international agencies have expressed concern about reports of an israeli evacuation order for a key hospital in northern gaza. they've warned that evacuating the site is impossible. it's treating hundreds of people, some of whom are chronically ill. around 14,000 gazans are also reported to be sheltering there. both the world health organization and international federation of the red cross have raised deep alarm over the evacuation order, saying hospitals must be protected. there are unconfirmed reports of air strikes about 20 metres from the al-quds facility. these images show smoke billowing from what appears to be a strike nearby. and this footage shows staff and patients struggling to breathe because of smoke inside the hospital. it also shows damage to windows, after what the palestinian red crescent described as a "very intense bombardment around the hospital", with one rocket falling "only metres away". the al-quds hospital is in northern gaza — the focus of the israeli military�*s

operation against hamas. israel's military has reiterated its call for civilians in northern gaza to evacuate to the south. marwanjilani is the director general of the palestine red crescent society and he told us his fears about a strike on the al-quds hospital. the area around the hospital has been bombed from the air, intensively. as i said, the bombardment has been ongoing until about half an hour ago. and of course, we are worried, you know, that these rockets will destroy the hospital and will kill. with14,000 people inside the hospital, it's going to be a massacre. so we are afraid. we are horrified by the potential that this could really happen. and we don't know what to do. we are calling upon the international community to put pressure on israel to rescind this order and to respect the medical mission of the palestine red crescent society.

an israeli army spokesperson gave a press conference a few hours ago and called for people in the north of gaza to move south. translation: they are continuing to assess the situation _ and expanding things gradually, based on our plans, in order to achieve the objectives of this war. the ground force is... the ground campaign is extremely complex. we will do everything possible — from the sea, air and from the ground — in order to ensure that our troops will be safe. we are calling upon the northern gazans to evacuate temporarily to the south, for your own safety. and we are stressing that. we are calling upon you urgently to do so. just below the gazan river, the conditions will be so much better.

there is water, food and medication there. the israel defense forces release these pictures of their offensive in gaza, you can see tanks and ground troops. they described this as a second stage of the war. the idf say they have hit a50 military targets belonging to hamas. hamas designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments. it is in retaliation for the i,a00 israelis killed in hamas raids on southern israel on the 7th of october. united nations relief agency for palestinians is warning that civil order is starting to collapse in gaza after three weeks of israeli bombardment. warehouses containing flower and other basic supplies have been ransacked by thousands of people. and these are the live pictures, the live feed coming into the bbc showing the darkness of

gaza. we have been monitoring this feed for weeks and now we are keeping across any developments for you. we will get the latest now from our international editorjeremy bowen in southern israel. people are living in the ruins in gaza. the israelis insist that they hit hamas targets who use civilians as human shields. america said it has sent israel another reminder that hamas are legitimate military targets and civilians are not. in gaza, the un fears civil order is breaking down. its food warehouses in the south were looted. the desperation comes from israel's siege, which the un says violates the laws of war because it is a collective punishment of civilians. thousands of people ransacked the warehouses. israel says there is no food

shortage in gaza. he is saying, we have no water, not even toilets, our houses were destroyed, knowing cares about us. we appeal to the people of the world, the big powers are against us. we need aid, we wouldn't have done this if we were not in need. translation: ~ , ., translation: we need fresh water we need food, translation: we need fresh water we need food. we — translation: we need fresh water we need food, we are _ translation: we need fresh water we need food, we are starving. _ translation: we need fresh water we need food, we are starving. this - translation: we need fresh water we need food, we are starving. this is - need food, we are starving. this is totally unfair. our children can't sleep. totally unfair. our children can't slee. , ., totally unfair. our children can't slee. , . ., , totally unfair. our children can't slee. , . . , . sleep. israel hit targets near al-quds hospital _ sleep. israel hit targets near al-quds hospital in - sleep. israel hit targets near al-quds hospital in gaza - sleep. israel hit targets nearl al-quds hospital in gaza city. patients and staff had refused in order to evacuate. the red cross red crescent said the lives of civilians and medics should be protected. only females away in sderot, a grim determination has replaced the panic of a few days earlier after the attacks. —— only miles. the head of

security of sderot said his nephew and some of his team were killed by hamas. a visiting general was greeted like a man back from the dead. on the 7th of october, hamas made the false claim that they had captured him and taken him into gaza. they were all still trying to process the horror of what happened. the security chief took me on a tour of sderot�*s defences. hamas, he said, had hit them hard. the equation had to change and of penicillin civilians suffered, it was not israel's fault. translation: was not israel's fault. tuna/mom- was not israel's fault. translation: ., ., ., was not israel's fault. translation: ~ ., ., ., translation: we allowed them to come and work in israel _ translation: we allowed them to come and work in israel and _ translation: we allowed them to come and work in israel and we _ translation: we allowed them to come and work in israel and we thought - and work in israel and we thought this would help the ordinary people of gaza. we thought a good economy would bring some peace, but now we know that only security brings peace. after 20 rounds of walk with hamas and islamichhad, this needs to be a story that ends here. fiur

tonight, israel is pushing hard towards the hospital itself, huge smoke and dust affecting the people inside, about 13,000 people trapped inside, about 13,000 people trapped inside the hospital. they are taking the hospital as refuge, fleeing from the hospital as refuge, fleeing from the shelling around that place. the director of the hospital said that they have received four calls. the last one was tonight from the israeli army asking the people inside the hospital to leave, about 1a,000 people, and 100 patients, eight of them were in the intensive care unit. they said it is almost impossible to leave the hospital. our thanks for that. a quick look now at the military operation. we can speak to a retired luzerne in general and independent events consultant for national security operations ranging from humanitarian relief to major regional conflicts. biased him to give me his assessment of what he has seen so far. —— i

asked him. well, i think it's important to realise that israel's military operations are being integrated across all war—fighting domains, air, sea, space, cyber, as well as information, so it is a multi—domain effort. and what people are calling phase two or ground operations, i would tell you that ground operations may become more prominent, but air operations are going to continue throughout this campaign. and in fact, a primary role of ground operations will be to gather intelligence about hamas's tunnels, their rockets, their command and control and other keynotes. and then those will be destroyed from the air. so in this sense, ground operations are supporting the air campaign. i see, and in terms of the strategy, the planning, how much intelligence will they have

on the exact locations of the hamas leadership that they want to take out? well, it's an excellent question and that's one of the reasons that you see probing ground operations. because it's difficult to ascertain just exactly where hamas leadership is located unless you can get inside those urban areas and identify where the entrances to the tunnels are and use other means to identify specifically where they're at. and that's why they're going in on the ground. well, let's talk about those tunnels, they have taken a lot of focus. what exactly are these ground forces doing when they locate them? are they going to go into them and all the risks that go with that, or is it a case of destroying the entrances to them? well, those exact details are answers to questions that the israeli defense forces

will keep very close hold. but you identified one of the reasons that you've got to go in there on the ground because many of these entrances are located inside other buildings. for example, i just listened to your prior piece that talked about the largest hospital in gaza. hamas's major command and control centre is located directly underneath that hospital, so to find out exactly where the entrances and exits are located, the israeli defense forces will have to go there and then point them out. what they do with that information is the question that you're asking and, quite frankly, that depends on the exact military objective for that particular tunnel entrance and what it leads to. paul adams, in jerusalem. paul gave us his latest assessment.

i think we are where we have been for the last couple of days, which is in the early stages of a ground operation that may be sustained. it's really only confined to a very small area of the north—western tip of the gaza strip, but it is inevitably going to expand, as the israeli army feels that it is able to move forward and tackle some of the targets that it has clearly set for itself from the beginning of this campaign. the air campaign will continue, they clearly feel that they have a great deal that they can still do from the air. we're not privy to any of this planning, we don't know for example what was being hit near the al-quds hospital in gaza today that caused such panic, but that is part of an ongoing israeli aerial effort up and down the gaza strip which is maintaining the pressure obviously on hamas, but also continuing to make life intolerable for more than 2 million civilians. and on the issue of aid, just ten trucks

believed to have gone in today. aid agencies saying it's still nowhere near enough. no, absolutely. i mean, normally, they would expect hundreds of trucks to pass every day. and since the start of this, first of all, we had a couple of weeks with no aid going in at all and since then, ten, 15, 20 trucks a day, not much more than 100 in total so far. so an absolutely tiny proportion of what is needed. i note that this evening, following a conversation between joe biden and benjamin netanyahu, american officials are saying that the us president has urged israel's leader to increase the amount of aid it permits to enter the gaza strip, possibly to the region of around 100 trucks. that would obviously be an improvement, but it is still not enough to address what has become

a really mounting and serious humanitarian crisis, where we've seen people breaking into un warehouses, trying to find what food they can, in a kind of breaking down of law and order. thanks so much for that. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. rail operator avanti west coast says it's cancelling around 20 services between london euston and manchester piccadilly every saturday until the end of the year. the operator had announced plans to scrap two in five of the trains on the route from early december, but the bbc understands that the reduced timetable will in fact start immediately. avanti is blaming a shortage of crew because of ongoing industrial disputes. )coastguards are searching for a man off the somerset coast, after he entered the water to try to save a woman and her dog who'd been swept in. the coastguard was called to burnham on sea at about a

mahmoud bassam is one of the journalists inside gaza reporting the tragedy for the bbc. his images, a daily record of a people's agony. he said that as hard as what he saw and as much as he tried to deliver the message he's trying to deliver, sometimes from behind the camera, he would stand and cry and the only thing that he would do is just being silent. more than 1.a million people have fled their homes. such shelter as they can find is rudimentary. access to the basic essentials of life, severely restricted. translation: we've reached a state where we wish we'd i died under the rubble, just to find some rest. our life is torture.
