to evacuate immediately and go to shelters near the egyptian border to the south. israel has hit targets today. our correspondent reports just across the border from gaza. reporter: because awoke to this -- a new day of is really bombing. skies darkened by ash and debris. in rafa, survivors snatched from the rubble. a baby brought out alive. palestinians say 12 members of one family were killed in their own home. elsewhere, frenzied digging with barehands. shock and grief all around. israel says it is striking hamas

in its strongholds. tell that to her. she says they were sleeping and woke to the sound of a strike. we didn't know where it was she says. we ran to see and it was our home. from southern israel we could hear and see the return to battle. the view from inside gaza is black smoke on the horizon. the cease-fire well and truly over. israel is blaming hamas for all of this, saying it fired rockets early this morning and refused to release all the women it is holding. again, inside gaza, there is war. and worthen 2 million palestinians are trapped, with israel promising to hit hard. >> having chosen to hold onto

our women, hamas will now take the mother of all thumping's. as of now, after hamas violated the framework for a pause, we have resumed combat against of the hamas army of terror in the gaza strip. reporter: but they are morning a civilian. he leaves behind four children. i'll commit -- this man says a last goodbye and tries to keep the flies away. his brothers take their turn. the family told the bbc, after disease -- after aziz was killed, israel bombed their apartment block. as gazan civilians suffer again,

hamas says it offered to extend the truce and release more hostages, but israel refused. america says israel must do more this time to avoid civilian casualties. anchor: israel and hamas have traded blame for the collapse of the truce, with america's top lemat accusing hamas of reneging on its -- top diplomat accusing hamas of reneging on its commitment. the secretary of state urged israel to implement clear protections for civilians. >> as we seen today, israel has moved out on part of that, including sending out information and making it clear where people could be in safe areas in gaza. anchor: the u.n. has called the

situation in gaza catastrophic as airstrikes resume and thousands of displaced people struggle to find food, shelter and clean water. the head of philanthropy for palestinian refugees in the u.s. for the u.n. told us more earlier. thank you for joining us. can i begin by expressing our condolences to you for the loss of your brother, his wife and children who were killed in gaza last week. this conflict is thousands of miles away, but for you in so many outside of the region, it is still very raw and very real. >> yes, and i appreciate your sympathy. it's been almost eight days now and every day i learned about grief, it is very sneaky. i loved my brother and his family.

i don't want to lose any more family members. anchor: the cease-fire ended this morning. we've seen already israeli attacks in rafah and elsewhere in gaza. what are you hearing from your colleagues on the ground about the current situation? >> we know the israelis have suspended deliveries of aid and fuel into gaza. zero trucks into gaza today. not fuel for hospitals, not food , none of that is happening. you mentioned places where we were attacked, those are very personal. my dad got bombed today, so he went to a hospital because he pledged today i will never sleep in an apartment today, i will sleep outside. this was two hours ago.

it's not stopping, sadly. the people who have the power to stop this are not brave enough to stop it. my family and other families and civilians are continuing to pay the toll for this. my colleagues, today somebody passed away from injuries. those are great people who deliver aid and try to support under difficult circumstances. we continue today, people we know and love and work with. people on the ground are not feeling safe. there have not been vaccinations since the war began and 12,000 have received their vaccinations. that is what we want to continue. they've reduced the population

of 2.2 million into a bread line. this is by design, unfortunately. anchor: do you think another cease-fire can happen? >> i pray for one because of what my family to be safe. i'm reading reports there might be a cease-fire. there are people who have the power to stop it. today the bombs are throughout gaza. there are a lot of women and children in gaza. people are starved, dehydrating, i can't get money to my mom. she can't find anything to eat. these are people we love and we can get them money or food.

i can even call her. i can't imagine the biggest agency not able to deliver in gaza. anchor: we saw quite strong words from the u.s. as a warning to israel to protect civilian lives as the cease-fire had come to an end and israel says it is doing that, but would you like to see the u.s. doing something more? >> i think what humanity wants to see is the u.s. doing something more. my family has nothing to do with anything going on. my brother has a small child. an airstrike took their house. this is like genocide.

people are debating, is this a war, is this genocide? this israel. -- this is real. it is no secret, the trauma and suffering in gaza, the administration knows this. these statements are for record keeping, not to inspire action. "we told him not to do this." there are no teeth behind this. i understand certain parties in the u.s. are more, more, more. that's unfortunate. we were talking about the ukraine and russia and all of a sudden that has changed. it breaks my heart because i love this country and my family in gaza and friends. i have lost too many. my brother did not deserve to die.

they could not even find his body for a few days. that is too cruel. i hope any israelis in positions of power are listening to this. anchor: thank you indeed for joining us on bbc news. we can go to israel now to speak to our international editor. jeremy, thank you for joining us. we've just heard about the attacks from israel today despite the warning from the u.s. has israel been asked leaning what they've been doing since the cease-fire ended? jeremy: they are saying as before, that they are fighting terrorism, they are blaming hamas on the write-down of the cease-fire. there was a statement from a government spokesman here saying hamas decided it would not

release our women so we will give them, i think he said something like the mother of all beatings. belligerent rhetoric from the israelis. i think quite dynamic and aggressive military action as well. there are reports of flares in the air and lots of observers thinking maybe the israelis are preparing a ground incursion could anchor: that in mind, is there a sense at all that negotiations could back to a place where there could be another cease-fire? jeremy: i think it will take a great deal at the moment. yes, nothing is ever impossible. i think at the moment, the drive is coming from the military in terms of what they want to do, and the israelis always said when the cease-fire ended, they would go back to their military

plans. secretary blinken in the united states has said this time it needed to be different, that israel had to guarantee safe areas for palestinian civilians to go to and they should fight in a different way, not so intense, not so heavy, more targeted, so they don't kill so many palestinian civilians, but according to the figures out of gaza from the health ministry there -- and of course he israelis don't trust those figures -- they are saying 100 civilians or more have been killed today. if there's going to be a ground incursion, i think we will see quickly whether the israelis have heeded the calls to fight in a different way. anchor: if that does happen, what might that trigger? what can the international community do now, if anything? jeremy: the real worry that not just the u.n. and others

operating there, but the egyptians particularly have, is if there is massive military pressure on the 2 million or so palestinians who are in a small area of southern gaza as israel pushes forward, and if humanitarian supplies are not coming in, their fear is there could be a rush to try to cross the border. the desperate palestinians would try to force their way through the gates at rafah. that's been something the egyptians have been very worried about for a long time. they've talked to the americans and the u.n. about it. they fear if the weight of the israeli military comes down on those 2 million civilians in gaza in a very small area without food to speak of, without water, without shelter and the winter weather is starting, what they will see is a big push out through the border and that kind of refugee

emergency would be another very serious middle east crisis. anchor: ok, jeremy, thank you for that. here in the u.s., the house of representatives voted to expel the now former u.s. -- now former new york congressman george santos. he becomes only the sixth member in u.s. history to be expelled from the house. it's more than 20 years since the house expelled one of its own members. santos is subject to 23 federal charges, including wire fraud and money laundering. he has repeatedly refused to step down from congress. evidence was found that he lied on his public resume and stole from donors. prosecutors claim he is used thousands of dollars in campaign funds on personal luxury goods and botox. the new york governor has 10 days to call for an election that would likely take place

around february. already on capitol hill, congress is letting go of its ties with mr. santos, removing the signage from his office earlier today. joining me is our correspondence. can you talk me through what happened today? reporter: quite something, george santos's very short career as a lawmaker has ended in pretty much a dramatic fashion. he did not survive this attempt to expel him. he was accused of not knowing how to tell the truth. he's been accused of the very silly to the very serious. i think what sunk it for him is the federal charges he's facing, more than a dozen that range from identity fraud to wire fraud, conspiracy against the u.s. and the ethics committee,

where he is accused of trying to bankroll a lavish lifestyle using campaign funds be an -- funds. you mentioned the sign being removed from his door, very brutal as the locks have been changed and his website has been scrubbed. anchor: that means there is a seat up for grabs. one is likely to happen next -- what is likely to happen next? reporter: the governor has 10 days to call for an election due to take place in february of 2024. this is a democratic opportunity. i think, while republicans are confident they will win, of course they will say that, it is up for democrats, which is presumably why not many republicans wanted to expel

george santos. he's not been convicted of anything, but they know now that not only does his move will reduce their majority in the house even more but it does mean the seat, which president biden and the democratic party will want, leaves them open and vulnerable. anchor: thank you very much. sandra day o'connor, the first woman to sit on the u.s. supreme court has died at the age of 93. she was appointed to the court by president reagan in 1981, tiring at 25 days -- 25 years later. she retreated from public life five years ago after being diagnosed with dementia. here is a brief look back at her life and legacy. >> if i am confirmed, i will do my best to serve the court and this nation. [applause]

the president would like to see you at the white house this afternoon. i have never seen it, i didn't know where it was. i said where is it? [laughter] they started making statements, if i am elected president, i would like to put a woman on the supreme court. >> tell me what you would like your legacy to be. >> i would like it to be that i was the first woman to serve on the court and i did a decent job. [laughter] i think that is a good legacy. anchor: turning to the u.n. climate summit in dubai, where world leaders 70% of the

world's food production. they each promised to take into account national plans to combat climate change. in 2019, farming accounted for a third of global omissions. farming groups have welcomed the declaration but warned that countries must deliver on promises. i am joined by vanessa, the world health organization special envoy for climate and health. thank you for joining us. the impact of climate change on health, that's why there is a climate emergency. what are you will -- what are you most worried about? dr. kerry: i think this crisis

is deeply underestimated. a study came out a few days ago that indicates that over 8 million deaths a year are from air pollution specifically and of those, 5 million are directly from fossil fuel use. those numbers are much higher than we originally estimated. we know health impacts us, our health is being impacted by climate change in every way. look at what happened in libya, a storm created by climate change swept 20,000 people out to sea and killed them immediately. it impacts our cardiovascular your -- cardiovascular health. our nutrition. we are seeing it impacts our mental health. we are being impacted by climate change and our well-being is being threatened every day. anchor: who is most at risk? dr. kerry: i think we've seen this throughout covid, we have learned the lesson well, but we

know those most at risk of the impacts of climate change are those already the most vulnerable, who contribute the least to fossil fuel use but feel the brunt of it the most. i think that will be one of the areas we absolutely have to step up as a global community, which is to make sure we are helping those communities the able to adapt to changes already happening every day but also to phase out from fossil fuels that are causing this harm and creating that kind of damage everywhere. anchor: are you looking for a specific agreement to come out of cop28 that could make a quick difference? dr. kerry: i think without question on the table, one of the things that happened that is terrific is the loss and damages fund, that's already been funded ambitiously by a few countries, we need to continue to fund that and make sure there are resources for countries to invest in adaptation and build resilience to what is happening

and have a stronger health systems to meet the moment. but we also need to see much more meaningful progress on phasing out from fossil fuels. i think that will be the big debate. is it a phase out, phase down, what are we talking about? the reality is, as we know, fossil fuels are driving the harm we see and we have to make a meaningful phase out from fossil fuels. we also need to see and increased understanding of how much we are being impacted by climate change and the need to really address the health impacts of climate change. without question is not just our health that gets impacted, it is our country's gdp, whether a household is above or below the poverty line, if a family can go to work or they have to stay home because of excess heat and they lose wages. it is a matter of security, with climate migrants on the table. every sector will be impacted by climate change.

that's something we need to address more aggressively and increase financing available or meaningfully and make sure it moves quickly into the communities that need it. anchor: vanessakerry, thank you very much for joining us. remember, you can find more about all of the days news at bbc.com/news and on your favorite social media platforms as well. thank you for watching world news america and tak narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is provided by... narrator: financial services firm, raymond james. man: bdo. accountants and advisors. narrator: funding was also provided by, the freeman foundation. and by judy and peter blum kovler foundation; pursuing solutions for america's neglected needs.
