught up in a war they didnt bargain for. We have experienced bombing and planes flying over us and buildings destroyed, all sorts of horrible things. Its not been a good experience. The un has helped organised two consecutive days of around 20 trucks crossing gazas border with egypt. Hopefully another today carrying basic medicines and food aid. But a lot less than the 500 daily trucks the un says are needed. After more than a fortnight of bombing that has reduced parts of gaza to rubble, israels army is ready for the next stage, the anticipated land invasion of gaza to completely eliminate hamas as a future threat to israel. Translation we are using all the Time Available to us to improve our readiness and our ability to carry out the Ground Manoeuvre in the best possible way. Israels allies support its right to self defence but Global Leaders coming here emphasised the need for restraint, concerned about the wider regional conflict. And while Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu will not want to seem indecisive over his vow to crush hamas, he does have other considerations. With more than 200 israeli and International Hostages being held by hamas in gaza, some of their relatives want the Israeli Government to make a deal. Americas president biden, whose Opinion Matters in israel, has also called the release of hostages his highest priority. Trapped on a tiny sliver of land between the border and the sea, the fate of the hostages and gazas 2. 1 million residents hangs in the balance, dependent on what israel and also what hamas does next. Wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, is injerusalem and gave us this update on the negotiations to release more of the hostages taken by hamas. We saw the release just a few days ago of the first two hostages, two women, Israeli American nationals. Now, we are hearing from our colleagues in gaza that negotiations and im just going to read this to make sure i dont make any mistakes negotiations to release more hostages have entered a serious stage, according to sources in gaza, and they are intense and focused through the qatari mediators. It was qatar who helped to mediate the release of the two women the other day and with the United States in order to build on the release of the two americans. And its thought that this the negotiations at the moment could involve 15 foreign dual nationals being held inside the gaza strip. We dont know what stage those negotiations are at, but the fact that this information is leaking out does suggest that there is some pretty intense work going on behind the scenes to try and get as many of those hostages out, particularly foreign nationals, particularly perhaps women and children, before israel decides to act decisively and send its troops in on the ground. 0ur gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf, spoke to my colleague lyse doucet about the talks aimed at the release of hostages. At this stage, quoting a Senior Palestinian official who is in doha, who is in contact with hamas, he said the talks, negotiations are taking a serious path. He said that there has been a lot of talks. The qataris were in contact with hamas and The Americans, building in the two american hostages who were released a couple of days ago, to release more. As many as 50, as i understand. Hamas is happy to release them. They told the qataris, they told The Americans that we are happy to release all of the civilians, they said, the people who are the foreigners and multi nationals. Now, in order to do this, the process would need people working on the ground. And hamas was not quite happy with the last releasing process because it was risky, it was under fire and it was not guaranteed that it could happen. Now, what we need, what hamas need, hamas need a halt, a ceasefire in some shape, some form, whether its humanitarian or sustainable, or linked in. They want to be able to go and try to offer some sort of path or road to move those 50 people. And, you know, like releasing two hostages in one car isnt the same as releasing 50 people. This is a large group of people, and it has to be involved, many people working and securing and transporting. And this needs a ceasefire, which hamas told the source that told me that israel, until now, is rejecting the idea of any sort of ceasefire. I have to say that for the last half an hour or so, i cant hear any drones in the sky. And we are not aware of any fresh air strikes for the last half an hour. Exactly when they released the two american hostages last time, there was about four hours of pause, unannounced, unofficial. But yes, there was a halt for the fighting for about four hours during the releasing of this. The source said its a work of about a week. And they said from the very beginning, said that all of the nationals, all of the foreigners are guests of hamas and they have not considered them as hostages. But they said we need a real calm so our people can do theirjob and facilitate their release. Udi goren� s cousin, tal, was among those kidnapped by hamas. I spoke to udi a little earlier. The last we know of tal, his phone was traced to the gaza strip. It was traced to khan younis, the town that was heavily bombed last night. This is part of the message we are trying to get out, directly related to what was just said, we have to stop the bombing. Because we dont know where the hostages are. As long as there are bombings, is notjust the risk of when hamas might or might not release them. It is an actual threat to our own people. Every single day. Now, that we have heard reports that negotiations are at a serious stage, we havent had much more in the way of details yet. With that development, how much more hopeful do you feel . Tal is a romanian national. So he might be included in this deal. I dont want to get my hopes up, because they may shatter to the ground, and it has been difficult enough as is. My hope is to get everyone out, notjust my cousin. But of course he is my top priority. But there is no civilian that should be sacrificed at this point, or at any point. There are no civilians that should pay this price on either side, neither israelis nor gaza ns. This is a ray of light, seeing those two women going back to their family two days ago, it is unbelievable. You know, and now 50 more can be saved. And we have at least 150 more to save. And this hope that it has given israelis and the israeli public, that is what we need now. That is what we are going to need long term. This is what the gazans need as well. But this is by far the darkest hour that israel has ever had. And to get us out of here, more violence would not get us there. What we need is hope. And what we need is a resolution to stop the violence. I mean the numbers that you have mentioned of the casualties so far are just unimaginable. And they will keep rising as long as the war continues, it will keep rising. Ive heard Prime Minister sunak� s declaration, and keir starmer that followed, and i doubted there is any israeli that doesnt appreciate the attention and a firm stance that the uk takes, and the stress that they put on their own responsibility to human lives. And i would like to ask them personally for every family of the hostages, please make sure that this principle is kept, because israel does have other interests in mind, with the grand manoeuvre and taking care of hamas. But its impossible to conceive that a modern democracy would sacrifice a civilian life for any reason, when there is an opportunity to save them. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. A man has been arrested in connection with a huge fire that caused the partial collapse of a Multi Storey Car Park at Luton Airport this month.

United states and also other western powers to actually hold, for now, any moves towards the Ground Offensive and this is controversial because the commanders of said their troops are ready to go and theres actually a limited amount of time that you can continue to mobilise 360,000 troops on the borders of gaza. These are mostly reservists without damaging the israeli economy and pressures from commanders to actually get munition going as soon as they can but equally, israel has to take account of its strongest allies, the United States and we know over the weekend that certainly, in the New York Times and the commentary there is of the Biden Administration has put tremendous pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and for now, to do more to try to get more hostages released. It is worth knowing that theres been a big debate within the Israeli Cabinet as well and its been very keen to start the operation and also strike at hamas.

It is one of the reasons why they are placing two carrier groups in the Eastern Mediterranean and as a warning to both hezbollah and iran who is its main backer to try to stay out of the conflict. Its a form of deterrence in that regard. Looking at whats happening in gaza, the Israeli Military says its action is targeting hamas and seeking to eradicate it. How likely is it better Ground Offensive with other Military Action could result in complete eradication of hamas . There is no doubt that complete eradication of hamas . There is no doubt that given complete eradication of hamas . There is no doubt that given that complete eradication of hamas . Ti is no doubt that given that israel is no doubt that given that israel is one of the most capable militaries in the middle east, if not the world, it would undoubtedly defeat hamas. It would take time and it will take around 500 km of tunnels under the gaza strip and militarily, it can do that but it is the political consequences of this. Israel has an opportunity in terms of both sympathy for what its doing in the aftermath of the massacres that took place two weeks ago but the fighting in the round gaza city would create or exacerbate an already fast humanitarian crisis and it would be pressure, International Pressure upon israel to try to curb its use of force and indeed undoubtedly, the civilian casualties that would ensue. The final point i want to make here is what comes next is the big issue. Again, israel makes it very clear that once it has eradicated hamas, it would also want to do so politically, the big issue here is can you actually do that and there are many countries who have fought insurgencies but it is very difficult to defeat an ideology as it is to defeat a Military Capability.

The un says more than 600,000 people have left their homes in the gaza strip over the past fortnight. The bbc has been highlighting some of their stories with a � gaza diaries series a glimpse into the real lives of two people who are now struggling to find a safe space in the Southern City of khan younis. This is from 20 year old rahaf shamaly. From gaza, i am 20 years old and to be honest, took me some time to remember what i was doing before. So many people lost their entire families, so many people lost their homes and are now on the streets or sleeping in schools. It is now five oclock. And in and half an hour, will be leaving this hospital. Nothing is visible. You cannot even see the buildings. I wish this would be over so i could go back to my normal life and yesterday, i spoke to my friends and ask them, how are you feeling and what are you expecting when it came to my turn, i told them i have forgotten myself and if i had one wish, i would wish for this wording and go back to my life, even with of its problems, with everything. I came back this morning to this place which i evacuated two days before. It was dumb by a friend of mine. It is not safe because of this little far from the city centre and its the only place where i get some quiet. It was a long night and expended at the coffee shop because they had to be at the bakery at the right time so i can get some bread. I am thinking of my house and one of my neighbours told me that a large part of my house was bombed. I have so many memories in that house. Remember, you can keep up with all the developments of the cause of war by going to the bbc news website and the bbc news app. To stay with us here on bbc news. Good afternoon. Most of us started off our working week on a cooler but quieter note welcome news. But there was some rain around and some of it fairly persistent out towards the southwest. With this Weather Front, we could also see more rain moving into the southeast of england later on in the day. But that front out to the west, well, it broughtjust shy of two inches of rain injust six hours. The isles of scilly, it was a miserable start to monday morning here. Elsewhere, a few scattered showers moving their way up through wales. But its a relatively quiet day for many and in fact weve got sunshine across Northern England and for the bulk of scotland. As we go through the day, clouding over a little across england and wales, particularly down to the southeast where theres a risk of some rain arriving here to close out play. Temperatures generally around 11 to 16 degrees, a smidge above where they should be really still for this time of year. As we go through the evening and overnight, well see some rain, some of it heavy, pushing its way in areas where we dont need it across east anglia, lincolnshire, parts of the East Midlands and into yorkshire as well. And at the same time thats going to bejoined by another Weather Front moving in from the southwest. With the cloud and rain around, those temperatures will hold up into double digits, but theres more wet weather to come as we go through to tuesday. So if we look at that in a little more detail, its this Weather Front thats just pushing in off the north sea and it might bring outbreaks of rain fairly showery, but nevertheless, we do not need any more rain in these areas. And thats going to be persistently there throughout the day. To the north of that, we keep some sunshine and a drier story in scotland. To the south, therell be a few scattered showers. And again, those temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees. Wednesday will start off on a relatively quiet note with a ridge of high pressure. Its not going to last as the next Frontal System is likely to nudge in from the west as we go through the day. So itll be a quiet start, a few showers pushing in off the north sea. Some sunshine for some of us across england and wales before outbreaks of rain arrive by the end of the day on wednesday. A little bit cooler, 10 to ia degrees on the whole. But that Weather Front will bring some wet and windy weather potentially thundery to begin with as it moves its way steadily north and east. Dont expect any change to the weather story as we move to the weekend and into next week. It stays pretty autumnal. This is bbc news, the headlines. The bombardment of the gaza strip intensifies, while the british pm underlines his countrys support for israel and promises further aid for gazans. The hamas run industry like that.
