People living under it and is really seized and constant air strikes. Israel says that Bombing Raids which have intensified our Targeting Members of hamas, the Group Responsible for murdering over 1400 responsible for murdering over moo israelis in the attacks on the 7th of october. Meanwhile as that conflict plays out, the push to find a diplomatic solution to the israel gaza war, us President Joe Biden has again spoken to israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. The most recent communication was over the phone, but the pair met in person on wednesday when President Biden visited israel to show support. The white house also says the president has discussed the war with the leaders of the uk, canada, france, germany and italy. Frances president Emmanuel Macron and the dutch Prime Minister, mark rutte, have also now announced theyll visit on monday and tuesday. And at the rafah border crossing, several Trucks Wyre Davies has our first report tonight, from jerusalem. The human toll in gaza is mounting. These casualties brought to the al aqsa hospital in central gaza are outside the zone from which israel had told civilians to flee. Its not known from where the victims came, but many of the dead and injured are children. Some images, too distressing to broadcast show the bodies of at least a dozen children. Translation we have been here since the Crack Of Dawn L and the bodies have completely filled the hospital yard. This is in addition to the bodies and refrigerators which are full. We dont have enough shrouds for the dead because the numbers are huge. Israeli air strikes in response to the massacres of october 7th are against what it calls strategic hamas targets. They have left parts of the gaza strip looking like a wasteland. Such bombings, say palestinians, is indiscriminate by its very nature, resulting in thousands of casualties. No ones getting out of gaza for now. But through the border with egypt today, more than a dozen aid trucks did get in carrying basic food and medical supplies. After an initial transfer of 20 truckloads yesterday. But the un says its nowhere near the 500 trucks daily needed to sustain a population of more than two million. 30 , according to our sources, of the infrastructure is already destroyed. The un says that many who fled south to escape israeli bombing are now heading back to homes in Northern Gaza towards the shelling. So dire is the humanitarian situation. Some people will die if they dont get insulin on a regular basis. There are 50,000 pregnant women in gaza. Water is absolutely necessary to keep them alive. But the situation is set to worsen. Thousands of israeli troops, tanks and heavy armour are preparing for a full scale Ground Offensive in gaza once bombing from the air achieves its objective. Its what israel says it has to do if hamas is to be crushed. I have no doubt that israel will need to go in on the ground to be able to effectively hurt and undermine and weaken hamas, but also to be able to project power in this region and show the world and its other adversaries that are watching that we have capabilities. And i think its a matter of day or days until that happens. But israel knows a Land Invasion of gaza could trigger conflict in the wider region. In the Palestinian West Bank city ofjenin. Israel says it hit a hamas cell preparing for an attack after cross border skirmishes, too, in southern lebanon. A warning from israels Prime Minister to hezbollah militia and their sponsors, iran, not to get involved. If hezbollah decides to enter the war, theyll be making the biggest mistake of their lives and hit with unimaginable force, said the Prime Minister, talking to Israeli Soldiers in the north today. One factor mr netanyahu cant control is the fate of more than 200 israeli and International Hostages held by hamas in gaza, whose families fear an israeli invasion may put their lives in further danger.

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. 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.

Their mum and dad also taken. Hamas filmed the kidnap. It is described as babies surrounded by terrorists. It is the worst nightmare. I could never imagine Something Like this could happen.

The Us State Department says that the United States stands with the philippines in the face of what it called chinas repeated harassment in the South China Sea, describing chinas actions as dangerous and unlawful. It comes after a chinese coastguard boat and a Philippine Supply Vessel collided in the South China Sea. The filipino vessel was on its way to a philippine outpost in the second thomas shoal, where tensions have escalated in recent weeks. Manila said beijings Dangerous Blocking Manoeuvres endangered the safety of the filipino crew. But china claimed it blocked the vessel because it was carrying illegal Construction Materials. Its the latest flare up in a long territorial dispute in the sea one of the worlds busiest trade routes. Earlier i spoke to dr bill hayton, who wrote a book about the disputes in the South China Sea. He is associate fellow with the Asia Pacific Programme at chatham house. And we shared his view on these developments. Well this ship has been on the Second Thomas Show since may 1999 and it is quite literally falling apart, so the philippines is under pressure to bring some Construction Materials or some kind of Repair Equipment in order to simply, you know, stop the ship wasting away. Now about five or six philippines marines live on it, and they have these rotated Resupply Missions where they bring supplies and daily needs to the marines. I hear the chinese are trying to stop them bringing on extra things like steel or scaffolding poles to reinforce it, and thats what its about. And china, you know, im not quite sure why they decided to make this such a big issue at this time, but its been going on for some time where what is happening now that is new really, both sides are releasing videos to expose the actions of the other side. All this happening at a time when there is a major conflict in the middle east, where every is attention is where much attention is there, the United States has released a statement saying they stand by the philippines but in the long run how will they be looking at this development . Governments have say they are supporting the philippines efforts at the moment, and i think you know, this is the latest stage as something that is been going on for quite some time, i dont think it is specifically timed to coincide with whats going off in the middle east or ukraine, the Maritime Militia just doing their thing, and they have enough forces based at the islands that china has built over the past decade in the southern part of the South China Sea to and for some kind of blockade against the philippines. And i think everyone is going to be watching this was some kind of concern, the philippines and the us have a mutual defence treaty, so if the chinese were to do something against his ship of the Philippines Navy or to do something against a ship of the Philippines Navy or coastguard, that could be grounds to invoke that treaty. Though i think everybody will be very cautious before they do so. Votes are being counted in argentina in polls to elect a new president as the country faces the prospect of economic collapse.
