UN aid agency: ‘Nowhere is safe in Gaza’

UNRWA, the UN Agency responsible for refugees in Palestinian territories, tells the BBC that no areas of Gaza are safe as more Israeli airstrikes hit southern and central Gaza. We hear the story of Palestinian journalist Ahmed Alnauq, who has lost 17 nieces and nephews since Hamas' attack on Israel on the 7th of October.

Also on the programme: advertisers desert social media platform X after its owner, Elon Musk, was accused of sharing an antisemitic post; and we meet the man who designed its first title sequence for the science-fiction TV series Dr Who which turns 60 this week, .

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Kenneth Roth, the former executive director of Human Rights Watch and now a visiting professor at Princeton University, and Bel Trew, chief international correspondent for the Independent.
