"this is shani on the pick—up truck." this is where she was face down? yes, she was in a weird position, looks unconscious, blood on the head and the pick—up was driving inside the gaza strip and people were shouting and celebrating and spitting on her, and it was terrible, and we were just in shock. do you think israel's doing the right thing now? i don't know what in the end will be, because there are really many innocent civilians also there in gaza and they shouldn't suffer, but there needs to be something radical with the terrorists to be done, because if not, we will be back in this in the next few years. they will get the weapons again and they will train again. israel's pounding of gaza has not stopped. neither has its rage diminished. jeremy bowen, bbc news, in southern israel. three quarters of gazans — that's over a million people — have now moved to the south after being warned by the israeli military to leave their homes in the north. but earlier, dozens were reported killed by air strikes in the southern gazan cities of khan younis, rafah and deir al—balah. and the humanitarian situation is growing more urgent by the hour. the international committee of the red cross says a humanitarian convoy delivering lifesaving medical supplies has come under fire in gaza city. on tuesday, the world health organization said doctors are performing operations, including amputations, without anaesthesia, with some hospitals out of fuel. our gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf, sent this report. the deadliest air strike in khan younis. more than 30 people were killed in khan younis, rafah and deir al—balah — all of these areas in the south. it's the area that israel asked people to flee here, they said it's safe. today, we are having more people coming from gaza city into the southern part. in fact, they were walking about five kilometres because the road that leads to gaza city was damaged — the salah al—din road, which israel was advising people to take, to take into the south. i have met some people who were, like, walking a very long way to make it because no access to the road. one month on, still, hamas are able to fire rockets. there is still fighting going on on eight different fronts in gaza, especially in the north—west and south—west of gaza, where israel ground operation has been expanding and the grip around gaza city has been tightening. and the humanitarian situation there is really of the catastrophic hunger. i was talking to a father of nine people there, you know, communication is very hard, but between time to time, we catch someone there. he said, "i have no food, i have no money and i have no water." there is no clean water because all of the aid coming from egypt — which is very little, according to the un — not reaching those about half a million people who live in gaza city and the north. here in the south, the situation isn't better. it's quieter, a little bit, less air strikes, but the struggle to find food and water and the struggle for the hospital to find medicine is also continuing. here in the us, intelligence chiefs have raised concerns over an increase in terror threats against americans. i spoke to republican congressman michael turner about this. he's the chair of the house intelligence committee. chairman, you are raising the alarm about hamas inspired terrorist attacks on americans. why? last week the fda, in front of the senate, indicated that the terror threat against citizens of the united states within the united states was higher than it had been for a decade. we received a briefing from the director today following up on those comments. he was very clear that the threat is emanating from individuals who have affiliations with terrorist groups, organisations located in the united states, some of which have come across our open border and the fact that hezbollah, hamas, even isis have called for attacks, he is raising the alarm not only in the united states but american and us interests abroad, that those are now targets, and the increased threat is there as well. . ., ~ ., well. chairman turner, we know that grouns _ well. chairman turner, we know that grouns in — well. chairman turner, we know that groups in iraq _ well. chairman turner, we know that groups in iraq and - well. chairman turner, we know that groups in iraq and syria - that groups in iraq and syria have attacked us positions. but hamas itself has not declared a name to attack the us itself. is there a link to hamas of the threat you are mentioning? hamas has indicated that they believe people should undertake attacks identifying both the united states and israel and, you know, european interests that support israel. those types of calls are certainly of concern but there is also the concern but there is also the concern the fbi director has raised of individuals who are followers of those groups or organisations, isis, hezbollah, hamas, and finding inspiration in the attacks that they have undertaken. looking to them for directions or may be in touch with the organisation. you mentioned _ with the organisation. you mentioned the _ with the organisation. you mentioned the border. - with the organisation. you mentioned the border. in the hearing last week, director ray didn't mention the border. is there intelligence on this as well?
