Israel-Gaza: The conflict explained

We bring you the latest on the violence in the region and explain some of the background

The conflict between Israel and Gaza continues. Today Israel has carried out more airstrikes in Gaza, and Palestinian militants have fired more rockets into Israel. We'll bring you the latest on the violence there and explain some of the background, history and context. We'll also hear the stories and experiences of how people across Israel and Gaza have been affected by the conflict.

Also, people in India continue to suffer with the effects of the Covid outbreak in the country. So for a week we're going to bring you the account of a man in Delhi as he struggles to find oxygen for his father suffering from Covid-19.

And every day we are joined by a health expert to answer your questions about coronavirus. Today our guest is Dr Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Toronto.
