charity are recognised in the new year's honours list. hello, i am lucy gray. we start in the middle east, where gaza's hamas run health industry says... palestinians have been killed and 250 injured in the past 24—hour is as israeli army hits across the country. israeli air strikes and tank fire are continuing on khan younis in southern gaza, which israel sees ace as a stronghold of hamas, considered by a terrorist organisation by many western governments. reports of battles between israeli troops and hamas fighters there. i can show you live pictures now looking into gaza from israel and you can see the smoke in the distance on the skyline. we have been seeing smoke billowing across that skyline. allow us now. the israeli army says its troops have killed dozens of terrorists in gaza city. as the ground operations drive tens of thousands of people to flee, there are also reports of an increased spread of diseases and the un is
3:01 pm
warning the volume of aid reaching the territory remains woefully inadequate. our middle east correspondent yolande knell sends this update. there have been street battles, once again, very intense between israeli soldiers and hamas fighters in khan younis in the south of the gaza strip, seen as a stronghold of hamas. israeli warplanes have also been pounding the three urban refugee camps in the centre of the territory. this is an area from which tens of thousands of people have fled in recent days. and one local health official there said that 100 people had been killed by israeli bombings injust the last 2a hours. and he said that the local hospitals really overwhelmed by the numbers of casualties that were coming in. now, israel says it's not limiting the amount of aid that is getting into gaza. and it says that earlier in the day it allowed a four—hour humanitarian pause in the fighting. but at the same time, there is this complaint from the un that it's really "woefully inadequate", the amount of aid that is getting into gaza right now.
3:02 pm
and it has said that mass delivery of aid remains impossible because of the ongoing fighting. we've also had fresh warnings from un health officials about a rise in outbreaks of diseases among newly displaced people. let's go live now to demand and unicef spokesperson. perhaps i could stop with that point that yolande kneu stop with that point that yolande kneuin stop with that point that yolande knell injerusalem was just making about the diseases that are causing such concern at the moment. can you tell us a bit more about that? yes. tell us a bit more about that? yes, the spread — tell us a bit more about that? yes, the spread of _ tell us a bit more about that? yes, the spread of diseases _ tell us a bit more about that? yes, the spread of diseases is _ the spread of diseases is increasing, according to the statistics from who and also what my colleagues at unicef are seeing on the ground, we are seeing more cases of things like acute respiratory infection, which is particularly concerning because it is winter here in amman and it is cold. also cases of diarrhoea, which, for there are young children can be deadly. with
3:03 pm
congestion of almosti million people down in and around rafah now, searching for places to be, we are very worried that the spread of disease will continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks. what disease will continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks. what can ou tell us the coming days and weeks. what can you tell us about _ the coming days and weeks. what can you tell us about water— the coming days and weeks. what can you tell us about water and _ the coming days and weeks. what can you tell us about water and access - you tell us about water and access to water, how much people are able to water, how much people are able to get and where they are getting it from? ~ . , ., , ., , to get and where they are getting it from? water is a serious problem, particularly — from? water is a serious problem, particularly in _ from? water is a serious problem, particularly in the _ from? water is a serious problem, particularly in the south _ from? water is a serious problem, particularly in the south for - from? water is a serious problem, particularly in the south for the - particularly in the south for the newly displaced people. hundreds of thousands of people have been descending on rafah and for those who have arrived in recent days, the shelters are full, these schools are full and the houses are full, so people are being left with no option but to sleep on the streets, often under pieces of tarpaulin and for them it is where the access to water is the hardest. we are hearing that children are having to resort to drinking polluted and salty water and only have access to about 1.5—2 litres of water each per day and
3:04 pm
thatis litres of water each per day and that is for all of their needs, for washing and cleaning and cooking and drinking, so that is far from enough. we recommend 15 litres per person per day in an emergency conflict like this, so that is resulting in children having dehydration and being at risk of diseases like diarrhoea. just dehydration and being at risk of diseases like diarrhoea.- diseases like diarrhoea. just in terms of the _ diseases like diarrhoea. just in terms of the children, - diseases like diarrhoea. just in. terms of the children, obviously diseases like diarrhoea. just in - terms of the children, obviously you are from unicef, the mental impact this must be having on them is so huge. 0bviously this must be having on them is so huge. obviously the immediate need of trying to get water and just to survive day to day is the most depressing thing, but what are you doing on that front? yes. depressing thing, but what are you doing on that front?— doing on that front? yes, it is a very good _ doing on that front? yes, it is a very good question _ doing on that front? yes, it is a very good question and - doing on that front? yes, it is a very good question and it - doing on that front? yes, it is a very good question and it is - very good question and it is something we are concerned about because obviously we are already seeing the traumatic stress responses in children. they have nowhere safe to go, and so they are exposed to repeated fear and trauma day in, and day out. unicef... inaudible notjust providing aid, looking
3:05 pm
to get ahead of some of these mental health issues we are seeing. we are meeting children in shelters, providing them with counselling, where we can, but we are also running go group recreational activities to just give children a chance to be children and have some respite from the fear. i heard a lovely story the other day of a young girl who was saying that, a storyteller who came to honour those recreational activities told her a story that she now asks her parents to tell her every night when she goes to bed to block out the sounds of the bombardments at help her sleep. of the bombardments at help her slee -. ., ., of the bombardments at help her slee -. ., ~ ,, of the bombardments at help her slee -. . ~' ,, , of the bombardments at help her slee. ., ,, , . ., sleep. 0k. thank you very much for talkin: to sleep. 0k. thank you very much for talking to us _ sleep. 0k. thank you very much for talking to us about _ sleep. 0k. thank you very much for talking to us about it, _ sleep. 0k. thank you very much for talking to us about it, tess - sleep. 0k. thank you very much for talking to us about it, tess ingraml talking to us about it, tess ingram bear, unicef spokesperson on the situation in gaza. meanwhile, south africa has filed a case in the international court ofjustice alleging that israel is engaging in genocidal acts in gaza. the un court has confirmed the proceedings, which concerning alleged violations of
3:06 pm
israel's obligations under the genocide convention. the move has been welcomed by the leader of the palestinian and national —— palestinian and national —— palestinian national initiative leader, mustafa barghouti. we appreciate and we support the decision of the south african government to take the case of genocide against palestinian people in gaza to the international court ofjustice. israel is committing three terrible war crimes against the people in gaza — the war crime of genocide, the war crime of collective punishment, and the war crime of ethnic cleansing. and it is high time to hold israel responsible and accountable in front of the international community. israel has responded with fury. israeli foreign ministry spokesperson lior haiat says... he goes on to say... eurostar has now confirmed all of its services travelling
3:07 pm
to and from london today have been cancelled. ina in a statement, the company said... 0ur correspondent aruna iyengar is outside london st pancras station. she says the disruption is happening during an exceptionally busy travel time. eurostar has cancelled all its train services between london st pancras international to paris, brussels and amsterdam, so there are going to be a hell of a lot of people here very disappointed. i have been here all morning and people were arriving, hoping to get away at around lipm, which is what eurostar early which is what eurostar earlier said would be the time when services might be resumed. as you know, this was due to flooding in the thames tunnel, there are two tunnels just outside ebbsfleet in kent,
3:08 pm
which have flooded due to the severe weather conditions we are experiencing here, and that has caused a huge knock—on effect and means that southeastern services, which run from london into the south—east and towards kent have been cancelled for the whole day and eurostar services over to the continent, over to europe have also been severely impacted, so that latest news now is there are no eurostar services running today. eurostar has also been affected in the last few days, last week it had to suspend some services due to strikes from french workers, so coming on top of that, it has not been a particularly successful week for eurostar. they have been trying to direct people to their website for updates. also hsi, which operates the line, has been putting out information on its website and southeastern also has information, but generally the information to all travellers is, check the website first before you come to the station. but from this morning and even now, i've been seeing passengers turning up at st pancras, people sitting down in the coffee shops, people sitting down
3:09 pm
on the platforms, just waiting to see what will happen and they are very disgruntled because they feel as though they have really not had the information they require. the problem is even if they do manage to get things up and running by tomorrow morning, there will be such a delay, won't there, such a backlog for all of the cases, all the people who have missed their trains today? that's right, and it comes at obviously a huge crunch weekend. this is new year's eve weekend, people are desperate to get to their loved ones, to see their friends all over europe and people i spoke to earlier were really quite crushed that they are missing out on their parties, missing out on their celebrations, getting together with people that they want to be with. so yes, it is a huge blow for people. southeastern say they are putting on some shuttle services between ramsgate and ashford to try and get people down to the coast, so they can find alternative ways to get across the channel, but it is really not very clear how people will get between here, paris, brussels and amsterdam,
3:10 pm
not clear at all. people on social media, i have been reading, are saying, they are crying out for information, what can we do if the eurostar is cancelled ? aruna iyengar reporting. there have been more air strikes in ukraine. people are saying that people were injured in belgorod. as did the city of pre—outs. the attacks have not been confirmed by kyiv, but they come after a raft of russian bombardment on civilians in ukraine which killed 39 people on friday. earlier i spoke to our reporter in kyiv, zhanna bezpiatchuk, who confirmed the detail of the fighting on both sides in the past 24—hour is. so far, we can say that the number of missiles and drones that attacked ukraine, altogether 158 drones
3:11 pm
and missiles, almost at all possible times. so it is definitely the biggest number since the beginning of the russian invasion in february 2022. ukrainian cities all across the country were damaged, targeted by russian missiles and drones. and the ukrainian president has said that altogether, i20 ukrainian cities, towns, villages were affected by this particular attack. it came in a few waves and for example in kyiv it is confirmed for now that 16 people were killed and some people, even now, when we are talking, stay under the debris. one of the districts of the ukrainian capital and rescue works, they continue, there is hope that these people can be saved. almost 160 people altogether
3:12 pm
across the country were injured, and also 30 people were killed. then came, of course, ukraine's retaliatory attacks? yes, and far in advance, before this large—scale attack on ukraine, the ukrainian military intelligence said it very clearly that if russia attacks ukraine on a large scale during the winter, with the goal to disrupt infrastructure, first of all, power stations and if it attacks also civilian population in the ukrainian cities, which happened, actually, so then there will be the retaliation, the response. for now ukraine relies mainly on combat drones. we got reports from russia that also the missiles were launched against russian territories overnight, on the 30th of december. but this is an open question, this information obviously has to be
3:13 pm
verified because part of the agreement that ukraine has with the western countries is that it cannot use large—scale missiles supplied by the western partners to target in the russian territories. it can use them only to liberate their own territories, including crimea. zhanna bezpiatchuk fair reporting from kyiv. a man has been killed in sheffield on wednesday. his murderer was remanded in custody and has been charged with five counts of attempted murder. the man who was killed was hit by a vehicle while trying to help a woman. he died at the scene. australian authorities are warning the public not to pick up packages of cocaine that have been washed up on beaches

3:26 pm
of england and wales. coastal gales here, that rain stretching up into northern england and some more snow for the hills of central and northern scotland, perhaps another 5—10 centimetres accumulating. and of course, this could cause some more disruption to some of those major routes. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, then, our cold front will gradually be pushing further eastwards across into east anglia, central southern england, squally gusts of wind, particularly towards the south coast, gusts of wind here of up to 60—65 mph, potentially, along with some heavy downpours of rain, blustery showers digging in behind. not quite as chilly tonight across much of scotland and it's still mild towards the south. and this, of course, is new year's eve. during the day, we're likely to see some more blustery showers, some hail, some thunder, possible lighter winds across scotland and it should be largely dry, particularly towards the east. but again, it's quite gusty towards the south coast. it remains mild in the south, colder across much of scotland. but let's take a look
3:27 pm
at the big night itself. we're likely to see again, more blustery showers blow through. again, very windy with strong gusts of wind towards the south coast. could cause some disruption here. and while we're showing lots of showers on the charts here, there will be a lot of dry weather around as well, perhaps a patchy frost across scotland where it will be feeling colder. the winds will be lighter here. into new year's day and it's a much quieter looking picture. we'll eventually start to see the winds pick up towards the south—west and some outbreaks of rain by the time we get to the end of the day. but as you can see, there's lots of dry weather. there will be some sunshine around. expect to see some more showers towards north—west england, perhaps the south—west of scotland, too. it stays largely mild as we head through the start of 2024. it's colder in scotland, of course, and it will be rather unsettled at times.
