Sudan war: Your questions answered

As concern grows over the dire humanitarian situation in Sudan's Gezira state, the BBC's Mercy Juma joins the programme to answer listener questions on the ongoing conflict. We also hear a voice message from a Sudanese woman - a resident of Khartoum who fled to Cairo in Egypt.

On Friday 3rd of November, BBC Arabic launched an emergency radio service for Gaza in response to the conflict in the region. We meet the team working on the service at the London BBC offices.

After weeks of Israeli bombing, on 16 November Jehad El-Mashhrawi and his young family fled their home in northern Gaza. The BBC Arabic cameraman shares a vivid and shocking account of what he, his wife and children experienced as they headed south.

Meanwhile, the BBC's Shaimaa Khalil in Jerusalem gives us the latest on the Israel - Gaza conflict. We also hear a new message from Jacob Burns, a project coordinator for MSF, the Doctors without Borders organisation, in Gaza about his work there.
