Killed, is now more than 5,700 including more than 2000 children. And in the past couple of hours, the un Agency Looking after palestinian refugees, has warned they might have to halt all operations, unless they receive supplies of fuel. Heres our middle east correspondent, Yolande Knell and i should warn you you may find some of this report upsetting. The moment of release after two weeks being held hostage. In a video sent out by hamas, nurit cooper and Yocheved Lifschitz were handed over to representatives of the International Red cross. But then yocheved, whos 85, turns shaking the hand of a masked gunman and saying peace. Soon, the women were whisked out of gaza through egypts Rafah Crossing and flown off to israel. As they arrived at a hospital, yocheveds daughter sharon, a british citizen, was on her way from london. She spoke to the bbc. Im not angry at all. Anger doesnt help at the moment. Ifeel very determined to move on and. Anger will come. Hate no. I think it is the problem, hate. We cant afford to hate. We cant afford to turn it into hate. What needs to be done needs to be done. What we can do, we will do. But here it is an emotion that caused this to happen in the first place. After an emotional reunion with herfamily, Yocheved Lifschitz was brought out to speak tojournalists, talking about her capture and how she was held in gaza. My mum is telling the horrific stories. Shes saying that many, many people, a swarm of people, came through the fence, that the Fence Cost Two and a half billion shekels and it didnt help even a little bit. My mum is saying that she was taken on the back of a motorbike with her body. With her legs on one side and her head on another side. That she was taken through the ploughed fields with the men in front, on one side, and a men behind her. And that while she was being taken, she was hit by sticks by shabab . Shabab. Yeah, shabab people. My mum is saying that they were very friendly towards them and that they took care of them, that they were given the medicine. Today, the french president , emManuel Macron, arrived, Meeting French israelis whose loved ones were killed by hamas or are still missing. This was a trip of wartime solidarity, but the message was also about the need for peace with the palestinians long term. Let me express once again my solidarity, my friendship. And the fact that france stands with you in this awful Terrorist Act you had to experience. In gaza, where israels military says its keeping up relentless attacks to crush hamas, the situation grows more and more desperate, with severe shortages of food and water, a lack of shelter for more than a million homeless people, theres still not enough aid getting in. To try and make sure that were reaching as many people as possible. We had to reduce the ration of food that we were providing per person to make sure that its stretching out to to as many people. Children are paying a heavy price in the fighting. Atjust over a year old, this girl and her twin brother survived an overnight israeli air strike in southern gaza, but their aunt says their mother did not. Translation my sister was protecting the boy, ahmed, so he wasnt injured. But the daughter, as you can see, is injured. What did they do to deserve this . Ahmed is home and im sure he misses his sister. As we say, twins are always connected. He is always crying at home. And she is in the hospital. With the death toll here rising dramatically and more than 200 hostages from israel still held captive. The suffering in gaza has never been greater.

Of Yocheved Lifschitz, a very feisty woman in her 80s hasjust been through an appalling experience but talked about it so calmly and rationally. Expressing the horror but also the Little Details about how medication and food was dealt with. About how it was like in those tunnels under the gaza strip and crucially with some very interesting words about the lack of preparation for Something Like this. Towards the end of her remarks, she said my last message is the lack of information from the Israeli Military hurt us a lot, we were the scapegoat of the government. She talked about how a previous infiltration and the setting alight of fields in the area using these buildings that hamas have sent over the border into areas inside israel, how all of this had been ignored and i think this is really important because i think israelis and the Israeli Security establishment had got so used to hamas Occasional Infiltration being clumsy, not very effective operations across the border that they did not think they presented a threat and of course, on october seven, we all realised they absolutely did. Let seven, we all realised they absolutely did. Seven, we all realised they absolutely did. Seven, we all realised they absolutel did. ,. , absolutely did.

Let me ask you about the visit of a Manuel Macron and put| the visit of a Manuel Macron and put onto the screen pictures from the visitor he is going onto the next leg of but he has been talking earlier in the day to Benjamin Netanyahu so what is your analysis of what he said . One of which was that france is ready for the coalition of fighting against the Islamic State group to also be fighting against hamas. Glad you icked u fighting against hamas. Glad you picked up on fighting against hamas. Glad you picked up on that. Fighting against hamas. Glad you picked up on that. Im fighting against hamas. Glad you picked up on that. Im glad fighting against hamas. Glad you picked up on that. Im glad you l fighting against hamas. Glad you i picked up on that. Im glad you did but i wish i could tell you what he meant, i cannot. But i wish i could tell you what he meant, icannot. Does but i wish i could tell you what he meant, i cannot. Does he mean a Military Alliance that do deal with hamas in the way it dealt with isis involving air strikes by a number of Foreign Countries . 0r involving air strikes by a number of Foreign Countries . Or does he mean this should be international. The effort to address this problem. A tantalising little reference and at the moment we do not know at the moment what he meant by it. Also moment what he meant by it. 400 taruets hit moment what he meant by it. 400 targets hit in moment what he meant by it. 400 targets hit in the moment what he meant by it. 400 targets hit in the last day, the Military Strategy still appearing very much from the air, doesnt it . It certainly does. The israelis appear to believe still they have plenty of targets they can hit from the air, weve heard officials in the air, weve heard officials in the last few day saying we will make sure when the time comes to going on the ground and soldiers can go in there as safely as possible and effectively as possible. More warnings for people to leave and go south as well as a Drop Leaflets offering rewards to the Population Offering rewards to the population of the gaza strip for any information on hostages and i think Thatis Information On Hostages and i think that is interesting because that is clearly one of the factors holding this whole thing up. If not for the hostages, we would already see the Israeli Military inside the gaza strip attempting to carry out this huge task of eradicating hamas once and for all, a task some say is just not doable and others say israel should get on and deal with hamas have been able to Drip Feed Hostages and dangle the prospect of further releases in front of the world and the israeli government, you do feel that all of this is staying israels hand and they are not quite sure how to play this rather cynical, awful game.

That is the un Secretary General, l that is the un Secretary General, his assessment talking about the war raging. He said the situation is growing more dire by the hour and said he unequivocally condemned the attacks by hamas, the kidnapping, taking hostages and demanded the Immediate Release of all those hostages but then he went on to say the effects of hamas did not happen in a vacuum, talking about 56 years of suffocating occupation, people displaced, homes demolished then talking about, his words, collective punishment of the Palestinian People, even war has rules he said and he said he is deeply concerned about the clear violations of International Humanitarian law that we are witnessing in gaza and went on to talk about the continued bombardment and respecting hospitals, 600,000 palestinians he said seeking shelter in those un facilities.

That is particularly relevant to my colleagues. The fact that unrwa, the largest humanitarian effort in gaza, has already lost staff members, doctors, engineers, nurses, you name it. It is devastating. It is shocking. It is appalling.

We do not get more fuel into gaza, we, as unrwa, the largest aid agency in gaza, will not be able to carry out any humanitarian operations and thatis out any humanitarian operations and that is because we need the fuels for our trucks that whole conversation about convoys coming in from Yocheved Lifschitz from rafah, who need trucks to pick up that aid, fuel for our Mobilisation Plan so people can have access to clean water like our motorisation plan. We need waterfrom life saving machines without which people can die so fuel is a top urgency. My colleagues have confirmed that we have enough fuel for 2 3 days and after that he will not be able to work. We need fuel for electricity, neither the plans or missions in hospitals.

Dont go away, we are back with a few back with more injust a we are back with a few back with more in just a few minutes. Hello there. Well, the week ahead looks fairly unsettled, with low Pressure Systems bringing outbreaks of unwelcome rain, Weather Fronts, and that wet weather persistent at times. Turning windy by the end of the week, as well. Earlier today, weve had outbreaks of rain working their way northwards through parts of the midlands, in towards the north of england. We do have a met Office Yellow warning for heavy rain through parts of the east midlands, in towards yorkshire and the humber. Whilst in itself that wet weather not particularly heavy, its falling on already saturated ground, so the potential for some further issues with flooding as a result. South of that band, drier with some sunshine through wales, in towards the South Midlands and the south east. Wet weather pushing in towards the south west later on. Sunshine and showers for Northern Ireland and parts of scotland. Brightest in the west through the highlands and islands. As we head into this evening, the wet weather across parts of the midlands clears and then Heavy Rain Pushing in towards parts of the south of wales, in towards devon and cornwall and tracking east through dorset, hampshire, the isle of wight, in towards sussex and kent. A further met Office Yellow warning in force because of that. Elsewhere, dry with clearest conditions in the west. Chilly in glasgow at three degrees. Perhaps a bit of mist and fog around as well under clear skies. Looking ahead to midweek, this is wednesday, you can see that area of low pressure pulling away, taking the overnight rain with it. Then, for many, its a quieter day on wednesday. Its a dry day for many, certainly through parts of wales, the midlands, in towards western scotland, Northern Ireland, as well. Drying up in the south. Cloudier skies across scotland compared with elsewhere, with some light and patchy outbreaks of rain in the east. Temperature wise, around about ten to 14 Celsius North to south. Then looking ahead towards thursday, that broad area of low pressure i showed you right at the start is still with us. Further Weather Fronts bringing yet more unwelcome rain. That wet weather persistent in nature at times, particularly in areas where we dont want it, so late on thursday into friday becoming concentrated across parts of the east of scotland. Elsewhere, showery outbreaks of rain almost anywhere, really. Temperatures around about nine to 15 Celsius North to south. Certainly, a very unsettled picture through the course of the week. Temperature wise, swell around about ten to 15 Celsius North to south, but certainly rain at times. Thats the forecast for now. This is bbc news. The headlines an israeli woman, abducted by hamas and now set free, describes the hell she experienced, saying she was taken into a spiders web of tunnels beneath gaza. Whilst she was being taken she was hit by sticks by shabab . Shabab. Yeah, shabab people. The un says its Gaza Operation will end tomorrow if Fuel Supplies dont arrive. If we do not get more fuel into
