Israel-Hamas war: Crisis in Gaza deepens

The World Health Organization said it needed urgent access to the Gaza Strip to deliver medical supplies and aid as all access remained closed, including via Egypt’s Rafah crossing in the south. An Israeli military spokesman has denied there's a humanitarian crisis in the region. We get the latest developments from the ground on day 11 of the war between Israel and Hamas, and we also look at how the conflict may expand as the Israeli military carries further strikes on targets in Lebanon linked to the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah.

We look at the ongoing political upheaval in Poland, where with all votes counted in the general election, the Law and Justice party looks set to lose power after eight years. The result could lead to a pro-EU government if the three main opposition groups can agree to form a coalition.

We speak to our correspondent in India where gay and lesbian activists in India have expressed disappointment after the Supreme Court declined to recognise same-sex marriage. The chief justice said laws on marriage equality were the domain of parliament. We also hear from members of India's LGBTQ+ community.
