2:50 pm
the gaza strip, more and more of the same scenario of evacuating and emptying the gaza strip after telling people about the safe areas that was frequently bombed and targeted. also, people from the east are told by the army to evacuate. after a year of genocide, more and more killing and bombing over people who are either displaced or tired of being displaced or tired of being displaced and finally found a place to sit in, like a school. 0r displacement and evacuation orders, this is the situation after a year of genocide. more and more displacement and more and more displacement and more and more displacement and more and more killing.— and more killing. many have made their— and more killing. many have made their place _ and more killing. many have made their place to - and more killing. many have made their place to where i and more killing. many have i made their place to where you are, which israel says is a dedicated humanitarian zone and a safe place. is there access to food where you are, to
2:51 pm
water? oursanitary to food where you are, to water? our sanitary conditions? israel said that the place we are in now is safe. they said that on the 13th of october 2023. the first time they told us to evacuate the north to the south, they marked the strip, the very small area about 1k square kilometres, that this place is safe and told nearly 2 million people to go to this place because they will be safe and have access to food and water. but after that the place was bombed several times, i can't count them, but each time resulted in a massacre killing tens of people. and the food and water, actually there is no access to food and water. the access to food and water. the access to food is limited, like only four months, maybe two
2:52 pm
months or three months and it is only some commercial food trucks, limited commercialfood trucks, limited commercial food trucks, limited commercialfood trucks that enter and only this. but if we are talking about securing food, securing water, hygiene and to build tense, people do not have access. another thing about this area, because it is a huge area,, this is a very small area,, this is a very small area, 1a square kilometres and most area is either like homes and some agricultural small private land for people who used to live in this area. thank you, speaking to us from a designated zone is a
2:53 pm
humanitarian zone. we have shown pictures from their and residents told to evacuate by the idf and they should head their as well. according to the idf, they are responding with great force to what is happening there and that residents should evacuate immediately. these are live pictures at the moment. we have a qr code there for you to scan and follow all the live updates we have on the bbc news website. let's update you on another story from the us. let's update you on another story from the us. florida is preparing its largest evacuation in seven years as the us prepares for the arrival of hurricane milton, which has now strengthened to a category 4 storm. it's forecast to make landfall on wednesday hitting the tampa bay area before making its way across to orlando. it's been just under two weeks since another
2:54 pm
devastating storm, hurricane helene hit florida, and forecasters say it's likely that some across six states at least 215 people died as a result of hurricane helene there is the need for water and power and a lot of these communities are completely cut off because of the infrastructure. we see roads and bridges washed away, and that will take time. crews are coming from all over the united states to lend a hand here. where there are houses and families concerned, that is very much a neighbour to neighbour event of helping each other. we saw families feeding each other throughout the weekend here, pulling out chainsaws and cutting up trees. and it is notjust in one
2:55 pm
community. you can drive for an hour and a half and see affected communities. this is impacting people's employment. in this community where we are, north carolina, not only homes are damaged but businesses are close which means people cannot go to work and earn a living. there is no money coming in and we have learned that thousands of children in the area will not be going to school this week and maybe not for several weeks. eight counties in this area have called off school indefinitely. and until they can get water into some of these areas, there will be no school, there will be no functioning businesses and some families and communities have learned that it will be at least four weeks until they have running water once again. a huge area is braced for hurricane milton which is intensifying rapidly, a story we will keep you up—to—date

with. a more autumnal flavour across the uk in the next few days. quite showery but mild for the time of year to begin with. a change in wind direction makes it feel colder by the end of the week. here and now it is all about low pressure out to the west and spiralling around this low pressure is a series of frontal systems. here is the most noticeable one clearing the far north of scotland, but a south—westerly flow driving in a rash of showers that will become heavy and widespread through the afternoon. if you dodge the showers and keep the sunshine, it is pleasantly one. 19 degrees not out of the question. by the early evening and into rush hour, we could see a line of intense showers, some with hail and thunder mixed in their moving out of the south—west, wales and the midlands as we go through the night. first thing tomorrow morning, cloudy and wet for
2:57 pm
some but a mile to start, fewer showers and single figures into the far north of scotland. that line of showers will continue to drift across the north of england and into the scottish borders. more showers piling on for the south—west and once again pushing further inland. we keep the showers theme for tuesday, but on the whole aim of that story, particularly down to the south—west. 18 or 19 degrees with the wind swinging around to a northerly and cooler in the far north of scotland. we need to have a look at hurricane kirk which will weaken across the cooler waters and lose its hurricane identity but will still be a significant area of low pressure. current thinking is still taking it to northern spain and france so we are going to miss the worst of it. but what kirk will do is it will change the wind direction and be responsible for introducing this northerly flow and turning colder. they could be a glancing blow across the
2:58 pm
channel islands and a rash of showers coming in from the north sea and the northerly wind starting to be felt across scotland. eight or 9 degrees here. still relatively mild across the south. it is from thursday onwards that we will notice the difference with the feel of the weather, a cooler wind and still plenty of showers to come.
