Israel in ‘second stage’ of Gaza assault as UN warns of civil order breakdown
The UN has warned that civil order is starting to break down in Gaza, after thousands of people looted warehouses, desperate for food.
Israel has moved more ground forces into the Strip and says its jets hit at least 450 Hamas targets in just 24 hours.
More than 8,000 people have now been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry, and 41% of them are children.

Argentina election: Who is the far-right candidate Javier Milei?
Voters in Argentina are heading to the polls today in a general election. It's taking place amid a challenging situation for the country with inflation running at 140 per cent and spiralling poverty.
All eyes are on Javier Milei, a Donald Trump-admiring libertarian who's hoping to attract disillusioned supporters away from Argentina’s main parties. He says his controversial policies are the shock therapy the country needs. But his opponents say he's a far-right populist with dangerous ideas.

First aid trucks cross into Gaza through Rafah crossing
Around 20 trucks carrying aid have managed to cross into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt - which the UN said would be a mere drop in the ocean compared with the overwhelming need.
Food, medical supplies and water are running perilously short in the enclave - as Israel continued to launch airstrikes against Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the UK.
The UN chief has led calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire - describing the situation inside Gaza as a "god awful nightmare".

Gaza residents flee south only to be bombed by Israel
The UN is accusing Israel of showing a "flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians" after it bombed a Gaza school where thousands were sheltering, killing at least six people.
It says no place is safe in the crowded Strip - which is rapidly running out of food, water, fuel and medical supplies to treat its 12 thousand wounded.
Four days ago Israel told Gazans to move south for their own safety. But today it bombed just outside the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, where hundreds of thousands have taken shelter - killing dozens of people.
You may find some of this report distressing.

Could the Israel-Hamas war engulf the region?
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been criss-crossing the Middle East - trying to stop the conflict engulfing the region.
Yesterday, he returned to Israel, where he discussed humanitarian aid with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
But diplomatic efforts have failed to secure even a brief ceasefire so the Rafah Crossing could open. And that's left foreign nationals trapped in Gaza and desperately-needed aid stuck in Egypt.
Warning this report contains distressing content.
