Israel-Hamas conflict: Gaza awaits aid deliveries
Antonio Guterres has visited Egypt's Rafah crossing into Gaza.
Israel's bombardment of Gaza shows no sign of letting up as aid continues to be blocked on the border with Egypt. The latest strikes have flattened a complex of twenty five apartment buildings. Visiting aid workers, the UN Secretary-General spoke of being broken-hearted at seeing the long lines of relief trucks. We hear from residents in Gaza about how they are coping.
We speak to our correspondent in Jerusalem and hear from people who are being evacuated of the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona as clashes continue with Hezbollah fighters across the border with Lebanon.
We find out about the arrest of a former justice ministry official in Haiti suspected of ordering the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021.
We speak to two Afghan refugees in Pakistan about the order for all unauthorised asylum seekers to leave the country by November.
