From southern israel. As israel intensifies its air strikes before its widely expected ground strike, palestinian homes have been hit without warning. These pictures are from rafah where locals pulled victims from the rubble of a house that was hit overnight. And these images are from khan younis in Southern Gaza. Israel had asked Palestinian Civilians to move south for their own safety as it said it was focusing its air strikes on hamas infrastructure. The Israel Defence forces released this video of air strikes over gaza. We cant independently verify when this was shot. Gazais gaza is the south but to the north, israel has also launched fresh air strikes. This time at iran backed hezbollah inside lebanon. This is a video of it firing at hezbollah. 34 3a aid trucks has so far managed to get into gaza. The main un agency there says hundreds of trucks of aid are needed every day. The Rafah Crossing is currently the only route into gaza because its the only one that doesnt border israel. This means that it is the only entry point for aid as it stands. Here is our middle eastern correspondent Yolande Knell with the latest. A sleepless night in gaza. From afar, the flashes of successive israeli air strikes in gaza city as israel steps up its bombing campaign. And amid more and more destruction, and a mounting death toll, the un is warning of a catastrophic humanitarian situation. Over the weekend, more than 30 lorry loads of aid were allowed into gaza from egypt, carrying food, water and medicines. Its just a fraction of what entered daily before israel put the hamas controlled territory under siege. Confirming the deliveries, the uns humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths called it a Glimmer Of Hope but said further supplies were desperately needed. With more than a million displaced people, some now living in this un tent city, there are urgent needs. People inside gaza need their most basic necessities, such as food, water, fuel and access to health services. So there is still a far, far way to go. Israel has signalled it will be sending its tanks and troops into gaza in the next stage of this war. After the deadliest attack in the countrys history, it says it aims to crush hamas. Translation it will take one month, two months, three months and at the end there will be no more hamas. Before hamas makes contact with our tanks and our infantry, they will know the shells from our airforce. And israel is also striking in lebanon, as along its northern border, the troops fight the powerful Lebanese Armed group, hezbollah, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. Then, there are other complications in israels Military Offensive in gaza. More than 200 hostages being held by hamas. Some of theirfamilies have been meeting the president with a simple message, bring them home. Yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. And Yolande Knelljoins me here injerusalem. We were talking a little bit earlier. We are hearing here about the hostages, about limited Israeli Forces entering the gaza strip to see if they can get more information about the whereabouts of the hostages. One soldier killed overnight but this is not the widely expected Ground Offensive, is it . Not at this stage. We have had confirmation of this happening from the Israeli Military that they are having small groups coming into the gaza strip. It encountered one of these small armed forces overnight and that they were fighting that took place. The soldier that was killed close to tarmac. They went into gather intelligence about these groups. The next stage of this war is excited to be this Ground Offensive also to locate them whereabouts of these hostages. There are more than 220 of them, according to the israelis. To the israelis. 222, they say. Israeli authorities to the israelis. 222, they say. Israeli authorities have to the israelis. 222, they say. Israeli authorities have also i to the israelis. 222, they say. I israeli authorities have also said that more than 330 Israeli Soldiers have been killed in this increase in facilities over the last two weeks. We have any more about this Ground Offensive was yellow only the comments we have had from the Defence Minister who said that it was coming soon. He also said that the overall time frame we are looking at here, it could be one, two or three months and at the moment, it is an aerial bombardment and the aim is to make it saferfor Israeli Forces in the next stage. They say they should move to the south of gaza, away from hamas infrastructure but overnight, there were air strikes over the south . Thats right and out of mores 300 targets ahead overnight, we have also had 60 of those in the south of the gaza strip and crucially, that is where more than i million the gaza strip and crucially, that is where more thani Million People living in the gaza strip in the north were told to evacuate to say thatis north were told to evacuate to say that is adding to the sense that there is no safety in the south, especially with humanitarian supplies not really getting in. People saying they dont feel like they have enough food, enough water. They would rather go back to their homes and we have had the un saying that it homes and we have had the un saying Thatitis Homes and we have had the un saying that it is seeing hundreds, perhaps thousands of those who had originally fled south, now go back north again. Originally fled south, now go back north again originally fled south, now go back north aaain. ,. ,. ,. ,. , north again. Israel has named hamas and sa s it north again. Israel has named hamas and says it hides north again. Israel has named hamas and says it hides among north again. Israel has named hamas and says it hides among civilians. And says it hides among civilians. It is inflaming passions and rage across the middle east, we talked earlier about israels border with lebanon but closer to home in palestinian towns and cities in the west bank, protests, arrests and israel has had exchanges fired at palestinian. Israel has had exchanges fired at palestinian. , palestinian. Indeed, what we have seen is that palestinian. Indeed, what we have seen is that people palestinian. Indeed, what we have seen is that people around palestinian. Indeed, what we have seen is that people around the seen is that people around the region and particular other palestinians, are living this war in real time. They are glued to social media, they are seeing constantly the images of what is happening, the personal testimony from people in gaza, overnight there are horrible scenes from khan younis and we could see people buried in the makeshift graves. This is inflaming tensions that were already running high. We had been focusing on other parts of the region but the occupied west bank is just beyond the hills beyond us. Tensions there are simmering and this is another big consideration. We have had more than 90 People Killed by Israeli Security forces and also by Israeli Settlers in the past two weeks and its getting relatively little attention and at the same time as israel is fighting in these other fronts, it could well face serious escalation in the west bank as well. Face serious escalation in the west bank as well face serious escalation in the west bank as well. Yolande knell, Thank Ou Ve Bank as well. Yolande knell, thank you very much bank as well.

Our middle east correspondentjoining us there. Our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet updated me on israels aerial bombardment of gaza. We hearfrom the israeli Defence Forces repeatedly now, this is the current phase of their military operation, that they will intensify, they will widen, deep in the air strikes. They say they are making progress in destroying hamas infrastructure, they are killing hamas political and military leaders. This morning, where we are, less than a mile from the gaza border, we have heard a lot of israeli artillery, heavy artillery, that has been the sound every morning since we have been here for nearly two weeks. This crisis started on October The 7th and almost nonstop israeli apartments since then. Bombardment since then. We also hearing from the gaza strip, while israel says air strikes overnight targeted hamas infrastructure and cells, in gaza, the strikes hit the north, where israel had said people had to flee, it hit the centre but also the south, which is meant to be the place gazans flee to, for their safety and protection. The Palestinian Authority is saying that palestinian homes are being hit without warning. There are reports of strikes and we are seeing pictures of the result, the devastation of those strikes in Southern Gaza. As you say, more than a million palestinians have been displaced internally inside gaza, being told by gaza to move internally inside gaza, being told by israel to move towards that Southern Area of the country and pockets where they will be able to receive the aid that is trickling in. But we are hearing also of gazans saying, we are going to go back to our homes in central and Northern Gaza because we dont seem to be safe anywhere . We can only begin to imagine the desperation of gazan civilians. We even hear it from our own reporters, including rushdi, who has moved four times since this war erupted. He is now living in a tent, finding it hard to water. The United Nations says the hospitals are running out of fuel, putting so many lives at risk. We are hearing a drone, we think, in the skies above us, a constant buzz in the air where we are broadcasting from. The United Nations has been critical, saying the bombardment is continuing in the south and this was supposed to be a place where aid could be delivered, once more aid gets in, and where people could feel safe. But the situation there has been described as at breaking point. People are scrambling for water, scrambling to find food and also not finding any at all and meanwhile living with terrified children, not knowing when and where the next bombs were dropped. We just have some updated figures from the Palestinian Health ministry. They say that over these last two weeks of escalation in complex sense hamas unprecedented attack inside israel and israel beginning these daily bombardment over gaza, the death toll in gaza is now over 5000. They say its 5087. With 1000 over 1500 injured. Now over 5000. They say its 5087. With1000 over 1500 injured. Weve had eu Foreign Ministers meeting in luxembourg today and on their list has been discussing the crisis here in the middle east. The Eus Foreign Affairs chief, josep borrell, has told reporters at an eu Foreign Affairs council in luxembourg that the aid currently being sent in to gaza is not enough. In cairo, the Secretary General of the United Nations made a dramatic call in order to allow humanitarian help to enter. The first aid 20 trucks were allowed to come, 20. Yesterday, there were about 20 more. But in normal times, without war, 100 trucks enter into gaza every day, so its clear that 20 is not enough. Thats the eu Foreign Policy chief speaking at a meeting in luxembourg about the dire need for aid to reach the Palestinian Civilians in the gaza strip. Our correspondent rushdi abu alouf, and his family, have been displaced four times in gaza in the past two weeks. They are currently sleeping in tents in the south of gaza nearby khan younis and this was his assessment when i spoke to him earlier of the situation on the ground and just a reminder that in israels air strikes overnight over gaza, some of those were also near khan younis in the south, where israel had asked civilians in gaza to go for their own safety. The 35 trucks that were allowed in from egypt yesterday and overnight are just a drop in the ocean. They need some sort of sustainable aid because this place now is a refuge for more than a Million People who had to flee their homes in the north and gaza city and they are living in khan younis, and some in the middle, but khan younis is the hub, it is the second largest city in the entire gaza strip. So the majority of those fled here into hospitals themselves, hundreds of people are taking the hospitals as refuge. They are sleeping on the ground, they are begging from journalists, they are begging just for food. I saw Two Little Boys begging forfood, begging for water, which is not available. People are trying to secure anything just to keep the kids alive. They will either die in air strikes or they will die from hunger. This is a real challenge for the local authority here to manage what is very little resources available. In the hospital here, this is the largest medical centre after shifa and gaza city, this hospital is supposed to be serving over two thirds of the population and the hospital itself is struggling. They have very little fuel left. They managed to get a little shipment from a local factory nearby to keep the hospital running. They said we are managing day by day, we have a little fuel for one day. Imagine if this hospital is stopped. According to the health ministry, about 20 hospitals and medical centres are out of service. If this is one of them, then we are talking about a catastrophe.

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.
