And the most powerful solar storm in 21 years triggers spectacular celestial light shows in many parts of the world. Hello and welcome to bbc news. We start this with the order by the Israeli Military for more residents in the city of rafah in the Southern Gaza strip to leave neighbourhoods in the east. The israelis have declared a narrow coastal strip at al mawasi to be a safe humanitarian zone but the un says it has no Running Water or proper sanitation. Says it has no Running Water or propersanitation. Israel says it has no Running Water or proper sanitation. Israel is planning an assault on Hamas Fighters In Rafah and has ordered Tens Of Thousands more residents from eastern districts of the city to leave. Evacuation orders have also been issued for thousands of people in parts of northern gaza. Last night, a long awaited Us Government report criticised israel� s use of american supplied weapons in the gaza war saying it is reasonable to assess they have been used in breach of International Humanitarian law in some instances. This report from middle east correspondent. Now a ghost town. Parts of rafah that were crammed full of people just days ago are rapidly emptying out. Palestinians fleeing in their thousands as israel signals it is now set to push in further from the east, issuing new Evacuation Orders. There is no choice, we have to go to the coast like everyone else, ahmad says. Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling have caused panic and palestinian casualties. Israel says it is taking action against hamas, once of its last strongholds, here, attacking a launch site for rockets fired at an israeli city. But with israel� s capture of one main Border Crossing and another blocked off by fighting, this is the fifth day with no aid getting into Southern Gaza. There are severe shortages of food, clean water and fuel, deepening the humanitarian crisis. So far, israel� s military is describing its offensive in rafah as limited, but the world is watching to see if this turns into the full scale invasion that the country� s allies have warned against. And as israeli tanks and troops await orders near the gaza border, there has been another strong statement from washington. It says that with some of its strikes on gaza such as this attack on a residential building late last year, reportedly killing over 100 people, many of them children, israel may have used American Supplied Weapons In Breach of international law. Israel has consistently denied any violations. And yet, the new report may yet have an impact on plans back here in rafah where there is already a growing sense of emergency.
