As israel holds commemorations marking the October 7th attacks, we ll be reporting on how so many lives were changed and how the reverberations have spread right across the Middle East as israel waged War On Hamas In Gaza and now in lebanon against hezbollah. Panoramas Jane Corbin has been following two families affected from this conflict. One in israel, and one in gaza. Both living in the aftermath of the attacks, and the war that followed. A year ago, Doron Katz Asher and her two daughters, raz and aviv, were staying at her Mothers House in niroz kibbutz. They were all taken hostage by hamas. Doron kept a diary while she was held in gaza. She wrote to her husband, yoni, about how much they were missing him. The moment the family was taken hostage was filmed by hamas and seen by yoni. Saw my wife, some of the hamas men puts a cover on her head. I saw my girl raz, purple dress, long golden hair. As they were taken into gaza, an israeli helicopter was firing above them. Doron� s mother was killed. What do you think when you hear that . They were shot by their own side. Its hard to discover that at The Moment Of Truth and such horrifying moment, the danger was from the idf helicopter. We need to tell ourselves the truth. And the truth is that in that day, all bets were off. It was chaos. Yeah, it was a chaos and all bets were off. After 50 days in captivity, she and her children were released and returned to israel. Every day i look at them and i know that its a miracle that they are here. The un estimates that at least 14 people were killed in Friendly Fire on October The 7th. In gaza too, life changed completely on that day. When this war started, her age was 11 months. Shes turning two years very soon. On October The 7th, shuruq was living in Gaza City with her husband Roshdi Sarraj as they came under israeli bombardment. Roshdi, a film maker, started documenting life under siege. Its very close. Its unbelievable. Theyjust attack again and again, over and over. Huge Air Strike around the whole area now. The next morning, an israeli strike hit the building. Roshdi was killed. Shes really young to comprehend, what does it mean to lose a dear father . He would be always my best friend. Since then, shuruq has moved four times. Shes now living in a camp in central gaza. There is no light by The End of this deep tunnel. They destroyed the buildings and also the near future of the gazan people. And you can see more on panorama at 9 00pm, Bbc OneOctober 7th one year on. As the events of October 7th unfolded, all eyes turned to gaza. Many wondered what form an israeli retaliation would take, and whether further attacks were planned. Our Gaza Correspondent Rushdi abualouf was on the ground in gaza that morning, and he spoke to Bbc News in those first few hours of what has now become a year long conflict. Heres a clip from that morning. While we speak still the firing of rockets, i can hear it in the background. Of rockets, i can hear it in the background. Rockets have been fired the background. Rockets have been fired. There the background. Rockets have been fired. There is the background. Rockets have been fired. There is some been fired. There is some conflicting reports about also some Ground Troops from hamas crossed the border into israel and they are engaged in fighting, thats still not confirmed. What has been confirmed. What has been confirmed by hamas so far is the firing of the rockets. And Rushdi Abualouf is with me in the studio now. We both remember that day is so well. You are now here in london and yourfamily are safe you are now here in london and your family are safe in turkey. What about people in gaza . It was awful, something you cant forget at all. That day started with me trying to take my kids to school and suddenly thousands of rockets were flying overhead, everywhere, and explosions. For about two hours there was a lot of conflicting reports, videos that you cant verify. It was not clear exactly what had been, but very quickly re realised that this was something that was going to take a huge revenge by the israelis because the Hamas Attack was massive, and its something we have never, ever seen before. I have been covering this conflict for the past 25 years and this is the first time i saw something like that. And there revenge was really expected. I mean, not on this scale, but 40,000 people were killed and about 10,000 people are missing. Over two thirds of the population are displaced from the north into the south. They live in very difficult conditions, in tent poll, and in a small place that israel has called a Safe Zone but they have hit many times and they have killed many people in this so called Safe Zone.

The new Evacuation Order to a very large area in the north, and quite recently, in the last half an hour. There are people also in the east, khan younis, they were receiving another warning because we believe hamas fired rockets to mark the anniversary today. The israelis hit back the places where hamas have fired their rockets and issued an evacuation. Have fired their rockets and issued an evacuation. What is a reaction from issued an evacuation. What is a reaction from people issued an evacuation. What is a reaction from people when issued an evacuation. What is a | reaction from people when they get an Evacuation Order . I myself have been twice, three, four times evacuated following the Evacuation Order. Its like you have ten minutesjust the Evacuation Order. Its like you have ten minutes just to pack up your stuff and go to nowhere. You dont have the chance to get as much as you can of your stuff, and you dont know whether the area you are evacuating to is safe enough for you and your family, whether you will find food, shelter, a tent. I have been speaking to people who have been displaced recently from a Refugee Camp and they ended up in hospital. Three of them are blind women who dont know what to do, they dont have a bathroom to go to, they dont have enough food. This is the Displacement Life in gaza. Can we take a Displacement Life in gaza. Can we take a moment Displacement Life in gaza. Can we take a moment to talk about the journalists and your colleagues who are still operating in gaza. Reporters without borders have sent around have said around 130 journalists have been killed. Who is managing to work there and who is working there because international organisations like the bbc are not allowed in gaza. Organisations like the bbc are not allowed in gaza. Because of brave journalists not allowed in gaza. Because of brave journalists who not allowed in gaza. Because of brave journalists who are not allowed in gaza. Because of brave journalists who are still. Brave journalists who are still operating in a very risky situations, risking their lives, the lives of their families, we are getting pictures out of gaza. Unfortunately Israel And Egypt are not allowing foreign journalists to go in but we have a few brave palestinian journalists who are committed to the story and who are doing everything they can to report the story, but we have to remind you that the number of journalists killed, arrested and injured in this war, i think its the biggest number we have seen in any conflict before. One small report i saw a couple of days ago, the number of palestinian journalists killed since 1967 was 102. And over 100 have now been killed in one year. So you can imagine how much the suffering ofjournalists, the medics and also firefighters and teachers, hundreds of them have been killed in this war. Rushdi abualouf, thank you for joining us. And one young journalist who has millions of followers on social media, she has won an Emmy Award and she will bejoining us later to speak about her experiences during the war. Western leaders have been marking Todays Anniversary with a reiteration of their support for israel. President biden has released the following statement. During this year of conflict, and Tens Of Thousands have been killed, a Human Toll made far worse by terrorists hiding and operating among innocent people. We will not stop working to achieve a Ceasefire Deal in gaza that brings the hostages home, allows for a surge in humanitarian aid to ease the suffering on the ground, assures israels security, and ends this war. And this statement is from british prime Minister Keir Starmer, who said one year on from these horrific attacks we must unequivocally stand with Thejewish Community and unite as a country. He added that we must never look the other way in the face of hate. He also called for a ceasefire in gaza and lebanon, and for a free flow of aid into gaza. European Commission PresidentUrsula Von Der Leyen said that the European Union stands with all the innocent people whose lives have been shattered to the core since that fateful day. She reiterated her call for a ceasefire in gaza and the unconditional release of the israelis still being held captive by hamas in gaza. At londons United Synagogue a ceremony has been held to commemorate the victims of the attack one year ago today. Foreign Secretary David Lammy attended. Our correspondent is there now. Catherine byaruhanga is in south tottenham. The mood is sombre in north london. When the foreign secretary was here this morning he came to say that he came to share in the great pain so many people in Israel And Thejewish diaspora are feeling at the moment. We also heard from some Community Leaders here who are talking about coming together as a community, they are reeling from the shock of the attacks of October The 7th. Over this weekend we have seen a fence commemorating what has been happening over the past year. There was a massive rally in Hyde Park in the centre of london when more than 20,000 people attended that event. We had people who had been affected by the attacks, a lady who had been taken hostage by hamas, and we also had a soldier who had served as a reservist in the war in gaza. One of the standout speeches was by mandy, the mother of 28 year old emily damari, who was taken hostage by hamas. Mandy pressed on the british government to do more to release her daughter. That was the message for the foreign secretary, how do you ensure the War Ends and those israeli hostages are brought back safely . Another concern for the community here across london is anti semitic attacks that have been carried out against the Jewish Community. One major charity said the number of anti semitic attacks has trebled in the past 12 months. They are calling on the government to do more about that. We have also seen a rise in islamophobic attacks. Today the mayor of London Sadiq Khan was speaking, saying whichever side you stand with in this conflict it is important to remember that this is an intolerable Human Tragedy thats and that he is trying to pull communities together here in london. The message to botica leaders in the community and in the country is that there needs to be a ceasefire in gaza and in lebanon. This afternoon we will hear from prime Minister Keir Starmer in the House Of Commons as he delivers a speech on this sombre occasion. Delivers a speech on this sombre occasion. Thank you so much. Sombre occasion. Thank you so much we sombre occasion. Thank you so much we can sombre occasion. Thank you so much. We can see sombre occasion. Thank you so much. We can see live sombre occasion. Thank you so much. We can see live picturesj much. We can see live pictures coming to us from tyre in southern lebanon. The news from the south of the country is that the Health Ministry of lebanon has said several firefighters have been killed in an israeli strike. They have retrieved the bodies of eight people so far from a building, a municipal building there, severely damaged. They do not yet know the identities of those people. As this is going on, hezbollah has also been Firing Rockets into israel to stop these images coming to us from the city of tyre in southern lebanon. Around the world and across the uk, this is Bbc News. Florida is preparing its largest evacuation in seven years as the us braces for the arrival of Hurricane Milton. The storm is forecast to make landfall on wednesday, hitting the Tampa Bay Area before making its way across to orlando. Its been just under two weeks since another devastating storm, Hurricane Helene, hit florida, and forecasters say its likely that some of the same areas will be hit again. Across six states at least 215 dead as a result of Hurricane Helene with hundreds still missing. Over 750,000 homes are still without power. An experts say that helene was the deadliest mainland us hurricane since katrina in 2005. The full scale of the damage is still unknown with many towns completely cut off from the outside world, with roads and communication lines still down. Experts say a full recovery could take years, and thats before Hurricane Milton has made landfall. Our Weather Presenter Chris fawkes has more. Another damaging hurricane is on the way to the united states. Following on from the devastation that Hurricane Helene brought, we now have Hurricane Milton undergoing rapid intensification over the very warm waters of the gulf of mexico. Now this will be bringing some strong winds and torrential rain to the Yucatan Peninsula of mexico. It then heads out over the open waters and gains significant power. At its peak we are expecting this to be a category 4 hurricane, not far off a Category 5 hurricane, which is a top rated storm. Gusts of wind around 175 miles per hour. It then will work its way north eastwards, and is expected to make landfall in central regions of florida during wednesday. The peak gusts of wind probably around 155 mph. Its likely to be a category 3 hurricane but its not far off being a category 4 hurricane, so damaging, destructive gusts of wind are on the way. As well as that there is going to be some torrential falls of rain pretty widely across florida. There will be some areas that see nearly 400 millimetres of rain. And coastal areas are going to be inundated by a very large Storm Surge. 3. 5 Metre Wall of water in places. That is 12 foot high, that will cause coastal inundation. So Hurricane Milton is on the way bringing a combination of damaging, destructive gusts of wind and severe flooding both from the torrential rain and from the coastal Storm Surge.
