after another night of intense bombardment and fighting in gaza, the palestinian health authority says the death toll has now risen above 9,000. israel says it's killed dozens of hamas fighters. including senior commanders. the group is considered a banned terrorist organisation by the uk government. the strikes follows a hamas attack inside israel on october 7th which saw i,a00 mainly israeli citizens killed. today more foreign nationals are hoping to use the rafah to escape the conflict in gaza, into egypt, after the un said a00 did so yesterday. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. i should warn you, you may find some of the images in her report distressing. waiting to exit the war zone. for the second day, palestinians with foreign passports gathering

at egypt's rafah crossing. susan's american passport is her ticket to leave but she has to say goodbye to her grandmother in gaza. right now, i'm between ice and fire. i don't know that i'm going to be able to see their family that i left behind or the friends that i left behind, people are dying, everybody is dying, nobody is safe. and injabalia, in northern gaza, that is the feeling as again rescuers scramble in the rubble after a third israeli strike in three days. families distraught. this father is missing his son. and this little boy weeps. "we did nothing wrong." 0n the ground in the north, israeli forces say they are advancing in their operation to dismantle hamas. and that they're at the gates of gaza city.

translation: idf fighters continue to advance in the gaza city area - and conduct face—to—face battles with hamas terrorists and deepen the fighting. during the night, the forces fought against many terrorists who tried to ambush them. meanwhile, away from gaza, these were among the latest in hundreds of israeli army arrests since the war began. three palestinians, two children, were shot dead in raids in the occupied west bank. and a shooting attack near a settlement killed an israeli. while attention is diverted, tensions here are rising dangerously. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur correspondent rushdi abualouf joins us from the crossing. —— hejoins us from khan younis in

the rubble. most of them are displaced from gaza city. rushdi abualouf, thank _ displaced from gaza city. rushdi abualouf, thank you _ displaced from gaza city. rushdi abualouf, thank you very - displaced from gaza city. rushdi abualouf, thank you very much l displaced from gaza city. rushdi l abualouf, thank you very much for bringing us the latest from khan yunis in the south of gaza. among those trapped in gaza are at least 30 children thought to be among the more than 200 hostages still being held by hamas. among the youngest are two sisters from the asherfamily, kidnapped along with their mother more than three weeks ago. theirfather, yoni has been speaking to our correspondentjon donnison. # happy birthday to you...# two sisters. raz, four, and aviv, just two. a birthday sing—song for their dad earlier this summer. but the girls, along with their mother, doron, are now hostages in gaza. and he is home alone. how can you hate a child, you know?

it's painful to see a child getting hurt. anywhere, in any situation. children need to be off limits. i can't hate not even the children of my so—called enemies. yoni wasn't with the girls when they were taken on october 7th. along with their mum, they'd been staying with their grandma efrat for the holidays in the nir 0z kibbutz. efrat was killed. this video posted by hamas in gaza — confirmation of a father's nightmare. my little daughter, you see a little hand here, getting covered on her right. and this is my older daughter, raz, with the pink dress. tell me what you felt when you saw that video. it's hard to describe. the only thing i can put in words that can be close is i suffer. to experience these hours, those hours,

it was the definition of hell. she came with from the kindergarten with, you know, a bunch of.. inside the family home, everywhere you look are memories. ..so she gave it to me and told me, "daddy, this is for you. this is a superhero." so how has he felt seeing the hostage videos posted by hamas? it was not easy to watch, mainly because, people, humans, are captive, taken advantage by the one who kidnapped them. in a cynical and the lowest way possible in order to make some kind of psychological battle. i have two small children — mine are four and eight, you know... i mean, i can't imagine what the last three weeks have been like. i seriously considered to offer

myself instead of them in order to exchange. specifically me, in exchange for my family. how can i sleep when i don't know if they are cold or hot? but all yoni can do is wait and tell their story. jon donnison, bbc news, in central israel. the unbearable pain of the families, israelis and cousins, day 27 of the punishing israel—gaza war. —— gazans. back to london. thank you very much. the bank of england has kept interest rates on hold at 5.25%

"i can't get out." injune, scott bought a replacement battery online for his e—bike. the original one had been stolen. cambridgeshire fire and rescue service believes that replacement battery caused a devastating blaze in his home the following week. it was the day before work. i had put the bike on charge, as i do every single night. we were all woken by an almighty bang. my bike was spitting out flames from the ground floor all the way up to the second floor. it was a scene out of a nightmare. i proceeded to jump out the window to try and fight the fire, while my missus was sorting the kids and the two dogs out. badly burned with a broken ankle, scott was taken to hospital and placed in an induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news to me.

and, yeah, i lost my girlfriend, my son, my daughter, and our two dogs. she was the most amazing person in the world. she was nice to everyone. i miss her so much. lily, she would have been nine injanuary. her and her brother, 0liver, had the most amazing relationship. they played constantly. i'm dreading this new life that i've been forced to start. i want my old life back. lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of energy in a small space. but this is thermal runaway, demonstrated in a lab. if a cell in a faulty battery heats up uncontrollably, a devastating chain reaction can follow.

this incident happened in illingworth in west yorkshire in february, when an electric motorbike was left on charge overnight. because we've pretty much got the responses for that ready... chelsea and westminster hospital burns unit. the team here say they're treating more and more people injured by fires caused by faulty lithium ion batteries. as they go up, they have a huge amount of heat to them. patients are a lot of the time needing grafting, surgery and maybe even intensive care support. it's incredibly life changing for these patients, not only with the nature of the injury, but also the long term. so, they may have lost their homes and so actually discharging these patients, sometimes they don't have anywhere to go to. the rise in the number of fires started by faulty lithium ion batteries is causing widespread concern. in london, it is the fastest growing

fire trend, according to the london fire brigade, with a blaze on average every two days. there needs to be a law about buying second—hand batteries. they need to be checked and mot—ed. do not put them on charge near your exit, because you don't want to be the next person that has to go through what i've just gone through. tim muffett, bbc news. an australian woman has been charged with murder, after the deaths of three people by suspected mushroom poisoning. erin patterson's alleged victims died after eating a family lunch she had served at her home — a dish thought to have contained death cap mushrooms, as richard galpin reports. police have been searching erin patterson's home in the small town of leongatha, south—east of melbourne, from early today.
