1:00 pm
as thousands of residents break in to warehouses for food and other basic items. very sadly, people are getting frustrated. they're getting hungry as the siege, the three—week—long siege, continues. israel is continuing with its military operation — moving more tanks and infantry into gaza. 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 and welcome. i'm maryam moshiri. the united nations�* relief agency for palestinians — unwra — has warned that civil order is starting to collapse in the gaza strip.
1:01 pm
it comes after warehouses containing flour and other basic supplies were ransacked by thousands of people. the international red cross is warning that no adequate humanitarian response is now possible in gaza, which it describes as a "catastrophic failing". israel had said egypt and the us would be expanding humanitarian aid into gaza today. but egypt has blamed delays on israel's inspection regime. it comes as the israel defense forces continue their ground offensive in gaza, entering what they say is the second stage of the war. the idf say they've targeted a50 military targets belonging to hamas, designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments, after moo israelis were killed in hamas raids on southern israel, on october 7th and more than 220 taken hostage. phone and internet communications are gradually returning to gaza, after being cut off by israel as it began its ground operation.
1:02 pm
there's a warning from iran of the conflict widening: its president, ebrahim raisi, saying what he calls �*israel�*s crimes�* may force everyone to take action, despite us warnings against escalation. this is the scene live in gaza. you can see plumes of smoke in the background in the middle of the day. hamas health officials say more than 8,000 people have now been killed since israel launched its offensive. we'll bring you up to date with all of the latest developments in the next hour — but we begin our coverage with this report by our middle east correspondent yolande knell. 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 will be difficult and long,
1:03 pm
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, |
1:04 pm
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.
1:05 pm
the palestinian red crescent says israeli officials have issued a warning to immediately evacuate the al-quds hospital in northern gaza. it is treating about 500 patients, including babies in incubators. nibal farsakh, spokesperson for the palestine red crescent society, in the west bank, told us more about the hospital evacuation warning. two israeli threats demanding immediate evacuation for al-quds hospital because it will be bombarded. israel authorities also told the palestine red crescent that we will be responsible for the safety of the people who are inside the hospital. although we have told them repeatedly over media channels and called on the international community that we will not evacuate
1:06 pm
because we don't have the means to evacuate over 500 patients who are many of them in a critical condition, many are in the intensive care unit. we have children and babies in incubators so absolutely evacuating our patients means risking their lives. not only us who have said that, even the who has announced that evacuation of hospitals are impossible to implement and they constitute a death penalty for patients. we are now extremely worried regarding the safety of our medical teams, staff in the hospital. the safety of our patients as well as the safety of over 14,000 palestinian civilians who have took refuge inside the hospital, most of them are children and women. they thought that they might be in a safe place since they are in a hospital, specifically that they have no other option or no other place to go
1:07 pm
since intense bombardments are taking place all over gaza and they have been forced to evacuate their homes and they don't even have any choice or being able to evacuate themselves to the south, so the only option for them was only to seek refuge to the nearest hospital and now all of them are under that threat of being bombed at any second due to this serious israeli threat for al-quds hospital. the head of the world health organization has expressed alarm about the israeli warning to evacuate al quds hospital. writing on x — formerly twitter — tedros adhanom ghebreyesus says the report of evacuation threats to the hospital "is deeply concerning". he goes on to say "we reiterate — it's impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives.
1:08 pm
live now to our correspondent in southern they have also been reports of the intensification of bombardment. live now to our correspondent in southern israel, anna foster. what else do we know about this intensification of the attack on gaza? i know about this intensification of the attack on gaza?— know about this intensification of the attack on gaza? i can tell you about what _ the attack on gaza? i can tell you about what i _ the attack on gaza? i can tell you about what i have _ the attack on gaza? i can tell you about what i have seen _ the attack on gaza? i can tell you about what i have seen and - the attack on gaza? i can tell you i about what i have seen and heard the attack on gaza? i can tell you i about what i have seen and heard in the last hour or so. we have seen a step up in leaving southern israel here into gaza. we are close to an israeli artillery point and heard a lot of loud fire going out. we can see multiple plumes of smoke rising above gaza, white smoke and dark smoke, and as i am speaking, we are
1:09 pm
hearing different fire. a fire, some loud explosions, a combination of mortar and artillery shells and the occasional planes overhead. but what we're seeing in the past or so is what certainly looks and feels like another intensification. they stepped up on friday evening, we saw the ground troops moving into gaza, artillery and infantry troops operating on the ground inside gaza. and benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister describes it as a second stage of the war and we are hearing a lot more ground activity now inside gaza. find hearing a lot more ground activity now inside gaza.— now inside gaza. and when we're talkin: now inside gaza. and when we're talking about _ now inside gaza. and when we're talking about a _ now inside gaza. and when we're talking about a second _ now inside gaza. and when we're talking about a second stage, - now inside gaza. and when we're i talking about a second stage, what other details do we talking about a second stage, what other details do w— talking about a second stage, what other details do we havethis is what has been long _ other details do we havethis is what has been long referred _ other details do we havethis is what has been long referred to _ other details do we havethis is what has been long referred to as - other details do we havethis is what has been long referred to as a - has been long referred to as a ground operation inside gaza. rather
1:10 pm
thanjust bombarding ground operation inside gaza. rather than just bombarding from the air and sea, or israeli troops are physically inside with their boots on the ground, inside gaza, and they have released new videos in the past hour or so showing tanks we have seen even in the past ten minutes passing behind me in this position here, they have showed armoured vehicles working inside gaza and i think that is what the second stage will look like. this call, the repeated call from the israel defense forces for people in the north of gaza gaza, civilians moving south, that seems to be part of the military strategy to move people south. and this is the... is a appearing and very difficult to say that they may start in the north and
1:11 pm
gradually move further south, targeting the hamas infrastructure and they talked about underground targets and a tunnel network. there are also specific targets as well, the hospital in gaza just a couple of days ago and the israel defense forces putting forward evidence hamas has operational headquarters storing weapons and various other things under the hospital. and you are referring in the past three minutes to that warning that has come from al-quds hospital. we had in the red crescent society saying they were told to evacuate that hospital. we had again as the bombardment has intensified, suggestions from inside gaza that there is an intensified bombardment in the area around the hospital but israeli troops have made it very clear and benjamin netanyahu has made it clear they will do what they need to do to entirely eradicate hamas inside gaza. find
1:12 pm

1:14 pm
evacuating. there could be a new front opening up in this war there. but we have also seen again attacks by uranium properties on us troops based in north—east syria and iraq, missiles appearing to have been fired by rebels in yemen in the direction of israel, and the simmering tensions are causing huge diplomatic concerns which is why we are seeing the us move their aircraft carriers into this area and so much diplomatic work behind the scenes because there are real concerns this could escalate and become a wider regional war. thank ou ve become a wider regional war. thank you very much. _ become a wider regional war. thank you very much, anna _ become a wider regional war. thank you very much, anna foster - become a wider regional war. thank you very much, anna foster our - you very much, anna foster our correspondent in southern israel. these are live shots within it gaza, two big blasts with the past few minutes as we were talking to anna about the intensification of the bombing by israel of gaza
