hello, i'm ben thompson. the israeli military says it has agreed to evacuate premature babies from gaza's main hospital al—shifa to a safer place on sunday. an idf spokeswoman was unable to say how the evacuation would be carried out and the head of surgery at al—shifa says no other hospital in gaza could accommodate the 37 infants at risk. this photo was sent to the bbc last night — showing more than 20 babies being kept in a surgical theatre — appearing to be need of oxygen treatment. alyona synenko says the situation in hospitals across gaza — including the south — is increasingly dire. hospitals overflowing with patience and thousands of displaced people who come there because they think they will be safer and hospitals running out of essentials. i speak without surgeons who are working in other european hospitals, they are running out of anaesthetic material and the blasts take place in the proximity of the hospital and when it happens the entire building shakes so it is difficult to imagine the evacuation, how it can take place, of babies, of people on life support, in intensive care. we are seeing horrendous images of people in fulcher is trying to cross from north gaza to the south and it's just a desperate situation and it's hard to watch.— hard to watch. israel maintains there is still _ hard to watch. israel maintains there is still a _ hard to watch. israel maintains there is still a safe _ hard to watch. israel maintains there is still a safe exit - hard to watch. israel maintains there is still a safe exit route l hard to watch. israel maintains. there is still a safe exit route for those who want to leave, to make the journey further south but what are your team is telling you about the situation on the ground? is it safe for them to leave and for those who can, granted there are many who cannot, but for those who can, are they able to make the journey? fiur they able to make the “ourney? our hotline they able to make the journey? oi" hotline operators are they able to make the journey? qij' hotline operators are receiving thousands and thousands of desperate calls from civilians across gaza who are trapped in the fighting, in the fire, and they said they cannot open their doors forfear of fire, and they said they cannot open their doors for fear of being shot. and we are constantly calling on respect for international humanitarian law because evacuation is not for the civilians decide to leave or stay, they are protected under international humanitarian law and the rules of law so if they decide to evacuate they must be offered an opportunity to do that safely. unfortunately, until today, what we are hearing from people on the hot lines, they do not have that opportunity and even those who stay behind, they are still protected under the international humanitarian law. ~ ., under the international humanitarian law. ., ., under the international humanitarian law. when we are looking at those imaaes law. when we are looking at those images every _ law. when we are looking at those images every day. _ law. when we are looking at those images every day, dire _ law. when we are looking at those images every day, dire images - images every day, dire images emerging from gaza and the one that most people will see this morning as those sent to the bbc last night, 20 babies, newborn babies, being kept in a surgical theatre. we are looking at that now. 0ut in a surgical theatre. we are looking at that now. out of all the images that have come to international attention about the dire state of medical facilities and humanitarian crisis that is unfolding again in gaza, this is the one that will be so harrowing for people to look at, the most innocent and vulnerable people in society being caught up in this horrible war. , , , j, war. yes, indeed. this is something that the international _ war. yes, indeed. this is something that the international humanitarian | that the international humanitarian law, the geneva conventions were conceived to prevent this type of situation. they were created specifically for this type of scenario, to ensure that all of us will preserve the medium of humanity and to me, this feels relentless fighting, we can protect the most vulnerable so this is why we have been calling incessantly on all parties to respect these obligations because if they do not we are just going to see more and more of these images that arejust going to see more and more of these images that are just unbearable to watch. i images that are 'ust unbearable to watch. . . r' images that are 'ust unbearable to watch. . ., ,~' , images that are 'ust unbearable to watch. . . w , , ., watch. i have asked this question many times _ watch. i have asked this question many times and _ watch. i have asked this question many times and it's _ watch. i have asked this question many times and it's very - watch. i have asked this question many times and it's very difficult| watch. i have asked this question| many times and it's very difficult i guess for you to prioritise what is most in need right now. given the images we have seen of the babies in need of oxygen it is electricity and oxygen to power generators but what are your teams telling you about what they need? we know that some aid is getting through but it is in no way enough but what is most pressing? no way enough but what is most -aressin ? ., , no way enough but what is most ”ressin? . pressing? the most basic medical su lies. pressing?

the most basic medical- supplies. when i speak with surgeons who are treating severe burns and also about half of the patients that they receive are children. they lack anaesthetic material is to treat these patients, which means they are going through horrendous pain and they lack electricity and sometimes they lack electricity and sometimes they have to face incredibly difficult human choices that honestly, i think none of us would want to have to make. when you have to choose one patient over the other because she had limited material, limited resources and limited supplies. so for us, the priority has been to urgently deliver more humanitarian supplies and we've been calling on an uninterrupted and continuous flow of humanitarian supplies into gaza but also for us as humanitarian workers, receiving all the terrified civilians, wounded people calling on us to evacuate them from all parts of gaza, which surpasses capacity and we do not have the basic safety conditions for all the teams to be in this area so it is an incredibly difficult conditions for our teams to be working on. that was the latest from the international committee on the red cross on the humanitarian situation in gaza. we were talking about the rate that has been reopened. about the rate that has been reoraened-— about the rate that has been reoened. �* ., , .,, ., reopened. allowing people to exit. this is the route _ reopened. allowing people to exit. this is the route that _ reopened. allowing people to exit. this is the route that takes - reopened. allowing people to exit. this is the route that takes people | this is the route that takes people from the north of the territory to the south, heeding warnings from the israeli authorities to move south for their own safety. this is a temporary pause in fighting between 10am and 2 pm local time. so that's until 12 noon gmt to allow people to make the journey. until 12 noon gmt to allow people to make thejourney. israel until 12 noon gmt to allow people to make the journey. israel defense forces making it clear they are not targeting a hospital, they say they are simply responding to attacks that have been launched by hamas adjacent to the hospital but particularly when we were talking about the babies in need of help, there are still big questions about how exactly they will be removed from the hospital and taken somewhat more safe. certainly some work that has the facilities to care for them, the director of surgery at the hospital saying there are few places that can care for 37 babies in need of medical attention but that is the scene right now on the road between north and south gas are allowing some people to take heed of the warnings to move south for their own safety in this temporary pause in fighting. the israeli defense minister has warned the lebanese armed movement hezbollah that what israel is doing in gaza, it can do in beirut. reports from lebanon on saturday said an israeli drone had struck a vehicle some 45 kilometres inside lebanese territory. israel's yoav gallant says hezbollah was close to making a grave mistake and could drag lebanon into war. translation: i say this to the citizens of lebanon. hezbollah is dragging lebanon into a war. hezbollah is making mistakes for which citizens of lebanon ultimately will pay the price. what we are doing in gaza now, we know how to do it in beirut as well. therefore, hezbollah should behave properly. nasrallah should not continue teasing us. this aggression is unacceptable. we are prepared for anything. hassan nasrallah gave a speech in which he said his group had the comments came after the leader of the hezbollah 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. let's ta ke let's take you to beirut broke and our correspondent is there. ssa ramping up of rhetoric or does it pose a real risk to the small opening up on an entirely new front? i think it was interesting to hear what the israeli defence minister had to say, some strong words, saying what the israeli military is doing in gaza it could do to beirut, saying that hezbollah is making mistakes and it could drag lebanon into this conflict and these comments came after a speech by the leader of hezbollah, the second time that he made a speech during this conflict. there was no major announcement, no major indication of any escalation being planned by hezbollah but he did say that the attacks had been carried out by the group targeting positions in northern israel and it will continue. he said these attacks are part of this campaign by hezbollah to support hamas in gaza. he said the border between lebanon, israel, is a support front and he said the group had stepped up its attacks against israel by launching explosive drones, also a more powerful type of missile and that the group was also targeting positions deeper inside israel. and ben, four weeks we have been talking about those stations along the border. i've been to those villages along the border, many residents have left because there is real fear here that the violence could escalate and lebanon could be dragged into this conflict. i think over the last few weeks we have seen the attacks intensifying, happening almost daily but so far, those attacks have been contained to those villages and those areas along the border but i think there is a real fear here that these attacks could escalate and again, lebanon could be dragged into another war. lots of people here in beirut but also in the south of the country still remember the devastation brought by the war in 2006 between hezbollah and israel and i think lots of people here fear that history might be repeating itself. the people here fear that history might be repeating itself.— people here fear that history might be repeating itself. the reason this will be looked _ be repeating itself. the reason this will be looked at _ be repeating itself. the reason this will be looked at so _ be repeating itself. the reason this will be looked at so closely - be repeating itself. the reason this will be looked at so closely is - be repeating itself. the reason this will be looked at so closely is it's . will be looked at so closely is it's the second speech as you touched on that be had from the leader of hezbollah. and also new types of weapons being able to strike new targets inside israel but we also know a lot of what we hear comes from links with iran and perhaps hezbollah will not make a move unless iran gives it the green light? it's about those regional power players that will cause so much concern? i power players that will cause so much concern?— power players that will cause so much concern? i think it was really interesting — much concern? i think it was really interesting yesterday _ much concern? i think it was really interesting yesterday when - much concern? i think it was really interesting yesterday when the - interesting yesterday when the leader of hezbollah made that speech, he talked about the attacks that have been happening across the region, not only along the border with israel, the lebanese border with israel, the lebanese border with israel, the lebanese border with israel but also in yemen for the rebels have been launching drones and missiles and the attacks law despite militia in other countries and the common player here is iran. although scripts are part of the so—called axis of resistance which is an alliance of forces across the region. the leader of hezbollah has spoken about iran and how it has given military and financial support but it said iran is not the one making those decisions, in other words he said those groups are acting unilaterally but it is very interesting that tensions have been high not only on the lebanon israel border but also across the region and obviously there is the fear that this conflict in gaza continues, that this could become a much wider conflict. here ou no, become a much wider conflict. here you go. always _ become a much wider conflict. here you go. always good _ become a much wider conflict. here you go, always good to _ become a much wider conflict. here you go, always good to talk to you and thank you for that update. king charles will lead the national service of remembrance at the cenotaph in central london shortly. that is set to get underway in the next 15 minutes or so. the service honours the contribution of military and civilian servicemen and women in world wars i and ii, and other conflicts. it comes as prime minister rishi sunak condemned what he called "violent, wholly unacceptable scenes" by right—wing activists in central london yesterday, as well as "hamas sympathisers". he added that the "despicable actions of a minority of people undermine those who have chosen to express their views peacefully". about 300,000 pro—palestinian protesters marched to call for a ceasefire, in demonstrations which coincided with armistice day. police have said counter—protesters, the right—wing activists, made up the "vast majority" of the 126 arrests. here's more from helena wilkinson. a somber, poignant day ahead. a day to remember all those who died in conflict. the cenotaph in london will be the focus of commemorations. from the war memorial, the king will lead the nation in a two—minute silence at 11am. last night, the king and queen were at the royal albert hall. they attended the annual royal british legion's festival of remembrance. at the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. last post plays. yesterday, the nation observed armistice day with a two—minute silence on the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month, marking the end of the first world war. big ben strikes the hour. what do we want?
