designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government — had reached a "dead end". israel's military has intensified its bombardment of gaza since a temporary ceasefire expired yesterday, with air strikes in northwestern gaza, and khan younis in the south, where hundreds of thousands of people fled earlier in the war to escape fighting. according to the hamas—run health ministry, 193 people have been killed and 650 injured since the resumption of fighting. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday. humanitarian groups are warning of catastrophic consequences for civilians. the international federation of the red cross says aid workers won't be able to reach people in need if the air strikes continue. this is the scene live in tel aviv, where hundreds of families, friends and supporters of the israeli hostages held by hamas in gally are holding a rally in what has become known as hostages plaza. —— in gaza. they are once again calling on the israeli government to secure the release of the hostages. earlier, we heard from the free hostages talking about how grateful they are for these people in their support and their rallying in this square during the time that they were held by hamas. and also the need to bring back the remaining hostages in gaza. in the last hour, the israeli prime minister said the continuation of the offensive was inevitable. translation: the day before yesterday, _ inevitable. translation: the day before yesterday, we _ inevitable. translation: the day before yesterday, we set - before yesterday, we set unfortunately, we will have to continue that fight with tremendous force. we have already hit out 400 hamas terror targets, and we have killed those terrorists in the north and of course, wherever it is needed to be done. and one of our soldiers who are revisited in the gaza strip, he asked me, "will you continue, will you renew the fighting after that agreement?" i said unequivocally, yes. so i want that to be very clear cut to everyone and i'm saying so in a very unequivocal manner — we will continue doing so until we achieve all its objectives. one cannot achieve those objectives without continuing on the ground without continuing on the ground with that manoeuvre, and that was crucial. it was critical in order to bring the results, and not continues to be. it's that crucial for the continuation. i would like to say my friends the world, you are partners in those objectives, our objectives, to eliminate hamas and release all or hostages. i'm going to repeat that — we cannot achieve those objectives without winning and we cannot win without continuing that ground manoeuvre. the idf and the security forces are doing so with the termination, with clout and power in the framework of the international law.— power in the framework of the international law. prime minister ben'amin international law. prime minister benjamin netanyahu _ international law. prime minister benjamin netanyahu there. - international law. prime minister benjamin netanyahu there. he i international law. prime ministerj benjamin netanyahu there. he is still at that podium taking questions from journalists. he gave that speech at a press conference in the last hour. here he is still there taking questions from journalists, who have asked about the invasion, how it's going, how it is managing to deal with international players. we can dip into it right now. translation: just into it right now. translation: 'ust act into it right now. translation: jigii act according to the truth. the facts. i said just a moment ago, i said to you, i don't understand, but you're still asking about it. are you're still asking about it. are you trying to tell me i didn't answer you?

our children are stranded on the streets. israel says military pressure on hamas helps free hostages. 110 women and children were released before the truce broke down. this man's sister—in—law jarden made it out. his sister carmel is still being held by hamas. we hoped that we would be like one, two or more days of releases. she's the last one and one of the last from all the abducted people. she's doing ok? i know she's held alive in gaza. we saw her best friend get rescued. really, today was my worst day. 20 women are still listed as hostages in gaza. one of them is jarden's sister romi, kidnapped from the nova music festival. the negotiation and the releases and everything gave me hope . that i will win the - lottery the next time. ijust know that my sister is - waiting and she saw the other ones get released and she knew that she's she could be the next one. _ get released and she knew- that she could be the next one. tonight, jarden and others willjoin other hostage families for a rally in support of those still held in gaza. some fear that military goals might now take priority. israel has said bombing and bargaining can take place together — something forfamilies here to cling to. lucy williamson, bbc news, tel aviv. return to gaza. israel has stepped up return to gaza. israel has stepped up its bombing with blocks of flats in the southern city of khan yunis. earlier, i spoke with you james elderfor an update on earlier, i spoke with you james elder for an update on the situation.— elder for an update on the situation. �* , , , �* , situation. it's very intense. it's auoin all situation. it's very intense. it's going all night- _ situation. it's very intense. it's going all night. hundreds - situation. it's very intense. it's going all night. hundreds of i going all night. hundreds of hundreds of rounds. i'm not a military expert. you could feel the difference in bombs. bombs forcibly push people, depending on how close you were, the hospital was stopped —— hospitals were saturated. blood in the corridors and mothers holding babies who look like they've been killed. again, children with limbs missing and amputated. it's a war zone. there is already 1,000 children who have suffered imputation. despite what we heard about it not having the same ferocity of attacks where civilians are everywhere, it's absolutely what's being happening. i don't think there was a ten minute period where people didn't endure that. i have a bed. there are people here who don't have a bed and there is no protection. nowhere is safe. this more on children has resumed. we are talkin: more on children has resumed. we are talking about — more on children has resumed. we are talking about aid _ more on children has resumed. we are talking about aid and _ more on children has resumed. we are talking about aid and we _ more on children has resumed. we are talking about aid and we heard - talking about aid and we heard reports about 50 trucks of aid have crossed through rafah into gaza. how much of help is that in terms of... clearly there is a huge scale of devastation for what you are saying. is 50 trucks sufficient enough? it’s is 50 trucks sufficient enough? it's not. prior is 50 trucks sufficient enough? it�*s not. priorto is 50 trucks sufficient enough? it�*s not. prior to the horrors of october the 7th, 500 trucks were coming to the 7th, 500 trucks were coming to the gaza strip. it's been none. 50 is still triage. everything right now is kind of triage, trying to... it does not allow for meaningful humanitarian response, so the notion that now the mass of disease outbreak... middle—class families of lost homes and family members killed, many of them moved... it's quite relentless bombardment. move twice, three times, and three or four leaders of war came on. sanitation systems are broken down. there's no fuel for them and of many of the workers are dead or displaced. this is a nightmare and the bombardments continue with some severity. the bombardments continue with some severi ., ., , the bombardments continue with some severi , �* the bombardments continue with some severi , ., severity. james, if you're safe to continue to _ severity. james, if you're safe to continue to interview, _ severity. james, if you're safe to continue to interview, please - severity. james, if you're safe to continue to interview, please do | severity. james, if you're safe to i continue to interview, please do so. if you need to go at any point, please let us know. that's very important to us. just a question on those trucks. i said 50 but it's around 200, actually. as you say, the scale seems quite uncertain in terms of the needs of people there. in terms of where people can go for shelter, hospitals seem to have been the destination pre—truce. what's going on now? what's happens to people when they have to escape elsewhere? it’s people when they have to escape elsewhere?— people when they have to escape elsewhere? �* , . ., , ., elsewhere? it's a great question. i think it's such _ elsewhere? it's a great question. i think it's such a _ elsewhere? it's a great question. i think it's such a critical— elsewhere? it's a great question. i think it's such a critical thing - think it's such a critical thing right now. our concern is a narrative of a full sense of safety, people can go to a designated place and be safe. it's simply not the case. there is one area that is heavily talked of. it's a strip of 14 km. it's 4% of gaza city. it would be people in a car park. it's not possible. there is know are safe to go. children seeking refuge in a hospital, saying there was a bombardment within 100 metres. we know hospitals have been hit multiple times. the tens of thousand people sleeping with only a blanket, they are actually not say. hundreds of artillery rounds last night. i know i'm not safe. this is not ukraine. there is nowhere to go. 100 of my colleagues have been killed. the large numbers of colleagues or workers in the history of the united nations. in this war is seven weeks old. it's very dangerous, this narrative that people can go somewhere. the only way people can be safe from the bombs at least is for the attacks to stop. then we have to address this humanitarian crisis of food, water and medicine. in terms of the situation with zones, these areas that are now designated as unsafe zones, how helpful has not been? that's what israel is saying. they're going to designate areas as unsafe to alert people that these aren't areas they should be in because those are areas that are targets.— that are targets. yes, and i'm told some of those _ that are targets. yes, and i'm told some of those warnings, - that are targets. yes, and i'm told some of those warnings, as - that are targets. yes, and i'm told some of those warnings, as an - that are targets. yes, and i'm told l some of those warnings, as an sms ten minutes before. almost illogical, almost cynical. some of the leaflets that have come about which safe zones to go have a qr code. that will be for somebody who has been able to power their phone in a place where there's no electricity apart from generators. certainly where there's no access to 4g or 5g and wi—fi at all. these are the same people who are in a safe place in the north and a un shelter that was bombed, and they come here and were told to go somewhere else. it's not real and it's very unsettling that people are taking route with this idea. you see on the street, the anxiety, the look of a child when their mother was crying, my mum doesn't know where she's going, now that she was lost, but she was entranced. she's run out of places to go. they're trying to set “p places to go. they're trying to set up their home on a sidewalk. there is nowhere to go in this idea of this place being safe, it's proven to be false. it's a legal way for children when they hear it was a safe place. i5 children when they hear it was a safe place-— safe place. is a bit of where you are riaht safe place. is a bit of where you are right now? _ safe place. is a bit of where you are right now? i— safe place. is a bit of where you are right now? i man-mac two, | safe place. is a bit of where you i are right now? i man-mac two, so safe place. is a bit of where you - are right now?
