Hamas and Israel war: Day 10

Palestinians have been gathering at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt in the southern Gaza Strip in the hope of leaving ahead of an expected Israeli ground offensive. US media reported that it would open for dual nationals to leave and for humanitarian aid to enter, without giving timings. However, the crossing point remained closed on Monday afternoon. We hear from people on the border and explain it's history and importance to the region.

We also speak to Israeli teenagers, as we look at the affect of the current conflict on those growing up in the country. And we speak to an Israeli social worker and child welfare expert about her work in helping young people in Israel dealing with the trauma of recent events.
