flee for their lives. i'm max foster here in london. wreckage is scattered across the site. even as the victim's bodies start to be recovered, it's still not clear exactly what downed the airliner. the u.s. and ukraine say it was a russian made surface to air missile. a video shows three missile launchers heading back to russia. vladimir putin is under enormous pressure. you have seen the crash site.

what sort of investigation is going on there? >> i think we're seeing some definite changes from just as the situation was 24 hours ago. there is a greater degree of control here from emergency workers who are here. the remains of the aircraft just there. the people who are now in control of this site they are preventing vehicles from moving further up the road to the main crash area just a few hundred meters up there behind me. we're also seeing a lot more activity on the ground. a lot of the bodies have been removed from really the fields were quite literally littered with them. what the people here are doing and i want to try to show you this, they are bringing in by

the bus load, miners who are fanning out across the fields and looking for parts of the debris that are yet to be discovered, or, more importantly, bodies that still have not been found either. we know they have only located 196 of the victims so far. that is still a big number yet to be di discovered. i think this will go some way towards allaying the strongly held concerns. the anger about the lack of control and concern and here on the ground. what about contamination of the sites?

>> how much information can they get from it? >> we have been careful to try and not disturb things there has been no real example of a strong investigation to this site. what we are seeing today is greater control. to some degree, greater restriction to the people that are getting in here. but it is not water tight at all. people may not be able to drive but you can very easily head up there on foot.

that is, no doubt, an issue of considerable concern. we want this to become the site of a world class aviation disaster investigation. the degree to which damage has been done will be unfolded. we're a long way from that. there is still great need for improvement here on the ground in that hard. >> and who is in charge there, i know the ewe yanians have been in charge. >> there are local.

>> they are still the ones that have the authority to hear. official emergency workers who are paid by the central ukrainian government. they are here. they are the ones that are doing their best under the circumstances particularly in terms of collection of the bodies. they are directing the volunteer miners and their searches across the fields and farmland. i think it's only around 380 or so government employees are here on the ground. that's still a small number. the search area involved, some 21 or so square miles, 34 kilometers. that's a big area.

the government here is not in control. so it is not ideal. in summary, as i say, we're seeing improvement. more coordination and control. unrest in terms of recovering the victims from where they have fallen. but still this is by no means the world's best practice. >> that seems extraordinary. phil, thank you so much for getting this information from the site. almost all of the passengers on the flight were from the netherlands so the impact is perhaps very much a national tragedy. >> a teenager unable to understand why her friend is gone. she wanted to talk to me.

we'll do it for him, her friend said. but she couldn't speak. the 15-year-old was on the flight with her parents, brother and two sisters headed on their summer vacation. >> she was every time happy, yeah. >> you grew up together? >> yes. >> can you tell me what it says? >> throughout the day we saw people from across this community bringing tributes,

lighting candles. a group of passing cyclists pass to pay their respects. this man tells me he didn't know the family. he is not from here but felt compelled to drive here and say a prayer and leave flowers. we found rows of houses flying their flags at half mass. >> the community is still at a fairly deep level of shock. i think people are still trying to handle the situation. >> among the tributes, these hearts with the names of all members of the family, six of them. and children at the school where the youngest of the four children went. they wrote notes and stuck it to this tree. this one addressed to brett, the

eldest son. dear family you didn't deserve this. and she says no. >> thank you. thank you.

>> the hamas health mincety says an israeli artillery attack has killed at least 13 people in gaza. several large explosions and more than 200 people are reported wounded. israel said it was expanding its military operation in gaza sending in additional forces. on saturday, officials said 62 palestinians were killed. the biggest daily death toll so far. cnn is covering the conflict from all angles. ben? >> yes, what we're hear something constant thuds of artillery in the neighborhood of gaza city right behind me.

there's a lot of smoke coming from the horizon. i was there at the edge of gaza city where i saw hundreds perhaps thousands of people walking out of that area. many of them simply carrying what they could, carrying their young children, some with bags of clothing. the people i spoke to talked about a night of horror and terror. people are talking about dead bodies in the street. house after house being destroyed. we saw last night as the bombing, the bombardment began to intensify it went on constantly throughout the night. this is an area where the israelis had informed via phone calls and smss the residents to leave. most don't want to leave their homes or go to the u.n. schools that have been turned into refugee centers.

that given the situation in gaza where there is literally no part of the gaza strip that is safe from air raids and bombardment from the sea, from artillery and tank fire, many people simply chose to stay where they are but now they are leaving by the hundreds. caring ferrying people back and forth. many have now in fact gone to un schools. we understand that some more schools are being opened for people fleeing the most dangerous areas. yesterday the u.n. said the number of people in those schools had reached 62,000. now it must be at least 10,000 more. >> the ground invasion.

>> you can't get outthat way. the boarder to egypt is closed. many people feel that the status quo before the current outbreak of fighting began was unacceptable, unbearable. in a sense it's like the prisoners in a jail ray yachting. that's what you have here. many people are not supportive

of hamas. many people resent hamas. keep in mind this is a very long conflict. it did not begin a month ago. >> thank you very much again. 13 people were killed according to the latest numbers just in the last few hours. >> thousands and thousands of people are still flooding out from eastern gaza and eastern gaza is still being pounded. we are seeing entire families, 50, 60 members of an entire extended family walking up the

street. we have been walking eight to ten kilometers to their home. the children are carrying savings, one or two t-shirts. the women are carrying babies. herding their families down the street to the sound of bombs making sure that their family members are safe. this is a tide of humanity flou flooding out of eastern gaza when we stop an hour from what happened you don't need to understand arabic, you can understand from the movements of their hands, their homes and whole neighborhoods have been bombarded throughout the night.

they simply didn't dear get out one man had heard and seen fire coming in from tanks, from artillery pieces. all of this going on in residential neighborhoods. it's going have some strong words to say. once again the civilians, yet, they have been warned in the past. the israelis have no doubt that the civilian population was still in place with the

neighborhoods. and this civilian. they are not giving up this fight because even if thousands of civilians were fleeing, one of the main streets from eastern gaza towards gaza, at least 5 screaming through the air. a few minutes later they attempted another multiple rocket launch. one failed to fire and simply started a small fire down below. started to run away. they fear that it was calling a retailuation strike on that physician. from there, where do they go? it is more of the schools that

they run as refugee centers. that's where we are now with being over the last few minutes. many people have absolutely nothing in their hands. they are making their way in. the u.n. is here. this is an unexpectednary owe that happened overnight and so now finding out who survived the night of conflict and who has been left behind. >> thank you so much for that. it's a grim, grim situation. let's get the view now from the israeli city. at what point does israel cross the line and attack too hard?

>> reporter: max, i'm not sure if you can hear me. the sound of artillery fire going out right now on the israeli side of the border, those are the booms you hear. this is something that the israeli military had been warning that they were intending to push further into the more densely populated areas. we see a lot of tank movement. mobilizing for that escalation. we saw a lot of artillery positions firing into gaza. these are guns that can basically fire all up and down the gaza strip. they are preparing the way for

the israeli forces to move further into the cities. they could start to see basically street combat. >> nerve wracking for ordinary israelis to see this unfolding. how much support for the military operation among ordinary israelis? >> when you had hundreds of rockets, they have been fired into gaza. they have fought -- frx, fallen into a village and killed one man and injured others including

a three month old toddler. it's nothing, of course, like the fighting you are seeing. what we have been see something the escalation of what could be a prolonged conflict now. we have already seen overnight and yesterday four israeli soldiers killed in fighting and there could be many more. one of the things interestingly that the israel defense force has said is they are encountering more resistance. they do expect the fighting to get much heavier. >> in terms of international support, pressure, how involved

is the international community in the operation on both sides? >> the international community is also untold. >> there is a tremendous amount of diplomatic activity but will it translate into a concrete cease fire. the military seems to be pushing ahead with a much more on the ground into the streets offensive. so, diplomacy is in the works but we may not see any results any time soon. >> thank you very much indeed. you're watching a special edition live in london. up next we will go to families of the victims in the mmh-17

tragedy are trying to get answers.

>> the families of victims in amsterdam who have been left feeling powerless after the tragedy of mh-17. we are at the argument and have been able to speak to some of those who have lost people in the tragedy.

erin? >> hi, there has been a steady stream of people arriving to pay their respects. they have been laying flowers and signing a bomb of condolences over that way. so far we have not seen -- up until this point we haven't seen any families here. they have been choosing to mourn in private but today, this family is speaking out. they were here just a short while ago. she told me she lost her son, just 20 years old, and his girlfriend, 23, so the mh-17 crash. and she says that she just simply wants the body of her son and his girlfriend to be brought back home.

>> do you have any idea of where your son's body is? >> no idea. >> maybe i's in one piece, maybe a dozen pieces. >> government officials will tell you anything. >> we know anything from the media. >> it's horrible. >> no doubt about that. >> well, it's impossible to imagine the pain and anguish of

a mother during a time like this and selena told me that she was the one who bought the tickets for her son and his gif. daisy's mother had passed away just two and a half months ago. was supposed to be a relief for the couple that was meant to have been an escape has turned into a terrible tragedy for that entire family. >> thank you very much indeed. the flight was going from where erin is to malaysia. andrew, this issue, the families not being able to get the bodies, that is just horrific, isn't it? >> they must be getting very stressed about the religious abilities as well.

>> that's right. the islamic faith say that the deceased must be buried within 24 hours of their death. obviously the remains of the passengers of all the passengers including the malaysian passengers remain for the most part untouched. i was speaking to a cousin, a family of six who all died in that crash. a malaysian family, i spoke to a family at the airport and she was still saying to me she was hoping for a miracle of miracles. she also said that i can't look beyond holding out hope for my family. i'm not blaming anyone at the moment. i-eem not looking for justice to be served. i just want to find out what has happened to my family. you do hear that a lot here. there is not anger at the
