Gaza runs out of fuel
Gaza's only power station has run out of fuel, as Israel's siege continues.
The sole power plant has run out of fuel as an Israeli siege continues. Earlier this week, Israel announced it was stopping electricity, fuel and water from crossing the border. More Gazans are seeking shelter in schools and hospitals as Israeli air strikes continue. We speak to people who live there and are sheltering from the bombings.
In Israel, air raid sirens have been heard in the north and the south, with injuries reported as rockets land from Gaza. The Israeli military says it has massed troops at near the border with Gaza, including 300,000 reservists. The number killed by Hamas's weekend attacks in Israel has reached 1,200 - while more than 1,000 people have been killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza. We get the latest on the situation from our correspondents in the region.
