Israel-Gaza violence erupts

There have been more casualties in Gaza and Israel as the heavy exchange of fire between Palestinian militants and the Israeli army continues. People on both sides have been killed. We continue to answer audience questions about the situation with the help of our regional experts, and hear messages from different communities and religious groups about how they are affected.

We are joined by our BBC Russian colleague who will be telling us about a school shooting in the city of Kazan, where according to local authorities seven pupils and a teacher have died.

And we are discussing today’s coronavirus stories with Dr Isaac Bogoch, from the University of Toronto. We’ll also hear a conversation between doctors in the UK and South Africa who have decided to leave or are thinking of leaving their jobs because of the pressures of the pandemic and other challenges at work.
