israel's intense bombardment of northern gaza has continued overnight. staff in a hospital in gaza city say it is impossible to evacuate terrified patients. and tributes for matthew perry, one of the stars of the hit tv show friends, who has died at the age of 5a. hello, and a very warm welcome to the programme. i'm sally bunn dog. we begin with the latest on the israel—gaza war where israel's bombardment of northern gaza has continued overnight into the morning. these are some of the latest pictures overlooking gaza city shows explosions in the distance and the noise of aircraft. heavy shelling had also been taking place near a key hospital
5:01 am
in gaza city. the palestinian red crescent in gaza says israel has told them to evacuate al-quds hospital, but it said this was impossible due to patients being in intensive care units. israel hasn't confirmed the order, but a military spokesperson said that they had killed what he called �*dozens of terrorists�* during bombing of the territory — including senior commanders of hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk, us and other governments. our international editor jeremy bowen is in southern israel and sent this report. 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's 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 flour, no water, not even toilets. "our houses were destroyed, no—one 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 weren't in need." translation: we need fresh water. _ we need food. we are starving. this is totally unfair. our children can't sleep. further north in gaza city, after patients and staff refused israel's

order to evacuate al-quds hospital, the wards filled with smoke as buildings nearby were hit. only a few miles away, in sderot, the closest israeli town to gaza, a sense of grim determination has replaced the panic of the first few days after the hamas attacks. eyal hajbi, sderot�*s head of security, said his nephew and some of his team were killed by hamas. a visiting general, nimrod aloni, was greeted like a man back from the dead. on october 7, hamas made the false claim that they had captured aloni and taken him into gaza. hajbi said 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 if palestinian civilians suffered, it was not israel's fault.
5:04 am
translation: we allowed them to come 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 war with hamas and islamichhad, this needs to be a story that ends here. "our eyes were closed," he said, "and we lost everything." israel's dead are still being identified. hajbi says he can't face any more funerals. night and day, israel's ground war to destroy hamas gathers pace. it is reverberating around the region. the risks of a wider middle east war remain. jeremy bowen, bbc news in southern israel. our correspondent rushdi abualouf has also been reporting from gaza. he gave us an update on the situation around

decided. hello there. it's going to stay very unsettled across the uk as we head through this week with low pressure still very much in charge. so, long spells of rain, heavy, thundery downpours. the winds are likely to pick up at times. and we'll also see, on wednesday night into thursday, our third named storm of the season, storm ciaran, named by the met office on sunday. and those rainfall totals are really going to start to stack up again as we head through the next five days — you can see all the blues on our rainfall accumulation chart here. more wet weather for flood—stricken areas, such as eastern parts of scotland, too. now, low pressure is centred out towards the west of ireland, just sending bands of showers swirling around. it should be a largely dry start to the day across scotland, but it is quite a chilly one and it's still quite breezy for many, particularly towards the channel coast. but the winds are certainly lightening as we head throughout the day. now, the heaviest of the showers on monday will tend to be across northern ireland. we could start to see some localised flooding, maybe, as those rainfall totals stack up. also, some more heavy showers across western wales,
5:27 am
the southwest of england towards channel coast, too, just drifting further northwards and eastwards. further east, largely dry. and for scotland, the lion's share of the sunshine north of the central belt. but here, the air is going to feel chillier. now, on tuesday, again, scotland, still a welcome respite from all of that rain. it should stay largely dry and sunny. a few isolated showers in the north. elsewhere, out towards the west, we will see some showers, some brighter spells and a warm front starts to creep into southwest wales and southwest england by the end of the day on tuesday. temperatures again 9—15 degrees celsius. now, that warm front will track further northwards and eastwards as we head through tuesday night and into wednesday, bringing with it widespread heavy rain and some strong, gusty winds as well. and some of that rain in the chillier air across the highlands will be turning to snow. just take a look at that easterly wind piling all of that rain onshore into aberdeenshire yet again. it's windy out towards the west here. further south, we're expecting some showers. temperatures again 9 to 15 degrees. but of more concern than the weather on wednesday is going to be the weather on thursday. now, this is storm ciaran.
5:28 am
it's a very deep area of low pressure. you can see the tight squeeze on the isobars here. gusts of wind towards channel coasts on wednesday night and into thursday could get as high as perhaps 80—90mph, even inland 50—60mph gusts. there'll also be widespread heavy rain along with those damaging winds, so do keep an eye on the forecast. bye—bye for now.
