as thousands of residents break in to warehouses for food and other basic items. people are getting frustrated. they are getting hungry, as the three—week—long siege continues. israel is continuing with its military operation — moving more tanks and infantry into gaza. jordan's foreign minister warns the world must act now. if we allow this war to continue, then not only have we failed our international standards, but we've failed the right of all our peoples to live in peace, and i think all of us need to take a deep pause and say that we all have failed the palestinian people, the israeli people. 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. we start in gaza, where the united nations�* relief agency for palestinians — unwra — has warned that civil order is starting to collapse, after three weeks of israeli bombardment. 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". these are the very latest pictures from the israel defense forces of their ongoing ground offensive in gaza, what they describe as 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.

it's in retaliation for the 1,400 israelis killed in hamas raids on southern israel on october the seventh, in which more than 220 were taken hostage. 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. the bombing of gaza has continued and you can see thick plumes of smoke in the background. if anything, it has intensified over the last few hours. hamas health officials say more than 8,000 people have now been killed since israel launched its offensive. in the past hour, jordan's foreign minister has told us that israel must respect the international rule of law. we'll bring you up to date with all of the latest developments. we start with this report from our correspondent in jerusalem, wyre davies. a warning — his piece contains images some may find distressing.

gaza is cut off from the outside world in more ways than one. after a communication blackout, some links with gaza are gradually being restored, revealing the full picture of israel's so—called second phase of the war against hamas. across gaza, but particularly in northern areas around gaza city, the devastating impact of israeli air strikes means the search for survivors among ruined buildings and homes is almost futile. israel says it now has troops, commanders and tanks on the ground in gaza, targeting specific hamas infrastructure, including the network of tunnels under gaza and eliminating named hamas leaders, who israel says were responsible for the atrocities of october 7th. translation: we will gradually expand the ground operation - and scale of forces in the gaza strip. it is complex and involves risk for ourforces, too.

we will do everything in our power, from the air, sea and ground, to ensure the safety of our forces and to achieve the war�*s objectives. the united nations and other aid agencies say the needs of gaza's 2.1 million residents are critical. it says there are 600,000 internally displaced people who fled from the bombing in the north towards towns in the south, where resources are scarce. while israel today played down the scale of the crisis, insisting that food and water supplies were adequate, desperate families have even been looting food storage facilities and un warehouses. in one week, we only had 80 trucks, eight—zero trucks, just about 80, right? 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. israel has rejected some international calls for a ceasefire to allow the creation of an aid corridor, but says it will allow some more regular aid in through the rafah crossing with egypt. fuel will not be on the list, as israel says it will be stolen by hamas. israel's prime minister maintains that the military objectives of this war are his number one priority. but in addition to those international concerns, there's an important domestic audience, too, worried about what increased military activity in gaza might actually mean. mr netanyahu met this weekend with the families of the more than 220 hostages — israelis and foreigners — still being held captive by hamas in gaza. he promised to exhaust every possibility to bring their loved ones home. and while many israelis support the government's military aims, some of the families say it's time to make a deal.

there have been many conflicts between israel and hamas in and around gaza in the last two decades. this is, by some distance, the biggest and most costly. it's the war that israel says it must see through to its conclusion, knowing the number of casualties will inevitably keep going up. wyre davis, bbc news, jerusalem. i just wanted to show you again the latest video relesed the latest video released by the israel defense forces. they say it's footage of their ground offensive in gaza. it shows tanks and other vehicles and troops on foot inside the gaza strip. we are trying to verify the location shown in the video. we can't verify this but they say it is inside the gaza strip. this is what the idf says. it also published these photos of its tanks

which the idf says are taking part in the ground operations — again we're trying to verify the location of those, too. let's get more now from our diplomatic correspondent paul adams who's in jerusalem. paul, just seeing those pictures of what the idf are saying is a ground offensive in gaza. how difficult will it be for us to verify what is happening, and if it is happening, what does it mean? i happening, and if it is happening, what does it mean?— what does it mean? i think it is re what does it mean? i think it is pretty clear _ what does it mean? i think it is pretty clear the _ what does it mean? i think it is pretty clear the areas - what does it mean? i think it is pretty clear the areas where i what does it mean? i think it is| pretty clear the areas where the israeli defence forces are operating. they are right in the north—western corner of the gaza strip, where the border with israel lies. there is evidence that they have pushed in quite a short distance there, and we also know from our colleagues down near sderot, a little bit further around the border, that some of those tanks have been seen operating inside that area too. that is quite an open area, and it is a little distance before you get to any built—up

areas, as you start to approach the kind of urban area of gaza city. there are some alkaline communities which in the past have always been the first to get severely damaged when it is troops moving. i think you will probably see that happening again this time. but at the moment, those operations are relatively small scale. —— some outlying communities. they have yet to approach any really built—up areas. if they do end up approaching really built up areas, that is when things could potentially start changing? yes, and that is why you keep hearing there is really military spokespeople urging the palestinians in gaza to leave. they started making those demands a week or more ago. they have been getting more and more urgent. we had them again yesterday from the main military spokesman. really insistent that the window of opportunity for people to

leave gaza was closing, and his words. but we know there are still tens of thousands, may more civilians you have nothing to do with a mass, who are still in that whole built—up area, both in gaza city and the adjoining areas, including one or two refugee camps. —— nothing to do at hamas. they don't want to leave their homes, they are frightened of the consequences, and they have heard reports from the cell suggesting it is just as dangerous down there, so many suggesting in a kind of fatalistic way, they are determined to sit it out. some people are those who have left their homes but are huddled around some of the hospitals in the gaza area. we have heard the israelis talking about sheaffer hospital, which is the largest, saying they have evidence which shows that hamas has all kinds of bunkers beneath the hospital. —— shifa hospital. and they have also

talked about there being hamas activity at the al quds hospital. all of these things are causing great alarm, and i think the israelis don't want to move into gaza any earlier than they have to do, but they hope that the relentless pressure and these warnings were ultimately clear the way. whether that works, it is hard to know. ., ., ., , to know. for those who have played into the south, _ to know. for those who have played into the south, there _ to know. for those who have played into the south, there is _ to know. for those who have played into the south, there is a _ into the south, there is a continuing crisis in terms of food, water and basic supplies. we have been hearing that there have been people trying to get into warehouses, stealing or taking foods for themselves and their families, and there is worry, for the un that there is a lot of control within gaza. because people are desperate. —— worry for the un agencies that there is a loss of control. it is hardly surprising, _ there is a loss of control. it is hardly surprising, we - there is a loss of control. it 3 hardly surprising, we are looking there is a loss of control. it 1 hardly surprising, we are looking at more than three weeks now of the heaviest bombardment gaza has ever known. there is a shortage of food, water, a sense of panic. you have

huge numbers of people who have moved from the north to the south, making the self even more concentrated than it is normally. the whole of the gaza strip is a basket case at the best of times, and we are now looking at places where there are just huge numbers of people, many camped outside, many pretty desperate for food and water, and i think the un's view that is entirely unsurprising that we are seeing a gradual breaking down of law and order. this radius, i should say, did a briefing this morning in which they said... —— the israelis. it is almost hard to believe this, but they said there's no shortage of food and there is adequate or to buy humanitarian purposes. that is a message that is obviously at complete variance with what un agencies are saying,. —— adequate waterfor humanitarian agencies are saying,. —— adequate water for humanitarian purposes. agencies are saying,. —— adequate waterfor humanitarian purposes. but the israelis were quite adamant this is not as bad as some agencies would like you to believe. talk

is not as bad as some agencies would like you to believe.— like you to believe. talk to me about the _ like you to believe. talk to me about the hostage _ like you to believe. talk to me about the hostage situation. i like you to believe. talk to me i about the hostage situation. let's not forget our 230 hostages, i believe, still in gaza. —— lets not forget there are. there was talk of some potential deal in the offing, but that seems to have gone away. i think none of this is quite serviced and quite gone away. yesterday, you are right, we had this strange coincidence of one hand, benjamin netanyahu being asked byjournalists at a press conference are you in favour of a swap, release palestinian prisoners held in israeli jails for the hostages? and mr netanyahu said he didn't dismiss that altogether, but that it was unwise to talk about it publicly. a short time afterwards, in his first public pronouncement at all since this crisis began, the head of hamas in gaza, yahya al—sinwar, put out a statement saying he was willing to do exactly that kind of deal. does

that mean that a deal is imminent? 0r that mean that a deal is imminent? or in the offing? wejust that mean that a deal is imminent? or in the offing? we just don't know. clearly, there are a lot of people, including the gulf state of qatar, who are working very hard behind the scene is trying to engineer something like this. there are many people, many israelis, who really would like to see hostages released report the military campaign in gaza gets any more intense. and obviously, foreign governments want to see their own national is released as part of any prisoner or hostage swap, so there is an enormous amount of pressure on mr netanyahu to do that, but it was quite noticeable last night that he said that his two goals at the moment where one, to defeat hamas, and secondly, to secure the release of hostages. and secondly, to secure the release of hostages-— of hostages. paul, thank you very much. of hostages. paul, thank you very much- paul _ of hostages. paul, thank you very much. paul adams _ of hostages. paul, thank you very much. pauladams in _ of hostages. paul, thank you very much. paul adams in jerusalem l much. paul adams in jerusalem therefore much. paul adams injerusalem therefore is. the palestinian red crescent says israeli officials have issued a warning to immediately evacuate the al-quds hospital in northern gaza. it's 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. to serious israeli threats demanding immediate evacuation for al quds hospital because it will be bombarded. —— two serious threats. it operators 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, we have also announced repeatedly, we have also announced repeatedly over video channels and called on the international community that we will not evacuate, because we don't have the means to evacuate over 500 patients who are, many of them in critical conditions. many are in the intensive care units. we have children in incubators, babies in incubators, so absolutely, evacuating our patients

means risking their lives, not only is people who have said that, even the who has announced the evacuation of others for hospitals are impossible to implement and constitute a death penalty for patients. we are now extremely worried regarding the safety of our medical teams, staff in the hospitals, the safety of our patients, as well as the safety of over ia,000 palestinian civilians over ia, 000 palestinian civilians who over ia,000 palestinian civilians who have sought refugee inside the hospital, most of them are children and women. they might be in a state, they are in a hospital, specifically that they have no other option or place to go, since bombardments are taking place all over gaza, and they have been forced to evacuate their homes, and they don't even have any shoes or being able to evacuate

themselves to the south, so the only option for them was only two seek refuge in the nearest hospital, and out all of them are under the threat of being bombed at any second due to this serious israeli threat for al quds hospital. the head of the world health organisation 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. "under international humanitarian law, healthcare must "always be protected." my my colleague lyse doucet reporting

from jerusalem. she asked whether they agree that there is a glaring double standard in the west over the deaths of civilians. we double standard in the west over the deaths of civilians.— deaths of civilians. we say that international _ deaths of civilians. we say that international law _ deaths of civilians. we say that international law has _ deaths of civilians. we say that international law has to - deaths of civilians. we say that international law has to be - international law has to be applicable to all. no country is above — applicable to all. no country is above the _ applicable to all. no country is above the law. we all have to come out strongly, thermally, on the side of the _ out strongly, thermally, on the side of the charter of the united nations _ of the charter of the united nations. the international law. —— firmly _ on the side of our our humanity. we've seen a resolution adopted by the general assembly after jordan presented one on behalf of the arab group. that resolution was supported by the majority of people on this earth. if you count the numbers, that's a step in the right direction. we need all of us to come and say, international law has to apply equally and fairly. no life is of lesser value than the other.

we value jewish life, we value israeli life, we value palestinian life. and we hope everybody will come from this moral ground. and we say, and everybody says, that life matters no matter what the nationality, what the religion, what the race is. and again, make sure that everybody is convinced that international law applies to all. but are you deeply disappointed by your key allies, including the united states, britain, other western states, who very publicly came to israel and said they are on israel's side in this war? you know, at least what we told everybody is, like, support israel. but you would not supporting israel by supporting this war. you support israel by supporting peace, because only peace will bring the security and safety to every palestinian and every israeli. supporting this war is only going to push this region deeper into the abyss, carries the risk of regional war. and lyce, how many wars have we had before? how many violent operations have we had before? if we want to defeat the narrative of violence, we have to offer

a narrative that convinces people that you have your right to a life free from occupation, free from oppression within you and what's standing between you. and that is violence. unfortunately, we haven't seen that. we have seen the palestinian issue reduced to a question of creating a job here or a job there, thinking that you canjump over the palestinian issue to make peace in the region, which is a fallacy as events have sadly and terribly shown us. but that is the lesson for all. what we want injordan, what we want in the arab world is for... palestinians to live in peace. that war is not helping. only peace would do that. and again, prevent us from being creating peace again. president erdogan of turkey has said that hamas is not a terrorist organization. do you agree? look, i think nobody's going to benefit from characterisations.

everybody stands where they are. right now, everybody is navigating different... do you agree with israel's war aims to destroy hamas? aims this time to destroy hamas? jordan has had its own problems with hamas. lyse, we have to ask the question what are the conditions that produce hamas? unless we change those conditions, the same conditions, the same misery will produce hamas. what we're trying to say, let us convince all people on both sides that the adoption of violence as a strategy, as a means to get the peace is the wrong way. let us offer people an alternative. and then people themselves, palestinians and israelis, will come and say, "we don't want violence because peace negotiations "are getting us what we want, which is a life of decency, a life "of safety, a life of promise." but we need to anchor things in realities. and again, let me be very clear, if i may, here. putting things in context is not

in any wayjustification. we're notjustifying what happened on october seven, no human being will. but at the same token, no human being willjustify what's happening in gaza now. so let's be clear. let's put things in context. learn from why we are facing this terrible moment in our very sad and tragic history in this part of the world, and all work together and say, "enough, enough, enough," and move forward to a stage and follow an approach that is peaceful, that will bring peace to all. the jordanian foreign minister talking thejordanian foreign minister talking to my colleague lyse doucet there. that was ayman safadi. we have heard so many descriptions of how difficult things are, crisis could, catastrophe, not only in the north but in the south where people have been told to move to. our gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf sent us this update

from khan younis in the south of gaza. a lot of criticism by palestinians over the israeli threats to target the medical centres or, you know, medical centres are suffering gravely from the shortage of fuel, shortage of medicine and shortage of life—saving kits. and the director of the hospital said that they are not going to leave the hospital and they will remain there. there were about ten, 11 air strikes around the hospital targeting buildings and roads and make it difficult for the hospitals to operate and rescue any of the injured. here in southern gaza, where about a third of the population are living in the area that israel asks the people to leave, people are still struggling with the crisis. it is in the neck of the people. people struggling to find water, struggling to find food. electricity is down for about three or four weeks now. the hospital here, nasser hospital, this is the second

largest hospital in gaza. and now serving over half of the population, is struggling to cope with the situation. most of its departments are shut except the operation room and the emergency services. and they said we might have to even shut this. and half of the population will be left without a medical centre. as always, there is more on that story on the bbc�*s website and use that where ever you are in the world. —— news app. in other news, tributes are being paid to the friends actor matthew perry, who's died at the age of 5a. the star — who played chandler bing in the globally successful sitcom, which was one of the biggest shows of the 90s and noughties — was found dead at his los angeles home. our arts and entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. each of friends' six stars brought unique characteristics to the show. matthew perry's chandler was the funny one. someone at work ate my sandwich. well, what did the police say?

i'm sorry, we don't have your sheep. i went to that tanning place your wife suggested. was that place the sun? supremely talented at delivering sometimes self—aware one—liners. i'm chandler, i makejokes when i'm uncomfortable. i'm not great at the advice. can i interest you in a sarcastic comment? but during his time on the comedy hit, he was struggling with addiction between the end of one season and the start of the next. losing more than 20 kilos, something he often spoke candidly about. it became a very public issue, which in hindsight was quite good. i mean, i'm happy that it was because it ultimately helped me in the long run because i had to go through those struggles publicly, i get to help a lot more people. in the early hours of this morning, us media reported that the actor had

been found dead in his hot tub. the los angeles police department confirmed to the bbc that a man in his 50s was unresponsive in a water emergency at perry's home. we go way back before monica made an honest man... among those paying tribute have been maggie wheeler, who played janice, a previous girlfriend of chandler's. she said... i got her machine. her answering machine? interestingly enough her leaf blower picked up. with roles spanning tv and film, matthew perry's career was more than just friends, but chandler bing is the role that will define him for millions. the "friends" actor matthew perry, who's died at the age of 5a. stay with us here on bbc news.
