UN-run Gaza school hit by rocket strikes

UN says thousands of people had been sheltering in Al-Fakhoura school.

Israeli ground forces have been advancing overnight into northern Gaza. Around 400,000 people are believed to be in the area, which has been under heavy bombardment. People trying to leave during a brief humanitarian window yesterday found the highway to the south, known as the Salah al-Din road, had been destroyed. It comes as yesterday, Al-Fakhoura school, which is run by the United Nations, was hit by rockets killing at least 15 people. The Israeli military says it can't confirm whether it had launched the attack.

Also in the programme: we look at research that suggests rates of dementia in the Western world are declining; and former US president Donald Trump is set to testify in a civil fraud trial.
