was marked respectfully and without incident on whitehall. we are creeping across that much and will keep you updated on any developments. —— we are keeping a cross that march. the prosests in london come as the director of the al—shifa hospital in gaza city says patients, especially those in intensive care, have started to die. the hospital was forced to suspend operations because it's run out of fuel. doctors say one baby has died at the hospital — and more than 30 more are at risk — as electricity has been cut amid a major israeli offensive. there have been reports of intensified fighting close to a number of hospitals in the territory overnight. the bbc has heard from a doctor at al—shifa, who says its intensive care unit had been hit. according to the world health organization, there are currently 130 babies on incubators in gaza. 45 of them are believed to be at the al—shifa hospital. the gaza health ministry say 39 of them are now at serious risk of death, given the lack of fuel and power. israel's military has been closing in on northern gaza. these purple areas show the approximate location of soldiers, as fighting ramps up in gaza city. the international charity msf says unless there's a ceasefire, al—shifa and other hospitals will turn into graveyards. israel has repeatedly accused hamas of using al—shifa to conceal an underground command centre but hospital staff have denied this. nick beake reports. israel's latest attack on gaza overnight, an unrelenting barrage, like most nights over the last few weeks. israeli forces have now surrounded gaza city's major hospitals, some palestinians waving white flags, desperate to reach safety. israel claims hamas have built a control centre under gaza's biggest hospital, making it a legitimate military target. inside the wards of the al—shifa hospital, chaos. patients fill the beds, and the floors. many cannot be saved. 0ne surgeon told the bbc this morning it was becoming impossible to operate. translation: you hear- the bombardment everywhere, every second around the al—shifa hospital, and no one can get out from the al—shifa hospital. no one can come to the al—shifa hospital. the situation is very, very dangerous. there is no water, even in the main building, no electricity, no food even, and no fuel. the israeli defence forces released this footage of what it said were its latest assaults on hamas positions. israel maintains it's doing all it can to avoid civilian casualties. translation: hundreds of thousands of gaza's residents have _ already moved south, and hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent them from doing so. hamas uses civilians as human shields. it is ready to endanger the lives of children of gaza to protect itself. it has no limits. hamas, isis, hides in hospitals. it hides in humanitarian facilities. it hides in schools. it does all these actions that are a war crime and against international law. israel says over the past few days, more than 150,000 palestinians have followed its order to leave northern gaza. but many families cannotjoin the evacuation and remain trapped on the front line. nick beake, bbc news, jerusalem. earlier we got the latest from our correspondent in gaza, rushdi aboualouf. in khan younis today, more than 2000, 3000 people have already fled from the north and they arrived here in khan younis. people are still going, moving, evacuating the gaza city in the north and coming to khan younis. very few of them, two or three people, they were coming from al—shifa hospital. they said the situation remained very tense around the hospital, with the tanks getting closer and closer to the gate of the hospital and the access in and out of the hospital is almost impossible. now, very few people, like, five or six people, they managed to escape under fire from the hospital this morning. but they told me about 10,000 people remain in the courtyard of the hospital. no electricity there. most of the operations are suspended, including the intensive care unit in the hospital. communication with those who are in the hospital are extremely difficult. i managed to call a journalist who may be the last one who was there and he said he is unable to do any sending any picture or talking to anybody in the hospital but he described what is going on around the hospital as a real war. we have to understand that this is notjust the hospital. this is the biggest medical centre, like the biggest kidney dialysis department is in this hospital. the biggest surgery is in this hospital. this is notjust a symbol, this is very complicated. the story with those thousands of people are still trapped civilians inside the hospital. last thing i want to say about al—shifa hospital is that today, about 100 dead bodies were buried in the car park of the hospital because they said they were unable to move them to the cemetery and they have no space in the morgue. they have to bury about 100 people. they say they were killed from an air strike on a school yesterday, nearby, shot a refugee camp close to the hospital so they were buried in a mass grave in the car park of the hospital. joining me live is our diplomatic correspondent paul adams who's injerusalem. it is not just it is notjust al—shifa hospital, three other major hospitals in the gaza strip are now also on the front of israel's ground invasion. what is it the idf say they are doing there? the idf argues, and we have heard this a lot, that hamas are using these facilities as cover for their activities. this morning, there was activities. this morning, there was a briefing about another hospital which is further into the city than al—shifa hospital, which is a bit closer to the coast, and they're essentially the israeli military has forced the almost complete evacuation of that hospital in the last few days. i was told just now that about 18 to 20 patients and a handful of staff remained there. what the israeli military did was after days and days of trying to persuade people to leave, they basically moved so close that the people inside probably felt that it was wiser to leave than to stay. the scenes that you briefly saw in nick's package people leaving a gate and running back in, that the israelis say was because people did start to leave waving white flags, following israeli instructions and then gunfire rang out and they say that was hamas gunfire trying to force people to stay inside. that's narrative the israelis are presenting is one where people are huddled in these hospitals and are now being compelled in some cases by hamas to stay there as human shields for the hamas people who are inside. it is a much smaller hospital than al—shifa hospital but it is exactly what the israelis want to do with all these hospitals and i think they will continue to keep up the military pressure on al—shifa hospital because that is the real prize for them, that is where they say hamas had a command and control centre where their bank is below, hamas had a significant presence, so at the moment they will try and persuade those people in the courtyard to leave, they will make life as difficult as they possibly can, we saw that night time bombardment nearby only hope that people ultimately decide it is much better to go than stay. fin people ultimately decide it is much better to go than stay.— better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical _ better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical pause _ better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical pause in _ better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical pause in the - there a tactical pause in the fighting at the moment to allow people to leave through this main road? , , ., , , ., road? yes, the israelis say they

israelis say they are continuing to do that and _ road? yes, the israelis say they are continuing to do that and today - road? yes, the israelis say they are | continuing to do that and today they talked about a pause that would allow people injabalia, north of gaza city, a short distance to move south, so that would involve, as far as i can make out, some kind of route through gaza city to the main road going south towards the southern gaza strip. i don't know exactly how it works, where that route is. clearly it is a very volatile situation. we hear amid all the sounds of bombardment, you also hit gun battles going on, so take keep those routes open must be quite challenging, but the overriding principle here is the israelis want a city devoid of civilians so they can concentrate their efforts on destroying hamas. there are still a lot of civilians left, the israelis say as many as 150, 170,000 may have left the last few days and that is certainly a big reduction on the number who were there at the start of the week, but it is still a lot of the week, but it is still a lot of civilians in the various parts of the city. figs of civilians in the various parts of the ci . �* , .,

red cross. as you are in jerusalem, can you give us a sense of how what is happening in gaza is being covered by the israeli media, what israelis are saying they're about what is happening in gaza? i think overwhelmingly israelis still supports what their army is doing. they are still in a state of shock over what happens more than a month ago in those communities bordering the gaza strip when hamas fighters broke out and those massacres were committed and most israelis believe that the only way to avoid that happening again is to go and destroy hamas. they are pretty much behind the military, support for the military and some of the recent polling has been extremely high. that is not the same as saying they support their government and the prime minister, both of those remain pretty unpopular, but i think israelis feel this is a job that has to be done. they are less perhaps concerned that the international community about the human cost because they think that this is something that simply has to be done regardless of how destructive the processes. regardless of how destructive the rocesses. . ~' regardless of how destructive the rocesses. ., ~ , ., arab and muslim leaders are gathered in saudi arabia to discuss the israel—gaza war. scheduled summits of the arab league and the organisation of islamic cooperation have been merged in response to the situation in gaza. in the last few minutes, palestinian president mahmoud abbas has said his people are facing a "genocidal war". 0ur security correspondent frank gardner is in riyadh and has more on what the summit can achieve. the one thing they can all agree on is they wanted to stop immediately. i don't think there is anyone in this lavish conference here in riyadh who is not calling for a ceasefire. where there are differences below the surface is what action if any should be taken. you have the iranian president on a big iranian delegation here, i saw him a short time ago, and it is unusual in itself for the president of iran to be here in saudi arabia, these are the two big heavyweights with totally different agendas in this region so i think they will have to go for the lowest common denominator in terms of what they can all agree on which is an end to the fighting, the condemnation of israel's actions and more humanitarian aid and ultimately an end to israeli occupation of palestinian territories. where they will disagree is whether any concrete action should be taken, because algeria two days ago during a meeting of foreign ministers post fair essentially and end to the abraham accords and wanted countries like the uae to sever their relations with israel. there has been pushed back on that, those countries don't want to do that, they want to keep channels open, even though they don't approve of what israel has been doing. iran has made it clear that it says this is not a time for words in gaza, it is a time for action and that is making people a bit nervous here, what do they mean by that? we have already seen the houthis firing missiles towards israel. there are others firing missiles and that is concerning the more conservative arab rulers here. beneath the surface they are not united but they will come up with a united stand. this man was an absolute riot in the arab world and was essentially kicked out of the arab league and has only been rehabilitated a few months ago but he is here, you have the turkish president who for a while was not on good terms with the saudi hosts here at all at the time of the jamal khashoggi murder a few years ago and you have leaders from all over the world, some african leaders as well. one of the things arab ministers have been saying to be privately, and i think this should make the west worried, they are saying they view western attitudes to this as being one of double standards, hypocrisy. why? because they said the west was very quick to condemn russia for its slaughter of civilians in ukraine, the terrible deaths there from missile attacks, and yet the numbers killed there are dwarfed by the numbers killed in gaza and they are saying western countries, particularly the united states, and the uk, have been muted at best when it comes to that. i just want to update comes to that. i 'ust want to update ou on comes to that. i 'ust want to update you on some — comes to that. i

of thousands are on the streets in central london marching in support of palestine but we have also seen some counter demonstrations as well and the met police has just said a large group of counter demonstrators are now being arrested, this is in a central london. so far they say around 50 people have been arrested at the white swan pub in london and say there are more counter demonstrations around that area and inside the pub as well is that there is a heavy police presents their and we hit around 50 people so far have been arrested. that is the latest in what is happening in the streets of london. if we cannot return to gaza and one of the key things that is happening at the moment is around the hospitals. —— if we cannot return to gaza. we can show you this tweet from the palestinian red crescent saying the... and to remind you, we have been very much focusing on al—shifa hospital and that is a facility we are hearing has now run out of water, food and crucially it has run out of electricity. so all those vital machines that are often used to keep people alive and in some cases babies, there are babies in the hospital we are hearing that are at risk and one has now died. live now to dr rebecca inglis, who is an intensive care doctor who has travelled to gaza every year to teach medical students about trauma management. thank you very much forjoining us. on what must be in incredibly difficult time for you as well watching this from afar. what do you imagine or know that those doctors are going through, particularly at al—shifa hospital? are going through,

the past few weeks we have been getting increasingly desperate updates and these are from colleagues that we know well, i go back as you say every year and these are people we know very well, very confident medics. they are telling us that what is currently happening is apparently beyond belief, beyond words. the updates we have been having in the past 48 hours from al—shifa hospital, which as you say is the main hospital dealing with huge numbers of people who are being injured in the current bombardment and things that have been happening there in the past 48 hours are really beyond belief. the there in the past 48 hours are really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing _ really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the _ really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the most - really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the most in - really beyond belief. the thing we | have been hearing the most in the last three hours is about the lack of electricity and i wonder if your aim in life as a doctor is to save lives, how difficult it must be to be a doctor at al—shifa hospital, standing over and integrator that does not have a literacy when there is a baby inside and it needs electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does _ electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does not — electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does not have _ electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does not have electricity. i electricity to stay alive. exactly. | -- it does not have electricity. it —— it does not have electricity. it is unthinkable to have the equipment at yourfingertips but is unthinkable to have the equipment at your fingertips but it is not working. they do not even have power to get the suction, so the suction to get the suction, so the suction to clear a newborn baby's airway, they cannot do anything. adults on ventilators, children on ventilators, children on ventilators, babies we have been hearing a lot about, all of them this amounts to a death sentence and thatis this amounts to a death sentence and that is something that would happen within minutes. so the ventilated patients in icu, once the back—up batteries for the ventilators run out, there will be no longer the machines they need to breeze. i cannot describe how that would feel to my fellow medical professionals and these are people who are dying of completely treatable problems and they will be feeling completely and utterly broken.— utterly broken. there will still be eo - le utterly broken. there will still be peeple arriving — utterly broken. there will still be people arriving at _ utterly broken. there will still be people arriving at these - utterly broken. there will still be | people arriving at these hospitals needing care at the moment. what resources do they actually have, what can they provide, if someone comes to their doors urgently he has just been in an attack of some sort or urgently needs medical care? indie or urgently needs medical care? we have or urgently needs medical care? - have heard at the moment all of the fighting going on around al—shifa hospital, and we are told it is encircled with snipers at the moment, it means people cannot actually access that hospital, that is the hospital you really need if you have had a severe injury. cannot get in or out at the moment, even to bury the dead as was mentioned earlier. we have had an update from another hospital nearby
