the un warns civil order may be breaking down in gaza as thousands of residents break in to warehouses for food and other basic items. israel is continuing with its military operation — moving more tanks and infantry into gaza. prime minister netanyahu spells out his priorities — destroy hamas and bring the hostages home. civilians have again been told to head south — where the israeli military says humanitarian efforts will be expanding. i'm lukwesa burak in london — our other main story: matthew perry, one of the stars of the hit tv show friends, is found dead at his home in los angeles.

hello, i'm anna foster in southern israel. we start in gaza where the un agency for palestinian refugees, unrwa, says there are signs that civil order is starting to break down, following three weeks of war. this is one of the incidents which prompted that warning — people breaking into aid agency warehouses, to carry off food and other essential supplies. just 80 trucks carrying aid have reached the territory in the past week. people are taking basic things like wheat and hygiene kits which are in short supply in gaza. people are taking what they can from the warehouses after breaking inside. people are carrying away what they can lift in their arms as the level of humanitarian aid remains at an extremely low, just 80 trucks carrying aid, reaching gaza in the last week compared to more than 100

a day which normally pass through there. israel's aerial bombardment and ground operation inside gaza are continuing. the israeli defence forces have released this video — showing tanks and other armoured vehicles inside the territory. the palestinian red crescent says it's received warnings from israeli officials to immediately evacuate gaza's al-quds hospital, adding that raids have taken place todayjust 50 metres away from it. israel says it is responding to the october 7th raids we can see the continuing mortar and smoke, these live shots show you what is happening inside gaza right now. you can see the strength of the bombardment which is continuing not just through the night but through the day as well.

we'll bring you up to date with all of the latest developments in the next hour — and we begin our coverage with this report by our middle east correspondent yolande knell. the death toll is rising. with the war raging on, the death toll is rising. health officials in gaza now say more than 8,000 people have been killed. but palestinian rocket fire hasn't stopped. and as it strikes by air, israel says it is also widening its ground offensive. translation: the war inside the gaza strip i will be difficult and long, and we are prepared for it. this is the second phase of the war whose goals are clear — the destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and the return of the hostages home. although a telecommunications blackout now appears to be easing, it has been hard to get news from inside gaza. but there have been more international calls to stop the fighting and protect the civilians who are suffering. i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequences of large—scale ground operations in gaza and the potential for thousands more civilians to die.

continued violence is not the answer. away from gaza, young palestinians in ramallah in the west bank were holding a visual, while nearby, officials met the president, a political rival of hamas. translation: i call on the brothers, the leaders of the arab states - to hold an emergency summit to stop this brutal aggression— against our palestinian people and our cause, | ito face the regional and global| challenges and to do everything possible to enable our people to stay in their land. - these pictures were released by the israeli military as it sends more troops and tanks into gaza. but its invasion has been more limited than some had expected. israel is pledging to eradicate hamas after its attacks this month led to the country's deadliest ever day, killing more than 1,400 people. with hugs and reassurances, the prime minister is trying to allay the fears of israelis whose relatives are being

held hostage in gaza. there is more talk of a possible swap for palestinians jailed in israel. take them, we don't need them here, yeah. i want my family and all the hostages back home. already, this three—week—old war has been the most intense and deadliest in the decades—old israel—palestinian conflict. both sides are bracing themselves for more tough days that are yet to come. a short while ago i spoke tojuliette touma, director the un agency unrwa that looks after palestinian refugees has been talking about some of its warehouses being broken into by residents in the gaza strip who have been taking away some basic goods, hygiene kits and things like wheat and flour. we have seen these pictures this

morning because there have been a communications blackout starting on friday evening and continued through the day yesterday and unrwa have described as have other humanitarian agencies how they have onlyjust this morning in the last few hours been able to make contact with their staff on the ground and receive some of these pictures we are seeing now of these pictures we are seeing now of people, you can see there breaking into warehouses and taking what they need. a short while ago i spoke tojuliette touma, director of communications at the un palestine refugee agency. very sadly, people are getting frustrated. they're getting hungry as the siege, the three—week—long siege, continues, as the war continues. so, yes, four of our warehouses and distribution centres, people came into them and they took wheat flour and some other cleaning supplies. i know it's been enormously difficult with the communication blackout that there's been in gaza

with the phone lines and internet down to find out much information, but does unwra have any supplies left? do you know what your supply levels are like now? so the communication was finally restored. as of this morning, we have some contact with our teams on the ground because the internet service is coming back to to gaza. so we have better communication, definitely better than what we had yesterday. we are assessing the situation overall. we also have another warehouse, that is one of the largest un warehouses in this region, but it's too early to know exactly how much supplies do we do we need because of what happened in the warehouses and the distribution centres yesterday. just as we're talking here, we're looking across to gaza and behind me there is the very loud

sound of another strike. and we're seeing a huge grey—white cloud of smoke just on the skyline behind me here. i know this is particularly difficult for you because your staff, many of your staff are still working inside there. and i know you've sustained casualties among your staff as well, haven't you? as of this morning, we are very, very sad that unwra confirmed that 59 of our colleagues have been killed in the war in gaza. many of them were teachers, school principals, engineers, doctors, specialists, support staff that helped us with our huge humanitarian operation. we do know that the bombardments and air strikes continued. we are terrified for the fate of our teams

on the ground in gaza. they continue to deliver, however, against all odds and with all the challenges that continue to be out there in the shelters, giving whatever assistance they can to the communities in need in line with our humanitarian mandate. what are you hearing about more humanitarian aid potentially being allowed in? the israeli military have said several times now, as they encourage people to to move south away from the fighting in the north, they say that that humanitarian aid will be expanded there. but there still doesn't seem to be any sign at rafah, certainly of more trucks going in. what are you being told? well, just in one week we only had 80 trucks, just above 80. that's when we say it's a drop in the ocean or it's crumbs. it's not a pr stunt, it's the truth. because before the war, gaza used to get 500 trucks every day.

so in one week we had just over 80 trucks. yesterday, because of the breakdown in communications, we did not have a humanitarian convoy. and none of these trucks that have been coming into the gaza strip had fuel in them. and the needs for fuel continue to be very, very high. that was the director of communications for the un agency unrwa that works with palestinian refugees. live now to ramallah in the west bank, where we can speak to nibal farsakh, spokesperson for the palestine red crescent society. we have seen this specific warning it seems to one of the hospitals in gaza this morning, the al-quds hospital where people are taking shelter and need to evacuate this

hospital because it may be attacked. what more can you tell us about that? ~ ., . what more can you tell us about that? a ., a a, , , that? we have received early this mornin: that? we have received early this morning to _ that? we have received early this morning to threats, _ that? we have received early this morning to threats, serious - that? we have received early this i morning to threats, serious threats, demanding immediate evacuation for the al-quds hospital because it will be bombarded. israeli authorities also told us that palestine red crescent will be responsible for the safety of the people inside the hospital. although we have told them repeatedly we have also repeatedly announced over media channels and called on international community is that we will not evacuate because we don't have the means to evacuate so many patients, many of them in critical condition, many inning intensive —— in intensive care. evacuating our patients would mean risking their lives. not only us who

have said that, the who has announced that the evacuation is impossible to implement and they constitute a death penalty for patients. we are now extremely for the safety of our medical teams and staff in hospital, the safety of our patients as well as the city of over 14,000 patients as well as the city of over 1a,000 palestinian civilians who have seeks refuge and so the hospital, many of them children and women. they thought they might be in a safe place since they are in hospital. they have no other option or no other place to go. intense bombardment is taking place all over gaza and they have been forced to evacuate their homes and they don't even have shoes or able to evacuate themselves to the south so the only

option for them was to seek refugee in the hospital and now all of them are under the threat of being bombed at any second due to this serious israeli threat to al-quds hospital. israeli threat to al-quds hospital. i know communication for you and many humanitarian organisations has been enormously difficult with your staff in gaza while the phone and internet blackout has taken place. things are starting to come back online this morning. what are they saying to you about the latest situation there and how they are coping? situation there and how they are co - in: ? situation there and how they are coin: ? . , situation there and how they are contin? ., , , ., ., , coping? the latest situation is catastrophic. _ coping? the latest situation is catastrophic. they _ coping? the latest situation is catastrophic. they have - coping? the latest situation is catastrophic. they have told l coping? the latest situation is| catastrophic. they have told us coping? the latest situation is - catastrophic. they have told us how much they struggle in order to reach the wounded people because of the complete communication blackout and also making time to arrive to the winter people, it takes more time

and is absolutely risking the lives of the wounded people and injured as well as patients, we are talking over 2 million palestinians denied access to ambulance services due to the cut of communication. they also reported that there are at least three ambulances where staff are running out of fuel. we call now on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the evacuation orders against al-quds hospital and ensure the protection of civilians as well as our hospital medical facilities and teams according to the international humanitarian law. the situation is severe and is collapsing due to the lack of medical supplies as well as running out of fuel and unfortunately up to this moment, we

can't get fuel into gaza due to israeli forces refusing the entry of fuel. we call on the international community to pressure israel to open a humanitarian corridorfor the a humanitarian corridor for the entry a humanitarian corridorfor the entry of humanitarian aid into gaza including fuel. this is urgently neededin including fuel. this is urgently needed in order to save the lives of thousands of civilians in gaza. irate thousands of civilians in gaza. we have heard this morning from ingres, the un agency for palestinian refugees, that some of their warehouses have been broken into. we have seen images of desperate people carrying away bags of wheat and things like hygiene and sanitation kits and unrwa have said this morning they are concerned that civil order may be starting to break down in gaza. is that a concern for you as well?—

down in gaza. is that a concern for you as well? our concern now is we are in upcoming _ you as well? our concern now is we are in upcoming hours, _ you as well? our concern now is we are in upcoming hours, our- you as well? our concern now is we l are in upcoming hours, our hospitals will be forced to shut down because they are literally running out of fuel and without fuel, that means no electricity. that means the hospitals can't even operate and continue providing life—saving purposes. that also means hundreds of thousands of patients connected to life—support machines and children in incubators will lose their lives due to the lack of electricity. that means not only palestinian civilians are now denied access to food, water, electricity, fuel and medicine, they will also be denied their right to have medical services and treatments due to this complete shutdown of hospitals because they are literally running out of fuel as well as witnessing extreme shortages in medical supplies and ministers unfortunately at this moment were able only to get

into gaza, only 84 tracks including food and water and medical supplies. that is a drop in the ocean. it does not meet the needs of civilians who are left in hunger and need food and water. it doesn't meet the needs of hospitals which are all witnessing extreme shortages of medical supplies and medicine as well as fuel. most importantly, up to this moment, although this repeated call from all international agencies and un agencies to allow the entry of fuel which is extremely needed to the continuity of the work of hospitals and even distribution and imports of aid because without fuel, you don't have trucks to operate in order to distribute the aid that is

allowed to be entered. so now that is the responsibility of the international community to intervene, to stand up for humanity and allow the entry of humanitarian aid. we are talking about nonstop safe entry of humanitarian aid including fuel.— safe entry of humanitarian aid including fuel. 0k, thank you for “oininu including fuel. 0k, thank you for joining us- _ including fuel. 0k, thank you for joining us. that _ including fuel. 0k, thank you for joining us. that is _ including fuel. 0k, thank you for joining us. that is from - including fuel. 0k, thank you for joining us. that is from the - including fuel. 0k, thank you for| joining us. that is from the wreck palestine red crescent society. we saw yesterday the israel defense forces once again telling civilians in gaza to move from the north to the south of the territory. already more than 1 million the south of the territory. already more than1 million people have moved away from gaza city. they were telling people to move away from the battlefields but also people moving south were told there would be an increase in humanitarian help that would be available. let's hearfrom the idf�*s spokesperson. translation: good morning. during the night we expanded the forces entrance into the gaza strip,

joining the forces already there. we are continuing based on our plan we are slowly expanding the ground operation and ruining ourforces there. of course there are risks to our force as well. we will do our utmost in air, sea and land in order to ensure the safety of our forces. as a reaction to the incident from lebanon, we attacked various targets and infrastructure of the terrorist organisation that continues to act against us. and we are eliminating all those who attack us. anyone who breaches our security defence will be eliminated. we are continuing to assess

the situation in order to enable our routine to continue during the war. please prepare to follow instructions and directives of the home front command and we will update you about anything that could possibly happen and you will associate an app. anything that could possibly happen and you will see it on the app. please be aware and note everything that is happening because it is life—saving. we have notified 311 family members of the fatalities of the idf and the families... we will continue updating them the whole time and we are exerting a supreme effort in order to bring them home. and we will continue doing so.

this morning, there was a new year of the draft of lookout spotter soldiers and we saw what an important role they play. they are deployed in the defence of the country all over our borders, including drafting new soldiers now but we will ensure they will all be prepared. that is the spokesperson for the israel defense forces. live now to gaza, where we can speak to our correspondent, rusdhi abualouf. i know he started to get communications back again this morning. what have you managed to learn and find out now you are back

in communication with people? about in communication with people? about four o'clock in — in communication with people? about four o'clock in the _ in communication with people? about four o'clock in the morning _ in communication with people? about four o'clock in the morning the - four o'clock in the morning the palestinian telecommunication companies said they managed to overcome the destruction that had occurred to some operations and lines and fix them. is not fully back because since the beginning 80% of the people were without internet from day one of this war but those who used to the 20% can now use it. some people it was a relief because they managed to call their relatives and were happy they were still alive but others are not happy. a friend of mine told me this morning on a call crying that he wished they hadn't returned the communication because he discovered his wife's family, some of them are dead and some are under the rubble. everyone is hanging onto his phone in the

hospital trying to get information with more than 30 hours work and there was heavy bombardment in the city, still intensifying since israel expanded its military operation two days ago. intensified the shelling in gaza and gaza city, the shelling in gaza and gaza city, the area that israel wants 1.2 million people to leave and insisted people should leave. they sent messages to the people today. i sent a recorded message on my phone saying you have to leave immediately. people are still getting messages but what is really significant today is the al-quds hospital in gaza has received the fourth call in ten days asking people in the hospital to evacuate. there are around 14,000 people in

the hospital and about 100 patients, eight of them in intensive care units. the doctor said this is almost impossible to move the patients and the people out of the hospital but there were a lot of air strikes last night around the hospital, four orfive strikes last night around the hospital, four or five air around it. most of them were on the roads leading to the hospital and destroyed them. and another hospital, the main hospital in gaza, it is the hub for vehicle transport and damaged the road around it. people there are also worried about israeli threats of the hospital. the local authority here said this is a crime, they should a statement today holding a press conference half an hour from holding a press conference half an hourfrom now holding a press conference half an hour from now to talk about the latest figures, over 8000 people

looking after his family and children as well. some news to bring in from the vatican. pope francis has called for a ceasefire in the war between israel and hamas and renewed his call for an immediate release of those hostages still being held in gaza. varying nationalities, more than 220 hostages are still held inside the gaza strip. we were told the diplomatic conversations are continuing for their release but only four hostages had been released so far. these are live pictures we can see towards gaza. this is the view from southern israel where i am right now. you can hear even as i've been speaking this morning, the sounds of mortars and artillery fire as the israeli bombardment of gaza continues. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described it as a second phase, the

second stage of this war. hello there. we are heading for a change of month this week but not weather pattern. it will stay particularly unsettled as we go through the week ahead. for now we have low pressure still dominating the story. it will start to weaken into tomorrow but for now it is bringing some rain and some of it has been heavy overnight. we see a band of persistent rain drifting steadily north from eastern england towards the scottish border. so here is for we are likely to see persistent rain lingering, still that east or north easterly flow driving that showery rain across eastern scotland accompanied by gales, gusts in excess of 50 miles an hour at times. northern ireland, wales, south—west england, some sharp showers driven in by the south—westerly wind, some showers in the south—east,

sandwiched in between the two brighter and drier interludes. a blustery afternoon for all of us, especially exposed coasts, temperature similar values in recent days, ranging from 10—15 degrees. cooler in the northern isles but here it will largely stay dry. as we go through the evening our weather front will sink south back into north—east england, weakening as it does so and we will have scattered showers and some cloud around and overnight lows of 7—11 degrees but with no pressure weakening and the wind falling lighter, monday and tuesday will be a slightly quieter day, fewer showers around. a case of sunshine and showers and a feed of nuisance rain across eastern scotland slowly easing with top temperatures between eight and 16 degrees. similar story into tuesday. the wind will remain light and we will have a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. the vent remaining light and we will have a case of sunny

spells and scattered showers i want to focus on the end of the forecast from wednesday into thursday because by the end of tuesday another weather front moves north and east bringing rain for a time before another system on thursday moves in. the isobars squeezing together and some stormy spells. so you will need to keep watching the forecast for the start of november. more rain to come, the potential for stormy conditions on thursday.
