Targets in the past day. This blast in gaza was shot today by cameras in southern israel. Palestinian Authorities Say homes were 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, also in southern gaza. There were dozens of air strikes throughout the night some 100 metres from a hospital. The Israel Defence forces released this video of air strikes in gaza. We dont know when it was shot. Israel also says it mounted limited ground raids into gaza to attack hamas and find information about the 222 hostages being held. Further north, israel has also launched fresh air strikes against the iran backed hezbollah in lebanon. Hezbollah said one of its fighters had been killed. The head of the Main Un Agency Helping Palestinians in gaza says hundreds of truckloads of aid are needed every day, rather than the few dozen that have been allowed in so far. The trucks that have gone in have used the Rafah Crossing on the egyptian border because it is the only route into gaza that doesnt border israel. We start this hour of coverage with our gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf. He has just sent us this update from the scene of one of the israeli airstrikes in khan younis. This is a 3 storey building that was flattened overnight by the israeli air strike. 300 targets in a night witnessed may be one of the heaviest air strikes of the israeli hamas war here. As we are going through the third week of this conflict we understand that two People Killed and several people injured in this building, but also this scale of damage in this residential area left many of the people around the area homeless. They are displaced, and there is a school run by the un and also some in the hospitals. Those people are suffering from hiv cache a severe shortage of food, fuel and medicine. The trucks of and medical supplies and some water coming into gaza via egypt, there is a little bit of hope that this pipeline from egypt into gaza will be helping those in need, but what people here need the most is a sustainable humanitarian corridor to relieve those who are in great need for water, medicine and medical supplies. People are fearing the israelis expanding this operation and sending ground troops. The khan younis area experienced back in 2014, one of the places that israel invaded, they witnessed fighting going street to street and house to house, and people are already suffering by the air strikes, so if the tanks start to advance to this area, we might see the situation getting more tense. As israel continues its Bombing Campaign in gaza against what it says are strategic hamas targets. But the Israeli Military has been accused of bombing areas of southern gaza, near to where it had ordered civilians to flee. As israel prepares for the next phase of its operation to defeat hamas an anticipated Land Invasion of gaza more International Leaders are expected in the region this week, calling for restraint. Wyre davies reports. It isa it is a part of gaza where people should have felt relatively safe. The southern part of the strip is where israel had ordered more than a million palestinians to flee, away from their targets in the north. But last night was the worst so far in the town of khan younis. Israel preserving its right to pursue hamas targets anywhere, with devastating consequences for civilians.

And while Benjamin Netanyahu will not want to seem indecisive over his vow to crush hamas, he does have other considerations. With more than 200 is and International Hostages being held by hamas in gaza, some of their relatives want the Israeli Government to make a deal. Americaback president biden, whose Opinion Matters in israel, has also called the release of hostages is highest priority. Trapped on a tiny sliver of land between the border and the sea, the fate of the hostages and gas ares 2. 1 million residents hangs in the balance, dependent on what israel and also what hamas does next. Wyre davies, bbc news. Aid agencies say they have a secondary crisis on their hands in gaza without enough clean water, they fear as many people will die from Waterborne Diseases as they will from the bombs.

What we are hearing from people is that they dont have enough to drink and when they are Drinking Cotton it is from agricultural wells so people are now worried about disease as well as they are being bombed. So if they dont get bombed then disease will get them. They dont have enough to eat, those who need critical medicines, they dont have access to them so they are absolutely terrified, and for those who moved from the north to the south, as your earlier reporter was saying, there have been a lot of stories now are people who have decided to make the return journey to gaza city because they would prefer to die in their homes there rather than in an overcrowded shelter. The conditions that people are existing in our beyond dyer. Unless more aid gets in, absolutely as soon as it can, then im afraid that figure of 5000 is going to go up that figure of 5000 is going to go up extremely fast. A letter should remember that 1800 of those 5000 are children. This is the reality of gaza now. As a humanitarian catastrophe. Gaza now. As a humanitarian catastrophe gaza now.

That is the short of it. People will also be living in darkness. The conditions they are living in are inhumane. I dread to think what this will be doing to those who are left after this. And let us not forget that gazas a population of over 2 million, just over half of those under 18, this is about their fifth or sixth war they have been through. The level of trauma is going to be through the roof. They need water, they need food, they need the very basics to stay alive and at the moment that is not getting in.

We know communications are very difficult with anybody in gaza, how are you managing to get in touch with people on the ground there . Aha, with people on the ground there . Lot of ingenuity, for most of the organisations we support, one of the Childrens Centres in southern gaza, before this they were relying as much on solar panels, so all of them are basically wiring up, charging their phones, and we have a short period where we can get in touch with them. The fear that we all have is that we are all used to getting all the text when you get whats up mistress, when you dont get the two takes you begin to worry whether the person on the other end has made it through the night. But we try and stay in touch as much as we are able to but the reality is that we do get some days without hearing back from people.

Israel says a Ground Attack is imminent and continues its calls for people to leave the north of gaza. But western leaders are pressuring israel to show restraint. Live now to tobias bork, The Middle East security Senior Research fellow at the Royal United Services institute. Welcome. Just over two weeks into this conflict, with israel vowing to eradicate hamas, what is your assessment of when this Ground Offensive will take place and what form it could take place in .

Im not sure anyone else, either the Israeli Security establishment or those close to it, that is foreign leaders coming to visit. I dont think they actually have a proper insight on when this Ground Offensive will take place. I think there is still a strong expectation that it will indeed take place. But many had expected it to start a week ago. 0r certainly the last few days. So i think at this point we can do is continue to speculate. Think at this point we can do is continue to speculate.

It is decision making, you think . It 3 certainly one of the constraints. I think ahead of launching Ground Offensive, there is a number of constraints, one of them is the hostages, that is, have you exhausted all the avenues to get hostages out, or do you, by going above the Ground Offensive essentially end all possibilities for negotiation . Do you perhaps even endanger their lives by targeting certain infrastructures . That is constraint. 0thers include the calls for restraint and to minimise civilian casualties, but he spoke about earlier. As well as, you know, wider political considerations, worries about this conflict expanding once the Ground Offensive begins.

All eyes are on hezbollah, the non state organisation in lebanon, very similar to organisation in lebanon, very similarto hamas, organisation in lebanon, very similar to hamas, they resist israel as part of its raison detre, really. What we have had over the last two weeks is a lot of threats, but of posturing, and some small scale clashes between Israeli Security forces and hezbollah but the fear remains that once a Ground Offensive starts, the death toll amongst civilians increases and so on, that this could lead the leadership of hezbollah to become involved more strongly. 0therwise leadership of hezbollah to become involved more strongly.
