welcome back to southern israel. you are live with bbc news. i am anna foster, looking out on gaza where we have been seeing and hearing the continuing sights and sounds of the intensified military operation on gaza. you can hear the sound of mortars and artillery fire, as israel has described this as the second stage of this more than three—week—old war now. we have also heard from the united nations agency for palestinian refugees, unrwa, who say they are worried that civil order is starting to collapse in gaza. it says that thousands of people have broken into its warehouses and distribution centres in the south of gaza. it says they took wheat flour and other basic survival items like hygiene supplies. the agency said it was a "worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down".

and it concluded that many "people in gaza are scared, frustrated and desperate. " unrwa says 59 of its staff in gaza are now confirmed dead in israeli strikes. earlier, i spoke to ahmed bayram, a media and communications advisor at norwegian refugee council middle east, which provides assistance and protection to refugees. as we have been recollecting, communications in gaza have been very difficult in the last 2a hours so i asked if he had now been able to contact some of his staff. yes, we have managed to get one of our colleagues on the line in 58 seconds, and he told us the three words we wanted to hear, i am alive. the rest of his message was about not being able to tell which house

was bombed at which time, in which street. my colleague told me there were street being bombed outside and no one was getting any info on that. just this morning, the communication gradually returning, people came to the full scale of what happened in the full scale of what happened in the last 36 hours. there are people who just discovered that their relatives or neighbours, friends and family, are stuck under the rubble. unable to call emergencies all this time. what is happening is gaza is going from bad to worse all the time, around the clock. the level of support arriving is simply not enough. figs support arriving is simply not enou:h. �* , . support arriving is simply not enou:h. a . ,, enough. as we are speaking, we can also see those _ enough. as we are speaking, we can also see those continuing _ enough. as we are speaking, we can also see those continuing pictures i also see those continuing pictures of what looks like quite a small amount of aid being delivered on a new un branded truck. we can see pictures of the aid arriving a little earlier. give us some context

enough. we don't have enough to satisfy the needs on the ground. but we need is upwards of 100 trucks a day. these people have to ration everything. food, water, even sleep. people take turns to sleep, to go to the bathroom, to get hold of bread. now it's a matter of prioritising who is more hungry in the family and who needs that loaf of bread more desperately. find who needs that loaf of bread more desperately-_ who needs that loaf of bread more desperately. and “ust finally, as we continue to _ desperately. and “ust finally, as we continue to see — desperately. and just finally, as we continue to see these _ desperately. and just finally, as we continue to see these live - desperately. and just finally, as we continue to see these live pictures | continue to see these live pictures of the scene in khan younis, this message from unrwa this morning particularly concerning. they say civil society in gaza is starting to break down as people become increasingly desperate. what are you hearing from your people on the ground, about that? we hearing from your people on the ground, about that?— hearing from your people on the ground, about that? we are hearing almost the same _ ground, about that? we are hearing almost the same thing. _ ground, about that? we are hearing almost the same thing. our- ground, about that? we are hearing almost the same thing. our teams i ground, about that? we are hearing i almost the same thing. our teams on almost the same thing. 0ur teams on the ground have been displaced, they

are all over the place. some people have made their way from north to south, made their way back north. trying to run away from death. it wasn't much better here or there, so again, they have returned from north to south. civil society on the ground cannot do much, really, within the restrictions we have. we need a ceasefire, we need the opening of rafah more frequent aid, trucks coming in, definitely providing aid in safe environments for the people who need it. that was the representative _ for the people who need it. that was the representative of— for the people who need it. that was the representative of the _ for the people who need it. that was the representative of the norwegian | the representative of the norwegian refugee council bringing us up to date on the situation with his staff and operations in gaza. after three weeks of heavy bombardment of gaza, which the hamas—ruled health ministry says has claimed more than 8,000 lives,

the israeli army on saturday said "stage two" of the war is now under way, with ground incursions since friday. he described it as a long and difficult war. 0n he described it as a long and difficult war. on friday evening there was a significant uptick in there was a significant uptick in the bombardment here. we have been seeing and hearing it for the last few days standing here, so close as we are. you can hear it even as i am talking to you. so close as we are to the northern area of gaza, where so much of this is going on. we know from the israel defence force that their soldiers, troops and artillery are firmly on the ground now inside gaza. carmiel arbit is a non—resident senior fellow for middle east programmes at the atlantic council. she gave us her analysis of israel's actions in the past few days. yesterday, israel began its ground operation to destroy

the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and to bring hostages home. but at the same time, israel is under immense pressure from the international community, including the united states, to ensure it's taking meaningful precautions to protect civilian lives. we have seen casualties that are already staggering and a war that is really in its early stages, at this point. i would expect the israeli military operation to continue for weeks, if not months, and we will continue to see different developments as israel tries to maoeuvre its strategic points on the ground and its response to international pressure. israel has a long history of recovering hostages, but it often does so through negotiations rather than recover and rescue.

so it's likely this will not come through a ground operation, but rather this will come through negotiations with hamas. there are many theories that israel delayed the ground operations to let things play out, but have not been successful 5 only a small been successful as only a small number of people released. but every time there's an air strike in gaza, an israeli ground operation, any activity that israel does now to try to take out tunnels where the majority of the hostages are being held, it will be seen asjeopardising the lives of those hostages. talking there about the more than 220 hostages still held inside gaza. many israelis but also nationalities all around the world. as well as the hostages still being held by hamas, we know that there are at least 200 british citizens who are trapped in gaza at the same time.

they include the parents—in—law of scotland's first minister humza yousaf. he says he and his wife nadia el nakla have finally heard from them after the communications blackout. people up and down the strip where without communications, without phone networks and without internet for more than 2a hours. writing on x, formerly twitter, he says they are alive but he fears for their safety as they have run out of drinking water. another briton in gaza is 29—year—old zaynab, who is married to a palestinian and went to gaza to attend a wedding, just days before the hamas attacks on israel. zaynab travelled there with 11 other members of herfamily from the uk, including a 13—year—old. our community affairs correspondent ashitha nagesh has been speaking to zaynab's mother lalah ali faten about her daughter's ordeal. hello, my name is zaynab,

i am a british national. me and my family came here two days before the war started and been unable to get out ever since. zaynab, a schoolteacher in greater manchester, had gone to gaza for a wedding and is now trapped near the rafah crossing. is this here? yes, that's manchester. her mother lalah is hoping that she'll be home soon. how does it feel for you being here and sort of watching what's happening from afar? i feel powerless. i feel, as much as i can do, it's not enough, and it's a very painful experience to have to go through to see people go through so much suffering, and not be able to do anything. thousands of bombs have landed... zaynab posted this video on instagram two days ago. ago pleading for help. we have contacted the british

embassy to two at the very least get out its own citizens, but with no luck. the fcdo says it has been keeping in close contact with british nationals in gaza and will update them on the status at the southern border. the death toll is rising every day. every day we wait to hear from zainab in the morning or in the afternoon, whenever she gets a signaljust to see if, you know, whether she made it through the night. this was the last message lalah had from zainab letting her mother know she was alive. but lalah hasn't heard anything since last night when communications from gaza were cut off. the last few weeks have been really quite harrowing. just to watch the images on tv and to see such high numbers of deaths of innocent women and children, and civilians, it's been very painful. and it kind of feels like a nightmare, to be honest, at the moment.

speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg this morning, liberal democrat mp layla moran, who has family in gaza, called for a "humanitarian ceasefire" saying people there are no longer thinking of whether they'll survive, but rather where they want to be when they die. let me ask you first of all, you have family in gaza city. tell us about them. have family in gaza city. tell us about them-— have family in gaza city. tell us about them. , , ., , about them. this is extended family on my mother's _ about them. this is extended family on my mother's side, _ about them. this is extended family on my mother's side, my _ about them. this is extended family on my mother's side, my mum - about them. this is extended family on my mother's side, my mum is i on my mother's side, my mum is palestinian, my dad is british. three generations in the first week following the atrocities committed by hamas on october 7th, an idf bomb hit their house, they went to their local church for christian palestinians. they have been there ever since. 100 people now in that church. and we are deeply, deeply

worried for their safety.— worried for their safety. when i soke to worried for their safety. when i spoke to you — worried for their safety. when i spoke to you yesterday - worried for their safety. when i spoke to you yesterday on - worried for their safety. when i spoke to you yesterday on the l worried for their safety. when i - spoke to you yesterday on the phone, you had not been able to contact them because of the black blackout. have you now? the them because of the black blackout. have you now?— them because of the black blackout. have you now? the 24-48 hours when the internet — have you now? the 24-48 hours when the internet was _ have you now? the 24-48 hours when the internet was cut _ have you now? the 24-48 hours when the internet was cut was _ have you now? the 24-48 hours when the internet was cut was tortuous. - the internet was cut was tortuous. not knowing if they were dead or alive, and being worried for them anyway, i can't tell you what that did to us as a family. we have heard since, because someone in the church has a foreign sim which can connect to the israeli network, has put out a message saying that for now they are safe. i would say a couple of things, though. i heard the secretary of state just now suggest it's hamas that is stopping them from leaving. that is not what is happening. ifind it deeply offensive to suggest hamas is giving my family any kind of marching orders. it has nothing to do with hamas. the reason is there were three generations, one israel, 11—year—old twins, they can't move. there was bombing on the south,

there was bombing on the so—called safe route to get to the south. —— one is frail. i'm afraid to say the situation has changed. no longer are people saying where do we go to be safe. the question they are now asking is where do we want to be when we die. asking is where do we want to be when we die-— asking is where do we want to be when we die. , ., , , ., when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole- — when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole- this _ when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole. this is _ when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole. this is not _ when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole. this is notjust _ when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole. this is notjust on - when we die. oh, my god. this is not hyperbole. this is notjust on them, i hyperbole. this is not “ust on them, it's from friends _ hyperbole. this is not “ust on them, it's from friends and — hyperbole. this is notjust on them, it's from friends and family - hyperbole. this is notjust on them, it's from friends and family we - hyperbole. this is notjust on them, it's from friends and family we are l it's from friends and family we are in touch with. i cannot overstress the situation. so when i hearfrom the situation. so when i hearfrom the government that they want to minimize the civilian casualties, i have to say to them, they are failing. the strategy of the uk government, america, and what they are essentially sanctioning, in the way israel is responding... israel has every right to respond, and if it was us, we would respond too, but how they respond is so important. because at the end of this, we want to get to a point where we don't see this kind of carnage ever again, and

we need to get a two state solution, that's what we have to aim for. and that's what we have to aim for. and before that. — that's what we have to aim for. and before that, you _ that's what we have to aim for. and before that, you are calling for a ceasefire? abs, before that, you are calling for a ceasefire?— before that, you are calling for a ceasefire? �* ., ., ., . ., , ceasefire? a humanitarian ceasefire. it's actually — ceasefire? a humanitarian ceasefire. it's actually not _ ceasefire? a humanitarian ceasefire. it's actually not dissimilar _ ceasefire? a humanitarian ceasefire. it's actually not dissimilar from - it's actually not dissimilar from what the government says... it's not dissimilar, but where i think we need it to be different, there needs to be political space to take the temperature down. we are seeing escalatory language from the israeli government at the moment. we need to take the temperature down and create space for the talk that will eventually lead to the ceasefire that i know so many in this country desperately want. that that i know so many in this country desperately want.— desperately want. that is the liberal democrat _ desperately want. that is the liberal democrat mp - desperately want. that is the liberal democrat mp layla i desperately want. that is the - liberal democrat mp layla moran, speaking to victoria derbyshire on the sunday with laura kuenssberg programme. under continuing grey skies, i can hear the sound of drones and israeli jets in the sky. we have been hearing again the continuing sound this morning of that bombardment of gaza under these grey skies, which at times are starting to really obliterate the

skyline. you can still see in the background, in fact you can hear as well, the sound of the drones in the sky... you can see the plumes of smoke that continue to rise over gaza. we can also show you the situation inside gaza, the refugee camp in khan younis, where so many people have moved from the north of gaza, have been told by the israeli military for their own safety that they need to move south. you can see they need to move south. you can see the scenes. so many people displaced in gaza at the moment, and this continuing intensification of the israeli military operation in gaza goes on. we are keeping you up—to—date with that story on bbc news, but if you take a look at the bbc news website as well, you will find a lot of content, a lot of in—depth stories and our live page which is being constantly updated all the time with all of the new details, all of the new lines on this story. it's a good place to go to keep following developments in
