where we'll bring you a full hour of live news and analysis from here in the us, the uk, and around the world. the us ambassador to the un says they are watching israel's actions in gaza — to make sure they don't have a "policy of starvation" in the northern part of the strip. she made the remarks to the un security council. israel has denied previous accusations that its military is surrounding parts of the north and preventing food aid from getting through. it comes as trucks carrying humanitarian aid enter the war—torn region for the third day in a row — following a two—week period when the united nations said no aid had entered northern gaza. the deliveries follow a warning from the us it would cut military support to israel if it didn't boost aid efforts in the strip. wyre davies is following all of these developments from jerusalem. the last three days, there's been a significant and small increase in the amount of aid in northern gaza,

perhaps as a response to the very strongly worded letter from the american secretary of state and the american secretary of state and the american defence secretary outlining the fact that israel's military offensive in gaza was having unacceptable humanitarian consequences. about 50 trucks have gonein consequences. about 50 trucks have gone in through the air is crossing in northern gaza. —— erez. it's way less than the 500 trucks are so a day that are needed. but israel says it is sending an aide, it accuses hamas and other groups sometimes of stealing that aid, but clearly not enough is getting in. the united nations is again said the situation in northern gaza is completely unlivable at the minute. we've heard more accusations and criticism from some of israel's closest allies. the americans have told israel they're keeping a very close eye on what israel is doing in northern gaza because of the situation. i think

israel is probably going to have to rethink military objectives. israel can't go in there now almost flattened parts of the area in pursuit of the remaining hamas units. it has to think about the impact on the 300,000 or so people are living there. israel says it is encouraging people to leave, but many agencies have said it's impossible for people to leave. some people are being shot at when they try to leave by troops, and even when people get to the so—called designated safe areas, they find themselves at threats. sadly, there been were people have been killed in these so—called areas. perhaps a rethink for israel of its military objectives in northern gaza, although it does say that it is continuing to kill hamas fighters. apparently 50 members were killed by

israel in gaza in overnight activity. that is why israel is doing what it's doing. given this criticism in writing and also on the floor of the un from the united states, from the british, israel defending itself. but it might have to rethink things in northern gaza. adding to what we heard from wyre�*s reporting there, the un agency for palestinian refugees says gaza is now "a kind of unliveable wasteland" — adding that around 70% of its infrastructure has been destroyed. our special correspondent fergal keane has been reporting on the intensifying attacks in northern gaza nearjabalia. because israel is not allowing internationaljournalists, including the bbc, independent access to gaza — he sent this report from jerusalem — and a warning, it contains distressing scenes from the very start. not a burden, but a duty — to the dead and those left after them. they'd fled here hoping it might be safer. in gaza city, 13 members

of the same family killed by an israeli air strike. translation: i took out my younger brother at the last moment. - he told me, "i heard mum and dad reciting a prayer". i don't know how he can go back to our home in the north without my mother or father or brothers. the abu nasrfamily were from jabalia. this is what they fled from. a brother mourns his sister. "it's a horrible crime here," says the civil defence officer. "many dead are being pulled out of homes and from the streets". jabalia is cut off by the israeli army fighting hamas. but the horrors being endured here are emerging. they run to save life and because they fear air strikes. bodies piled into ambulances. all ages.

kamal adwan hospital injabalia is facing a constant stream of casualties. there is a dire humanitarian crisis. israel is accused of refusing or impeding up to 90% of aid to northern gaza in the last month. from jerusalem, i spoke by phone with the hospital director. what is the situation now for you in the hospital? translation: we are talking about collective punishment _ for the health system in the gaza strip. consequently, we urge the world to intervene and impose their humanity over the israeli army, to open humanitarian corridors that allow the entrance of medical tools, delegations, fuel and food so that we can provide humanitarian services for the children, newborn babies and patients who are in need.

america has warned israel it may cut arms if it doesn't boost the aid allowed into northern gaza. israel says it's addressing us concerns, and its soldiers blame hamas for the crisis facing civilians, saying medicalfacilities are used to launch attacks on israel. in gaza city, they are digging for the dead. what a child must witness. they desperately want this to stop. but no, they cannot make it happen. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. elsewhere in the region, cross—border fire between israel and hezbollah continues. 90 missiles were fired into israel in the last 2a hours, according to its military. and in lebanon, 138 strikes were reported in the past day. the israeli army said its warplanes struck dozens of what they say

are hezbollah targets in the southern city of nabatieh. the air strikes killed the local mayor and 15 others. the lebanese government said this was a direct attack on civilians. rescuers have also been searching for survivors today in the village of qana, where the israeli military says it killed a hezbollah commander. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin sent this report from beirut. terrorfrom the skies. "my god, what have they done?" he says. "they've destroyed nabatieh. " then, one more israeli air strike. carpet bombing a city that's still home to about 1,200 people. ahmed, on the left, is the mayor who stayed to look after them until his last breath.

"in every war we get our share of devastation," says and one hour away, this was the picture in qana. the name might be familiar. israel killed at least 100 civilians here when it shelled a un compound in 1996. it bombed the town again in 2006. says the mayor here, mohammed. "today, the destruction is massive, terrifying. "we still have missing people trapped under the rubble."

and there is so much rubble now. israel admits causing all this, and says it eliminated the local commander of hezbollah. the army published this video today showing its bombardment of southern lebanon, in what israel calls a war of self—defence. 0rla guerin, bbc news, beirut. joining me now is david satterfield, former us special envoy for middle east humanitarian issues and former us ambassador to lebanon. ambassador, good to see you again. thanks forjoining us. i want to start with the situation in lebanon. as we were just hearing, four aid workers have been killed, according

to the un coordinator. he told us people are across the country are in danger. we're hearing about these strikes and counter strikes between hezbollah and israel. where is this escalation heading?— escalation heading? that's exactly the question- _ escalation heading? that's exactly the question. look, _ escalation heading? that's exactly the question. look, whether - escalation heading? that's exactlyj the question. look, whether we're speaking about the situation in lebanon or on another scale entirely, the question here is what's the endgame? what's the strategic plan beyond simply continuing kinetic action! we've been very clear, the united states, particularly since sunday, that the concern displayed by the us about where this is going, it has to be something that israel focuses on. lebanon, there is absolute support for israel's right to defend itself.

i guess the unprovoked attacks that have gone from hezbollah —— against. that is well understood, but where does this ultimately go? what is the price paid for the continued pressure upon hezbollah? that price can become far too much for israel, for the united states, for the international community ultimately to bear, which is why now, on a week from now and not a month from now, theissue from now and not a month from now, the issue of how is the targeting being done, what are the objectives, what is this trade—off between a legitimate hezbollah terrorist target... i! i legitimate hezbollah terrorist taruet... u, , legitimate hezbollah terrorist taruet... u, , , target... if! could 'ust “ump in, these i target... if! could 'ust “ump in, these are allh target... if! couldjustjump in, these are all questions - target... if! couldjustjump in, these are all questions that - target... if! couldjustjump in, these are all questions that the target... if i couldjustjump in, i these are all questions that the us has been asking, but it appears all of these calls for de—escalation are not being heated by either side of course. what is the avenue now for the us and for other members of the
