And a blockade are continuing before an expected Ground Offensive. Un agencies say theres only 2a hours left, of water, electricity and fuel while food will run out in five days. These are the pictures of khan younis in Southern Gaza which was struck overnight but thousands of people continue to arrive after fleeing the north. Its reported that trucks have arrived at gazas Southern Border with egypt, but so far theyve been unable to enter. The us says its working on a plan to get humanitarian supplies into gaza. There are repeated warnings, of a deepening humanitarian crisis. More than 2,800 people have been killed in the israeli air strikes. President biden is expected in israel tomorrow. Hell be briefed on israels aims and strategies in response to the hamas attacks that killed 1,400 people. He is expected to meet regional leaders as well. In its strongest warning yet, iran, which backs hamas, has said it could take pre emptive action in the next few hours. And in a new development, The Pentagon Has said 2000 us troops have been put on deployment alert the bbc is working to establish what exactly that means. This is the scene across gaza right now. Have seen through the course of today, just like the previous ten days, more rockets going out. Its missile strikes coming in. That is the latest picture. With the latest heres yolande knell. The scramble for survivors in this crater where homes used to stand. This was Northern Gaza after another deadly israeli air strike. At another scene, a mans stretchered out alive. But there were also childrens bodies in the rubble. This was in the south after a million palestinians were told to move here for their safety. Israels military says its targeting hamas hideouts and militant sites. Before dawn, lorries loaded with desperately needed aid were lining up in egyptjust across the borderfrom gaza. Hours later, the Rafah Crossing remained firmly shut. The dilemma how to get supplies to needy civilians but not hamas. When President Biden visits, it will be high on his agenda. The United States and israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organisations to reach civilians in gaza, and them alone, including the possibility of creating areas to help keep civilians out of harms way. It is critical that aid begin flowing into gaza as soon as possible. For israelis still reeling from the hamas atrocities a week and a half ago, there is growing fear about some 200 people, including children, being held hostage. But hamas has now released footage showing one woman alive. Mia schem is 21. The bbc doesnt usually show hostage videos. But her family agreed we could use these pictures. They are demanding her release. I am begging the world to bring my baby back home. She only went to a party, to a festival party, to have some fun. And now shes in gaza. And shes not the only one. There are many children who went to this party. As israel gets ready for an escalation in its offensive in gaza, the presence of so many of its own citizens held captive is a worrying complication. But its military insists its sticking to its goal, to eradicate hamas. Yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem.

We will target where you are targeting. It is the same answer. We will target anything that threatens israel. If we see people wrapping up launchers any building, this is a cynical enemy, they are entrenching in their civilians and using them as human shields. We are doing everything we can but our goal is very clear. This will never happen to israel again. Do you not worry his brother are watching the scenes and pictures his brother mac, and potentially entering this conflict, actually joining the war, broadening the war with Israel Fighting on two fronts. The country of lebanon and the people of ii on have to ask themselves if they want to risk their future for hamas. That is a very simple question. Just to remind you, it wouldnt be wise for them to come into this, ourfocus right now is dealing with hamas and gaza, we are not fighting the Palestinian People. We are not intentionally attacking children. We are doing everything we can, but go back to that saturday, 11 days ago, they came in, sorted our children, slotted our children, kidnapped people. They went after our civilians, mothers, our children. We have 199 confirmed hostages kidnapped into children, babies. It was interesting listening to Martin Griffiths from the un only yesterday saying it is not a contradiction to hold two thoughts at once. That it was an egregious act to take hostages and lodge those attacks, but also that the Palestinian People had nothing to do with those things and should be protected. Do you agree with him .
