It means, according to those officials, that the total number killed in this war is now more than 5,700 including more than 2,000 children. Its becoming increasingly difficult to report from gaza, due to Safety Concerns and a lack of communications. But our correspondent fergal keane has been speaking to people there. Some of the footage in his report is hard to watch, but those who are there want the world to see it. It is distressing from the very beginning. What war would take away, they race to save. The young life of yazan al abadi. The adult hand on the childs heart. It could not save him. This child did survive airstrikes which doctors at al nasr hospital say killed 80 people. The little boy asks if his family is ok. Of the nearly 6,000 said by Gaza Health Authorities to have been killed so far, around 40 are reported to be children. Sharif came with his wounded son. He asked if the children were the enemies. Were they the ones whod kidnapped, the ones who had killed . There are the other wounds. What war does to the spirit of a child. Crying. Salma is nine. Crying. Israel says its only targeting the men who brought terror to its people. Over 400 airstrikes in the last day, unleashing the power of high explosive by night and by day. This was Khan Younis In The South of the gaza strip at 12 30 today, filmed by a bbcjournalist. The war has displaced 1. 4 Million People. In the tented camp at khan younis, cleanliness is part of the struggle to preserve dignity. | translation at night, its cold | and there arent enough blankets. We are sleeping on dirt. The children are all sick. Where are the rights of our children . Where are our human rights . The fun and the friendship of childhood. They grasp what they can, knowing how brutally it can be lost. Fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. Well, the worsening humanitarian situation in gaza is evident and despite it, Rushdi Abu Alouf the bbc� s gaza correspondent remains there, one of the few journalists still working in the territory. Hes in khan younis and some of his report about a pregnant woman whos been critically wounded has distressing images. Behind this door, doctors are fighting to save the life of a woman. She was badly injured this morning while she was pregnant in an air strike in a neighbourhood in khan younis. Doctors rescued the baby by caesarean, a quick caesarean operation. Her husband was was killed alongside members of the same family. But the mother is inside fighting for her life and for her baby. The hospitals here are struggling to cope with the number of people injured. I have seen people treated in the corridor of the hospital. People are treated in the courtyard of the hospital, because today was one of the deadliest attacks done by israel so far. This hospital is among the four hospitals in the south. Its the area where israel asked 1. 2 Million People in the north to flee. But this is the biggest one. And its been struggling without fuel to run the main generator in the hospital. And also, they said they have to cancel all nonessential operations and they are only treating people with life threatening injuries. So as you can see still a very dire situation on the ground in southern gaza. And for those who are avoiding the strikes there is the major issue of food, water and fuel supplies all close to running out. Despite trucks bringing some aid in, there is nowhere near enough available for the hundreds of thousands of people displaced. The situation today about a trying to get an. The situation today about a trying to net an. ,. , the situation today about a trying to aetan. , the situation today about a trying touetan. ,. , to get an. This is a catastrophe on to get an. This is a catastrophe on to of to get an. This is a catastrophe on tap of the to get an. This is a catastrophe on top of the catastrophe to get an. This is a catastrophe on top of the catastrophe and to get an. This is a catastrophe on top of the catastrophe and the to get an. This is a catastrophe on i top of the catastrophe and the small set of 20 trucks back on thursday or friday and theyre finally on saturday and on sunday, and 20 yesterday and today, words must be 40 and understand it is either zero or maybe eight who have gotten through. This isjust not enough. D0 through. This isjust not enough. Do you know any of the reasons on the proud why that has happened . I do not know the proud why that has happened . I if not know the latest, i know that the process is slow to get going in the inspection takes time and the need to be inspections that need to be sped up and it isjust not a sufficient flow of aid and goods coming into the gaza strip. Talking about timescales, coming into the gaza strip. Talking about timescales, what coming into the gaza strip. Talking about timescales, what this coming into the gaza strip. Talking| about timescales, what this means. We are having every day of real stock depletions, Fuel Depletions in hospitals going dark in the scramble and find more fuel to get the generator up and going but we are going to see waves of hospitals, Water Supplies are low and somewhat as been able to come back on line by Generating Fuel but all reaching zero stockpiles soon on food and water and food and electricity and were starting to see the first report of epidemics and people succumbing to disease because of poor sanitary conditions, lack of water and the lack of hygiene. For medical supplies, those talks about where he was in the facility and prioritising those at risk to life and not be able to give the normal level of care and presumably, without those medical supplies, were going to get increasing numbers of people in that situation. Medical supplies are huge piece of the humanitarian aid because it relies on all the time, 80 of palestinians in gaza rely on International Humanitarian assistance and medical supplies and bringing in tens of millions of dollars with the medicines and medical supplies each year we have not been able to do that in the two weeks since this started and we hope to be able to bring in those medical supplies and i believe we will but all of this needs to move faster because as you say, hospitals are getting to the Pump Theyjust do not have or they need to treat patients and the injured. And the injured. Talking by the timescales and the injured. Talking by the timescales again, and the injured. Talking by the timescales again, a and the injured. Talking by the timescales again, a sense and the injured. Talking by the timescales again, a sense of. And the injured. Talking by the timescales again, a sense of urgency from what youre saying. If were still talking about Tens Of Trucks going and for the next couple of days, how dyer would that be and give us a flavour of the kind of number of trucks that you want to see and when . The number of trucks that you want to see and when . Number of trucks that you want to see and when . The normal is 500 a da , to see and when . The normal is 500 a day. To nine see and when .

The normal is 500 a day, to nine to 12,000 trucks a day, to nine to 12,000 trucks a month and that is three, 400, even 500 today which is the norm and that is normal commercial goods plus humanitarian aid and at this point, its all have to be humanitarian aid and with zero tricks and goods coming in, that means five, 6000 trucks shouldve come in at that time we dont need to do is get back to some sense of normalcy, we need to some sense of normalcy, we need to make up for the gap and Re Stockpiles of food and water in medicines and so, were not close, three or 4 of the normal and really, we are to be over hundred percent of the normal in order to build back some of these gaps and provide life saving assistance of food and water that is needed and we are and just not close enough to what we need to save lives and keep people fed and healthy. People fed and healthy. Thank you ve much people fed and healthy. Thank you very much for people fed and healthy. Thank you very much for talking people fed and healthy. Thank you very much for talking to people fed and healthy. Thank you very much for talking to us. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Different stories from across the uk. Some people say it was the first hospital to use this artificial birthing model to put midwives through their paces before they trade out for real. Since it was introduced, it is a type of injury from shoulder dramatically. Shoulder distorts you happens in the Babies Headis distorts you happens in the babies head is born for the shoulders become stuck behind the mothers pubic bone. Delaying the birth of the babies body. According to a study by the hospital looking over a four year period from 2008, not a single baby suffered long term damage from shoulder to still see what they expect three or four cases. You probably want to do is, midwives across the world are being trained using this model. It seems this project could save tens of thousands of babies from a lifetime of paralysis. Youre live with bbc news. A bbc investigation has found the authorities have failed to act on warnings from coroners about a website that promotes suicide. At least 50 people in the uk have taken their own lives after visiting the pro Suicide Forum. But as Angus Crawford reports the site remains active. You may find parts of his report upsetting. The sad, the lost and the lonely. At least 50 people in the uk weve identified who ended their lives afterjoining a pro Suicide Forum. One was immy nunn. A Deaf Mental Health campaigner, immy had millions of views on tik tok, but she was finding life increasingly hard. Immy bought poison and in january ended her life. Just heartbreaking to know that she had to resort to going on a site like this. But weve discovered the authorities have known about the site for years. Weve seen multiple reports to the government from coroners warning the forum gives detailed instructions on how to end human life and is breaking the criminal law. When will something be done about it . How many lives have got to be lost . Former home secretary sajid javid. His own brother died by suicide. Surely this can be stopped. How dangerous it is. I mean, it must be countless lives that this site has already cost globally, notjust here in the uk. And so it would require action. Catherine and melanie know that only too well. The government are failing people. Police are failing. Theyve been campaigning to shut the forum down for years. Catherines son joe ended his life in 2020. And this is the man they hold responsible, an american, Lamarcus Small, one of the forums founders. Thats lamarcus, isnt it . What id love to do to that smile on that face. We managed to track down Lamarcus Small to huntsville in alabama. One of the reasons the site is still up is because the Authorities Say they dont know whos behind it. But we know that lamarcus helped set it up and he lives just there. I want to talk to you about the Suicide Forum you set up. You know, hundreds of people have died after going on that. Children are even going on that. Have you got anything to say to the relatives of the dead . The government says the new 0nline safety bill should tackle these kinds of sites, but the forum has already said it wont comply, and for now it remains up, preying on the vulnerable.

There have been frequent crossfire between the idf and hezbollah, a militant group considered a Terrorist Organisation by the uk, the us and others. Theres been much discussion of hezbollah� s role in the conflict, but who are the group . My colleague Simi Jor La O Sho has more. Hezbollah is a shia, islamist political and militant group that wields considerable power in lebanon. Hezbollah is backed by iran and is designated a Terrorist Organisation by some western countries as well as israel and some arab countries. It was formed in 1982 in response to israels invasion of lebanon. When it formally announced its establishment in 1985, hezbollah identified the us and the then soviet union as its principal enemies. It also called for the obliteration of israel. After the Syrian Military imposed peace on lebanon in 1990, hezbollah began to play an active role in lebanese politics. In 1992, it successfully participated in National Elections for the first time. The group was credited with getting Israeli Forces to withdraw from israel in 2000. Hezbollah then is it to the pressure to get rid of its arms and continue to strengthen its military wing, whose capabilities in some ways exceeds those of the lebanese army. In 2006, hezbollah militants launched a cross border attack in which eight Israeli Soldiers were killed and two others kidnapped, triggering a massive israeli response. Israel bombed hezbollah strongholds and more than 1000 people mainly lebanese civilians died. Yet hezbollah survived the war and emerged emboldened. In 2008, when lebanon was at the brink of a civil war, the western backed lebanese government agreed to a Power Sharing Agreement that gave hezbollah and its allies the power to veto any cabinet decision. Hezbollah has continued to upgrade and expand its Weapons Arsenal and recruit scores of new fighters. Most recently, it has exchanged fire with israel on lebanons southern border. Some lebanese people consider hezbollah a threat to the countrys stability, but it is enduringly popular within the shia community. Joining me now is hanin haddar, Senior Fellow at the washington insitute a think tank which believes strong United States israel ties advance American National security interests, and author of hezbollahland. What do you think is the calculation of hezbollah right now . Do you think they will be involved . This of hezbollah right now . Do
