hospital, al shifa, where conditions have become desperate while fighting continues outside. a spokesman said the infants would be moved to a safer hospital on sunday. and overnight, the world health organisation has warned that it has lost communication with the hospital in gaza city. a surgeon there previously told the bbc the hospital had run out of water, food and electricity and that the intensive care unit had been struck. meanwhile, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has reiterated that the war in gaza will continue until hamas is destroyed and all the hostages it's holding are free. the bbc�*s lucy williamson reports from southern israel, and a warning some of these images may be distressing. gaza's main hospital is now the eye of this military storm. staff here say they've been under constant fire for the past 2a hours. the dead trapped here, along with the living. we would like to bury their bodies. we tried yesterday to make a big grave in shifa hospital, mass grave, but the israelis attacked all the caterpillar who arrived to shifa hospital. we don't want to have any outbreaks due to these dead bodies who are outside the main refrigerator. one doctor there said patients were so frightened, some left with serious injuries untreated. the hospital lost power yesterday. doctors without borders has accused the israeli military of signing the death warrant of civilians trapped in al—shifa. elsewhere, doctors report carrying out surgery by the light of mobile phones. they say the lack of electricity is threatening the lives of newborn babies and those in intensive care. some, they say, have already died. israel says its ground offensive has so far captured ii hamas bases. israel says its enemy hides behind hospitals like al—shifa, but that it's not targeting the complex or civilians. tonight, israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the operation was achieving its objectives. translation: idf forces have completed the encirclement i of gaza city. they are operating in the heart of the city, they are on the outskirts of shifa hospital. they eliminated thousands of terrorists, including senior commanders and many murderers who were among those who led this terrible massacre on the cursed saturday, october 7th. a few miles from gaza, soldiers reconnect with parents who themselves fought here in similar wars. some of the soldiers gathering for a weekend break here lost friends and comrades in the hamas attack. they are now under growing pressure from israel's public and politicians to finish their mission. israel's leaders are facing questions over the plan for gaza once the military operation ends. this family has sent three generations to fight in israel's army. the shabbat family picnic snatched on the roadside has become a tradition of its own. the father, yaron, said israelis didn't want to fight but that they and their neighbours were like fire and water. the talk here in israel is often a call for peace backlit by the sounds of war. lucy williamson, bbc news, southern israel. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams has more on israel's strategy. these israelis argue these are places where hamas fighters have based themselves and consequently there are intense battles going on around those hospitals. these really say they are not targeting hospitals per se and they are trying to get these civilian populations at are clustered around them to try to leave. also starting to think about evacuating the hospitals themselves so that israel can concentrate on dealing with hamas. there is a small development on that front. the israelis said they will evacuate babies from al—shifa hospital to a safer location. we have had no extra details or confirmation from the palestinian side, very difficult to get through to any of these hospitals at the moment but this suggested that the israelis recognise as they are camped out on the perimeter of some of these hospitals, the situation is becoming untenable inside. they need to address the very, very real humanitarian needs of the patients inside those hospitals. before there is any prospect of dealing with hamas and any infrastructure they may or may not have inside. for more on the situation on the ground for hospitals in gaza, the bbc spoke to tommaso della longa, spokesperson at the international federations of red cross and red crescent societies. the situation i would say is desperate. we have been saying this in the last weeks that without proper humanitarian aid and a safe space to operate, without fuel for the hospital and without a steve —— safety for the civilians, and the healthcare workers, this would be the result, and it is exactly what is happening now in these hours. we have a military system that has collapsed, you would say. there are mainly hospitals in the north of gaza that are not any working or barely working and i can tell you that in a hospital, now the electricity is almost running out and just a bit of fuel is being used for infants and infants in the intensive care unit but of course this is not a fully functional hospital and this will not last for long so the situation is really catastrophic. the reality is there is no safe place in gaza and this is unfortunately not new in the last weeks and in particular, these days in gaza are even worse. what we are seeing is heavy shelling, then heavy fighting on the hospitals and i want to remind everyone that hospitals must be protected every time, and what we are seeing now, what our palestinian red crescent colleagues are telling us from the city, is there is no way out and this is the sixth day in the row where they are cut off from everything and everyone and again, without humanitarian aid and supplies, without fuel, they would not be able to carry on their life—saving activities. what i want to underline here is hospitals must be considered centuries and no doctor, no patient, no nurse, should risk to die in a bombardment, so it is illegal and a moral obligation to protect hospitals and not to use hospitals for any military purpose. that was tommaso della longa, from the international federations of red cross and red crescent societies. and, as a reminder, israel for its part says it is acting within international law, and maintains that hamas fighters hide in tunnels under hospitals, making the israeli defence minister has warned the lebanese armed movement hezbollah that what israel is doing in gaza it can do in beirut. it comes as the leader of hezbollah gave a speech in which he said his group had used new types of weapons and struck new targets in israel in recent days. hezbollah is, like hamas, listed as a terrorist organisation by many governments including the us and uk. here is the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu's, warning to the group. translation: the war against hamas, isis, i is going full force and it has one objective — to win. there is nothing other than a victory. we will eradicate hamas and we will bring back our hostages. we're also prepared on the northern front and we're working there very strongly from the air and on the ground. and i warn hezbollah, do not make that mistake and start a war, because it'll be the mistake of your lives. the moment you start a war, this will decide on the destiny of lebanon. we're working and fighting on additionalfronts against terror, against the proxy, against its terrorists in syria, the red sea, lebanon — wherever needed. let's get some of the day's other news now.

scientists say a major volcanic eruption could occur at any moment. a coastal town has been evacuated and hundreds are now facing the night in temporary accommodation. cracks have appeared in roads and buildings after thousands of minor earthquakes in recent weeks, sparking fears an eruption could be imminent. the bbc�*s david waddell reports. leaving no—one behind. the community of grindavik has been whisked from their homes as an existential threat lurks beneath underground. just a few thousand lived here. the wider area to the southwest of the peninsular is the most popular spot of iceland. it includes the capital, about a0 kilometres away because it still is the volcano. scientists say a magma corridor flows between amount and the town of grindavik lies on the route. in recent days, the tremors have worried the towns administrators. here is the town mayor of grindavik. and earth tremor disturbs the interview, even while he is addressing the threat to the town. the icelandic

so it is kind of a crisis situation. meanwhile, it is a waiting game for the residents. volcanic activity is a feature of iceland, one of the most active regions in the world, with about 30 active volcano sites. the nearby blue lagoon, a popular tourist landmark has been closed, but for the people of grindavik, much more is at stake than the tourist adventure. david waddell, bbc news. iceland has seen a number of volcanic eruptions in recent years. the bbc spoke to national history cinematographer, benjamin hardman, who has been documenting them. i'm currently located in reykjavik, but it is the town of grindavik, about 30 minutes from here, it has been fully evacuated, due to a magma tunnel, about 15 kilometres long, form directly below the town and for north and slightly out to see another magma is about 800 metres depth. if we look at the last three eruption since 2021, we are calling them tourist eruptions because they erupted in areas that are relatively safe and of course there are many dangers within eruption but they were the safest of anyone. this time a different story. the whole town has been evacuated as a precaution because we really do not know what will become of this and based on the scientific planning, but i am not a scientist, but this looks to be a very powerful eruption brewing and we are unsure exactly when and where it will p0p up exactly when and where it will pop up but it could pop up right beneath the town or out to sea, which could be a very serious situation and not something we are excited to document, unlike previous years, but something which needs to be taken with extreme caution. i think we have a lot of experience now since 2021, managing both the communities, the tourists that come to see it, and generally anything that comes up. we have an amazing search—and—rescue team on the ground working with the police to keep people safe and all of those teams have been actioned as of yesterday to help evacuate the town and we have some of the most, the best train people on the planet who are willing to be out there on the ground, helping people to be safe and protecting our communities from the danger that comes from these eruptions and i'm just so grateful for their help to keep everyone safe. leading scientists have told the bbc they're facing increasing levels of abuse from people who think they're underplaying how serious climate change is. they say it's a new trend. the experts say misinformation on social media is fuelling the problem. let's speak to daniel kammen. he's a lead author for the intergovernmental panel on climate change and he was a science envoy under the obama administration. thank you very much forjoining us, daniel. this is interesting because it's a new trend or appears to be because historically we always thought of climate experts to be getting abuse about perhaps even overplaying the issue and the threat of climate change? yes i think that's right but as an author of the ipcc i have been consistently saying that the experts in each area, whether it is sealevel rise or changes in ocean acidification orforest, are the most worried. so the tone of worry has been there but you're right, now the table seem to be a little bit flipped. have you had any personal experience of this kind of abuse? h0. had any personal experience of this kind of abuse?— this kind of abuse? no, i have not. although _ this kind of abuse? no, i have not. although i— this kind of abuse? no, i have not. although i am _ this kind of abuse? no, i have not. although i am an - this kind of abuse? no, i have not. although i am an editor | this kind of abuse? no, i have| not. although i am an editor of a journal published in the uk and through that i get the occasional lawsuit, the occasional lawsuit, the occasional climate to denier trying to play out that there is too much climate science going on in thesejournals but no personal attacks on me. if anything i'm starting to get comments now that, why didn't you warn a earlier? i look back and chuckle because that's what we have been doing for the last 2- we have been doing for the last 2— three decades. we have been doing for the last 2- three decades.— 2- three decades. what has triggered — 2- three decades. what has triggered this? _ 2- three decades. what has triggered this? what - 2- three decades. what has triggered this? what has i triggered this? what has happened in the last few months that has triggered this new trend, do you think? eom and ko don't think it's a single event but certainly the fact that we are seeing fires in australia, in california, in greece, in siberia, changes of fishing stocks, changes in seasons — it does feel to a degree like even the climate deniers are recognised that their current battle is not going to be about is that climate change but moving onto something else, like you did not want us enough. but is it you people argue, scientists that have been or a range of experts, our government has targeted for example?— government has targeted for examle? . , ,. , , example? certainly, scientists are targeted. _ example? certainly, scientists are targeted, government i example? certainly, scientists| are targeted, government too. here in new york state, can you, and a number of places where elective leaders say we need to be proactive on climate. we certainly see attacks on them as part of this pushback that unfortunately climate change is being seen as a politicised issue, not as what i think it should be and thatis what i think it should be and that is a great challenge and wonder where we could all pull together all our skills, all our efforts to make it a just transition, might be betterfor all of us. but that message seems to so far have been lost. but climate misinformation is a challenge for people in your field as it isn't lots of different industry. tell us about that? , that is a really hard—won because it does not take much more than individual tweet saying that climate change is not real, it is to time as there changes in the son of something else. i'm always drawn back to the same cartoon we see whole raft of scientists working on a project in one person say, well, i think i can prove you wrong by five minutes on the internet. that does come up again and again and always has. if you're looking to deny something it does not take much in today's social media dance world to find an excuse not to believe. how do you counter that challenge then? i how do you counter that challenge then?- how do you counter that challenge then? how do you counter that challenae then? . �* , ., ., challenge then? i that's a long rocess. challenge then? i that's a long process. certainly _ challenge then? i that's a long process. certainly between i process. certainly between building trust, between the left on the right in many countries, especially my own, is challenging. i think the only recourse is to be honest and truthful about what we're seeing. that is what the scientific process is about. it just seems to bad that science itself is under attack. it is notjust itself is under attack. it is not just today — itself is under attack. it is notjust today — carl sagan highlighted it, science fiction writers highlighted at. we have to make big important choices to make big important choices to invest in clean energy economy and those really require everyone to be on and right now that is not the case. do you get the case that the kind of extent of the threat of climate change is there in the media, in terms of information on social media and also mainstream media? fix, on social media and also mainstream media? a great auestion mainstream media? a great question because _ mainstream media? a great question because on - mainstream media? a great question because on the i question because on the 1—handed we want to be clear about what's going on and the more you say how dire things are, the more we know from psychology that people tend to tune out and if the only message is, it's dire, people tend not to act so finding a balance between highlighting how bad things are, by watching movies like chasing coral or chasing ice or don't look up, these are all a great way to get people aware of what the problem is but solution signs, i think i do and that is to understand how investing in social, gender, racialjustice as well as clean energy bring solutions for us all. that i think is where we need to go but that is a lot less sexy, thatis but that is a lot less sexy, that is a lot less media friendly than just simply saying we have had another disaster and is it due to climate change or som
