Un aid workers warn they will have to end their operations tonight, if they dont get more fuel. And the situation on israels northern border with lebanon remains tense. Hello, im lyse doucet. Welcome bbc news, live from jerusalem as we report on the top headlines israel gaza crisis. This is a 19 pin group. Today, the emphasis from United Nations agencies and from countries around the world for a humanitarian pause in the Fighting Israel Hamas seven desperately needed aid can be let into gaza. Israel has allowed food, water and medicine into the territory, but isnt allowing fuel supplies , over fears theyll end up in the hands of hamas. Hamas is designated as a Terror Organisation by many western countries including the united kingdom. The United Nations is repeating it was michaels not only humanitarian pause also for desperately needed fuel tanker. All the while, the images coming from the while, the images coming from the gaza strip where israel says it to target hamas infrastructure and kill leading hamas leaders continues. The us secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has proposed a temporary lull in hostilities. That would allow the aid to enter. Those calls have not been heeded by israel. There were calls to from across the arab world to ease the suffering of those in gaza as the pressure on their own streets intensifies. Our International Editor Atjeremy Bowen has been looking at the regional consequences of this crisis. Our International Editor jeremy bowen sent this report and a warning, it contains some distressing images. After the doctors had examined yocheved lifschitz, she came out of the hospital in tel aviv saying she went through hell in gaza, from the moment hamas took her as a hostage. Translation l was laying on a motorcycle, my body on one side and my legs on the other, and the hamas men beat me on the way. They didnt break my ribs, but hurt me very much. Like so many israelis, shes astounded by the failure of her countrys army and intelligence to protect them. Translation the army wasnt prepared. We were the government scapegoats. Hamas warned us three weeks ahead. They burned our fields and the army somehow didnt take it seriously. And hamas� s Detailed Planning extended to Hostage Taking too. Translation they seemed ready for this. They had prepared for a long time and had everything the hostages needed, even shampoo and conditioner. Running this war is getting complicated for the israeli government. The northern border with lebanon is heating up. Thousands of troops have been sent there and border towns evacuated in case of war with irans lebanese ally, hezbollah. Prime minister netanyahu has visited the troops near gaza, but he hasnt ordered them to invade yet. Translation so without a ground war in gaza to define the state of this crisis, other things are, starting with the hostages. In tel aviv, ehud barak, former Prime Minister and army commander, saw painful choices ahead. Is it possible for israel to invade the gaza strip with Ground Troops if there are still hostages in the hands of hamas . If there is no other way, well have to do it, because the alternative is to provide those barbarian Crimes Against Humanity Get Impunity due to the fact that they massacred, slaughtered probably 1,500 people. And a very painful and tough decision might have to be made. On the west bank, the other side of the palestinian territories, israel has settled Hundreds Of Thousands Ofjews in defiance of International Law. The hardest Core Ofjewish settlers whove seized remote hilltops are seen by many israelis as isolated extremists. But now their effective leaders are in the israeli cabinet. On this hilltop near hebron, the settlers who believe theyre may say it is unfortunate that they. It was unfortunate so much jewish blood had to be spelt for other israelis to understand what had to be done to those who killjews. Translation in a war, you have a gun and a trigger. And for those who dont understand yet, we are at war, a war where the other side shows no mercy. And we need to be the same. Theres no choice. Back for palestinians on the west bank, these are violent days. Mohammad, aged 20, was one of two young men killed in an israeli army Arrest Operation at Jalazone Refugee Camp near ramallah. 95 west Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli Security his father led the mourners. In the mosque, fear of revenge. This is genocide and the world does not coming to the rescue of the palestinians. The general mood is actually entertaining thought that netanyahu is going after the deportation, the displacement of palestinians, leading up to the annexation of gaza. In the west bank, palestinians wonder whether they will be next. People are talking about anger at what the israelis have done and a sense of uncertainty and fear about what might be happening next. This is a long and intractable conflict, but it had some certainties. It had a certain shape, a status quo. Thats all changed. On the way to the cemetery, the flags were from the main palestinian factions fatah, hamas and islamichhad. We couldnt see any armed palestinians at the funeral, perhaps because israel has such tight control over the west bank for now. But the danger that a serious incident could ignite the west bank is real. When the funeral was over, mohameds cousin said the israelis raided the camp because of gaza. They wanted revenge, he said, because resistance groups, had hurt them. God have mercy, he said, to all the martyrs in gaza and west bank. Palestinians dont share much with israelis, especially not much now, except a dread of harder times ahead. Jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. Growing fears that this is a crisis, a deepening crisis that can so easily spread. Humanitarian crisis is on the minds of so many. Hospitals in gaza are having to scale back the services they provide because of fuel running out. Some have already shut down.

Hospitals are rationing the little field they still have to do the basic interventions. And talking of fuel, it is impossible to have hospitals run without electricity. As a health worker, you need to see the patient you are treating. Operation theatres need to run. Incubators need to do it. People who need dialysis need to get we needed that fuel. It is essential to get clean water, without which hospitals come from.

So, what we are also proving to everyone who can make decisions, were influencing those to do so. The situation in gaza is increasingly desperate and could turn the if we urgently do not write so badly needed aid. Urgently do not write so badly needed aid.

Tarikjasarevic, spokesperson for the world to do. Tarikjasarevic, spokesperson for the world health to do. Tarikjasarevic, spokesperson for the World Health Organization i to do. Tarikjasarevic, spokesperson for the World Health Organization in j for the World Health Organization in cairo, thank you forjoining us. It is clearfrom the cairo, thank you forjoining us. It is clear from the people we have but there is growing anguish across humanitarian community as that vital fuel is about to run out. As one the United Nations because a humanitarian catastrophe deepens, diplomatic activity is ongoing. In the past 2a hours, royal has been in the past 2a hours, royal has been in the cross hairs of many countries. Last night, the ambassador to the United Nations told the Security Council that Antony Blinken had wrongly attempted to blame iran for this israel gaza war. Meantime the israeli army has accused iran of ordering recent attacks by armed groups that it backs in lebanon, iraq and yemen. A spokesman for the Israeli Defence force said israel and the us were watching events across the region. Earlier i asked iran expert Sara Bazoobandi for her thoughts on irans next move. Its more than ever before obvious that the threats on iran is from different directions, is becoming very serious, with the us presence in the region, with a very open and hostile narrative in israel more than ever before. There is this serious Security Threat on iran. Iran has been a long term supporter of hamas for decades. Iran has been providing the group with military equipment, financial supports, training, so on and so forth. Of course, these are all based on unconfirmed and second hand information, but there has been this ongoing conversation about irans support for this group. Now, whether iran wants to move from this point into a serious escalation and serious direct confrontation with the us and israel or not, is difficult to imagine that it would serve irans interest by any stretch of imagination because that hostility, that confrontation is going to weaken the regime that is already dealing with a lot of domestic dissents and across the region. Of course, if irans proxies are defeated, its going to be to the detriment of the iranian regime. Of course, they will then obviously want to carry out their support for the proxies across the region. So i think the best scenario for iran at the moment, considering their constant denial of having involvement in this episode, is that they would like to carry on the fighting through proxies, not direct confrontation. So iran itself would not want to be drawn in, but its undeniable that it has great influence over proxies like hezbollah in lebanon, like the houthis who have also been Firing Missiles that have had intercepted by The Americans and the israelis. So iran is involved in some way and in a growing way in this crisis. Yes, absolutely. Iran is one of the major elements of Iranian Security strategy. Since the end of the war with iraq has been to keep crisis away from their borders. The narrative that they, for example, use during the wars in syria, that they used during the wars in syria, was that especially domestically, was that if we dont fight isis in syria, then we will have to fight isis inside iran. So the fighting through proxies has been a major element of iranians involvement in the region and their security doctrine. And that is for that reason i believe that they will continue fighting through the proxies, but getting involved directly, having any form of confrontations, directly attack, you know, pointed towards the iranians. So i dont think that is something that they are wishing for and that is something that they really want to happen. And at the moment, i think The Americans and the israelis have been very careful and cautious in wording, their analysis and updates about the situation, to say that whether iran has been directly involved in this crisis or not. That was from earlier today. Sony countries are involved one way or another in this as we have been reported coming countries like qatar, turkey, and egypt, have been using the ties with hamas try to release the hostages. We have just seen a report on the associated French News Agency afp that the turkish president another one who was planning a trip to israel has now cancelled it. It comes in the midst of intensifying pensions israels continuing military operations. This crisis has repercussions around the world. In the uk, the labour leader, sir keir starmer and his Deputy Angela rayner, will meet with muslim mps, amid tensions over the leaderships stance on the israel gaza war. It comes after an Islamic Centre visited by mr starmer accused him of � gravely misrepresenting its position. Earlier, i spoke to chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, who explained the issue. Sir keir starmer has actually generally had basically the same stance as the government since this war began, which is to support israels right to defend itself, to support israels specific goal of defeating hamas, but to warn that International Law should be followed and the humanitarian aid must be distributed in gaza. But theres a particular interview that keir starmer gave a couple of weeks ago in which he appeared to say that he believed israel had the right to cut off fuel and water from gaza, which has reverberated for for a long time afterwards and really sparked fury among some in the labour party, but especially at the grass roots. And a lot of labour mps are Hearing Concerns from their activists about that and have been passing those back to the labour leadership. And after keir starmer visited an Islamic Center in south wales a few days ago, the Islamic Center last night put out a statement basically apologising for hosting keir starmer and i asked a little while ago darrenjones, whos the Shadow Chief Secretary to the treasury in keir starmer� s shadow cabinet, about that. He took the opportunity to meet with the Muslim Community when he was there in south wales and off the back of that visit reaffirmed labour party policy, which is of course we want humanitarian aid to be made accessible to innocent civilians in gaza as quickly as possible given the emergency thats taking place there for civilians. I dont know why the centre in particular released that statement and i wasnt at the meeting, but i think its perfectly right and proper for keir starmer to want to meet with jewish communities, muslim communities and others who have an interest in whats happening in The Middle East and to listen to their concerns. I think you can hear there that the labour party and keir starmer� s team are desperate to soothe these tensions. One way theyre doing that is by saying that Keir Starmer Misspoke in that interview that sparked all of this a couple of weeks ago. They say he thought he was responding to a different question and that his view has always been that fuel and water must not be cut off from gaza and that whenever hes spoken about this issue in the House Of Commons, he has urged the government to give as much humanitarian support to the palestinians there as possible. Theres also this meeting that you mentioned which will take place this afternoon after Prime Ministers questions where keir starmer will try to reassure labour mps who are muslims or who have constituencies with large numbers of muslims, that the Labour Position is more nuanced perhaps than some of the angry constituents who have been contacting them believe it is. Henry, is it correct to say that in general, the main Political Parties in britain try to be Friends Of Israel and friends of the palestinians, but yet but in this crisis, that is ever more difficult. Think thats certainly true in general. Both both parties believe in a two state solution, and theyve both been emphasizing that when this has been discussed in the House Of Commons over the past couple of weeks, both rishi sunak and sir keir starmer have urged a sort of reinvigoration of negotiations towards a two state solution. But obviously that is much easier said than done. Thats the understatement of the century. And i think the the fact i mean, if you just look at the labour party where i think there is more division on this issue than there is in the Conservative Party at the moment, at least the fact that there are already these tensions weve been talking about over the labour partys position before the Ground Invasion were assuming is going to take place, has even begun, i think suggests that those tensions could perhaps just be magnified rather than being shut down and eased over the coming days. Goodbye from jersusalem. This is a day 19 of the conflict. Now back to the studio in london. Hello im lucy grey. Also making news this hour. In the uk, hospitalfailings are still causing too many deaths from sepsis, Ten Years After a report highlighted steps to take to drastically reduce fatalities. Thats according to the ombudsman which handles nhs complaints. With more details, heres our Health Correspondent dominic hughes. Every year in the uk there are around 118,000 deaths from sepsis, many of them preventable. In 2021, 13 year old martha mills died after hospital staff failed to correctly act on the Warning Signs of the illness. One year old william mead died in 2014 after his mums concerns were dismissed by doctors. And in 2011, two year old Maude Watkins died, having been sent home twice after her infection was missed. Sepsis is a life threatening overreaction to an infection, by the bodys immune system, that causes damage to both tissues and organs. Todays report says that, despite years of trying to raise awareness, mistakes are still being made, including delays in diagnosing and treating sepsis, poor communication between staff and substandard record keeping. Patients are not reliably being screened for sepsis. When sepsis is thought to be present, its not often recognised quickly and there are also often delays in treating. And of course, for a life threatening condition like sepsis, that can be catastrophic. The government has committed to implementing what is known as marthas rule, named after martha mills, to give patients the right to a Second Opinion if they believe their concerns are not being taken seriously.

Weve had some torrential rain this morning leading to some flooding issues, for example, in the Isle Of Wight and also some dense fog around, too. Now, some of that will still be slow to clear even as we head into the early afternoon. The rain, though, continuing to pull away courtesy of that Weather Front. But later, a next clutch of fronts come in from the southwest. We still do have a lot of cloud across scotland and Northern England with some showery outbreaks of rain as we head on into the afternoon. Blustery here, The Rain Clearing the far southeast with some cloud left behind. But equally therell be some sunshine across central areas and Northern Ireland before the cloud builds from the southwest ahead of this Weather Front coming our way. And the winds here, too, will start to strengthen. Top temperatures up to 15 or 16 through this evening and overnight. Through this evening and overnight, the rain continues to push northwards and eastwards falling on areas already flooded. Therell be blustery winds and showers continuing across the north of scotland and showers behind the rain band across parts of england and wales with brisk winds through the english channel. So that takes us into tomorrow. The Weather Front bringing the rain continues to advance northwards and eastwards. Therell be a lot of showers coming in behind it. We start with the rain across Northern Ireland, england and wales getting into the east and then moving up into northeast scotland. Prolific showers across western and southern areas, some of those moving inland as well. And we are looking at some sunshine in between, but temperatures nine to about 16 Degrees North to south. Then as we head into the latter part of the week, while we have Weather Fronts crossing us all connected to this area of low pressure, so theyre going to bring in rain or showers. And you can see from the isobars that it is going to be windy at times as well. So if we start by taking a look at whats happening on friday, weve got the rain across scotland. This is going to be heavy and persistent, frequent showers this in the south and also the west of the country, including Northern Ireland, few of those getting inland. But therell be some dry weather and sunshine inland as well. Temperatures 9 to 16 Degrees North to south. Saturday is also looking like another pretty showery day. But overnight, saturday into sunday, we do have some Rain Moving Northwards that will be in the north during the course of sunday and it will turn chillier with some snow on the hills in the north. Live from jerusalem, this is bbc news. Israel under growing pressure to pause its bombardment of gaza, so desperately needed aid can get in. Un aid workers warn they may have to end their operations as soon as tonight, because fuel is running out. If it does not come today, i then we are going to be put in a very difficult situation where we are going to have to make the decision over a reduction i of our humanitarian operation. And the situation on israels northern border with lebanon remains tense. Lets cross live to lyse doucet in jerusalem for the latest. It is one oclock in the afternoon in israel and in the gaza strip. The United Nations agency which looks after Palestinian Refugees has warned it may have to stop its work in gaza tonight if it doesnt receive urgent deliveries of fuel. Unrwa says it is currently sheltering almost 600,000 people in its facilities. Overnight, eight trucks carrying food, water and medicine crossed the rafah border between egypt and gaza but israel has banned fuel from entering the territory, saying hamas would use it for military purposes. Hamas is designated a Terrorist Organisation by the uk and many
