Israel warns 1.1m people to flee northern Gaza

BBC OS gives a vibrant account of the day’s events with explanation and reaction from those involved.

Israel is telling everyone in north Gaza - about 1.1 million people - to relocate to the south of the Strip in the next 24 hours, according to the United Nations. Israel has massed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border ahead of an expected ground offensive into the densely populated enclave. We’ll hear from BBC correspondents on the ground with the latest news, explainers on the long and complicated history of the conflict, and voices from either side with their thoughts on an imminent Israeli incursion into Gaza.
