Would happen soon. With more, heres our correspondent wyre davies from jerusalem, and a warning, you may find parts of his report distressing. The human toll in gaza is mounting. These casualties brought to the al aqsa hospital in central gaza are outside the zone from which israel had told civilians to flee. Its not known from where the victims came, but many of the dead and injured are children. Some images, too distressing to broadcast, show the bodies of at least a dozen children. Translation we have been here since the Crack Of Dawn L and the bodies have completely filled the hospital yard. This is in addition to the bodies in refrigerators which are full. We dont have enough shrouds for the dead because the numbers are huge. Israeli air strikes in response to the massacres of october 7th are against what it calls strategic hamas targets. They have left parts of the gaza strip looking like a wasteland. Such bombing, say palestinians, is indiscriminate by its very nature, resulting in thousands of casualties. No ones getting out of gaza for now. But through the border with egypt today, more than a dozen aid trucks did get in carrying basic food and medical supplies, after an initial transfer of 20 truckloads yesterday. But the un says its nowhere near the 500 trucks daily needed to sustain a population of more than two million. 30 , according to our sources, of the infrastructure is already destroyed. The un says that many who fled south to escape israeli bombing are now heading back to homes in Northern Gaza towards the shelling, so dire is the humanitarian situation. Some people will die if they dont get insulin on a regular basis. There are 50,000 pregnant women in gaza. Water is absolutely necessary to keep them alive. But the situation is set to worsen. Thousands of israeli troops, tanks and heavy armour are preparing for a full scale Ground Offensive in gaza once bombing from the air achieves its objective. Its what israel says it has to do if hamas is to be crushed. I have no doubt that israel will need to go in on the ground to be able to effectively hurt and undermine and weaken hamas, but also to be able to project power in this region and show the world and its other adversaries that are watching that we have capabilities. And i think its a matter of day or days until that happens. But israel knows a Land Invasion of gaza could trigger conflict in the wider region. In the Palestinian West Bank city ofjenin, israel says it hit a hamas cell preparing for an attack. After cross border skirmishes, too, in southern lebanon, a warning from israels Prime Minister to hezbollah militia and their sponsors, iran, not to get involved. If hezbollah decides to enter the war, theyll be making the biggest mistake of their lives and hit with unimaginable force, said the Prime Minister, talking to Israeli Soldiers in the north today. One factor mr netanyahu cant control is the fate of more than 200 israeli and International Hostages held by hamas in gaza, whose families fear an israeli invasion may put their lives in further danger. Wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. As weve been reporting, a dire humanitarian crisis is unfolding in gaza as israels war on hamas continues. 0ur correspondent Rushdi Abualouf and his family have been displaced four times in gaza in the last two weeks. Heres his assessment of the situation on the ground, from an aid camp in the city of khan younis, in the south of the territory. About 2,000 families living in these tents. They are people displaced from the Northern Gaza. This is, a camp has been built by the unrwa. I was speaking to the families here. They said they are struggling to find water. They are struggling to find food. They are struggling to find a bathroom. They said the bathroom here is a real challenge. They said security, also, is a real challenge because, as you know, hamas has been under really heavy attack by israel for the last two weeks or so, so there is no police around the area to maintain law and order, a few problems here, social problems in the area. But those people, they said, we have been given very little food, very little water, very Little Medicine to the people who are in need for this. This is an example of how 700,000 people, who are displaced from the north, are living in a very difficult condition in gaza city. World leaders are stepping up their diplomatic efforts to ease the conflict. On sunday, President Biden spoke to pope francis about the aid efforts, working towards peace and the need to prevent a regional escalation of the conflict. Mr biden also held two phone calls with israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on sunday. The white house says the two leaders agreed there would be a continuous flow of assistance into gaza. Mr biden also thanked mr netanyahu for his assistance in the release of two us hostages on friday. The leaders of the us, uk, canada, france, germany, and italy spoke on sunday. And several european leaders are expected in israel this week, including french president Emmanuel Macron. A new week begins with so much uncertainty of what is ahead in gaza. Now lets speak to ian parmeter, a Research Scholar at the centre for arab and islamic studies at the Australian National university in canberra. He was also a former australian ambassador to lebanon. Its great to get your insight into whats happening at the moment. Wejust into whats happening at the moment. We just talked about the diplomacy on the part of the diplomacy on the part of the us president , it Emmanuel Macron is due in israel tomorrow. Your thoughts on the diplomatic efforts at the moment. Diplomatic efforts at the moment diplomatic efforts at the moment. ,. , moment. Starting with President Biden, i think moment. Starting with President Biden, i think he moment. Starting with President Biden, i think he is moment. Starting with President Biden, i think he is playing moment. Starting with President Biden, i think he is playing to. Biden, i think he is playing to a number of audiences. First of all, to israel, to express full support and condolences for israel. And hes done that very effectively, with his very quick visit after the dreadful events of the 7th of october. But as well as that, he is playing. I must also add he has promised any Military Support Israel Needs will be forthcoming. Thats been very important to israel. But as well as that, he is playing to an arab audience. He wants to ensure the arab audience. He was of course unable to meet leaders after going to israel because that visit was cancelled by the king of jordan. But he wants to convince the more moderate arabs that the United States still support them, and still supports the two state solutions. Whether he can get that message across is unclear. A third important audience is his domestic audience in the us. There obviously is a very strong domestic lobby in congress, but certainly among the people, the American People themselves. They will be looking to him to show strong support. And he seems to have done that very effectively as well. The other aspect is the visit by the european leaders. There has been several of them. We have had your Prime Minister, rishi sunak. But also weve had giorgia meloni. I think a couple of others. Yes, the german chancellor has visited as well. But the visits by president macron and mark ritter, to express condolences for israel, but at the same time, to indicate concerns for their own citizens. Mark rutte. There are several french citizens unaccounted for, and at least one is a hostage in gaza. To indicate the french government is getting as much support to israel, but also to the citizens. Of their countries. As far as australia is concerned, the number of australians in gaza keeps going up. The latest figure i have seen is 77. And our Prime Minister, anthony albanese, leaves today for a visit to washington. And the opposition here is putting a lot of pressure on him to visit israel himself on his way back from washington. At this stage, the Prime Minister has said he doesnt have plans to do that. But he may change his mind on that. There are some Australian Nationals as well who are calling out to their own people here, and saying how desperate the situation in gaza is. Can here, and saying how desperate the situation in gaza is. The situation in gaza is. Can i ask ou the situation in gaza is. Can i ask you about the situation in gaza is.

The country is going through the worst crisis it has ever experienced financially. The government is very much focused on trying to get International Support for that. As far as the south is concerned, it is ruled by hezbollah. The lebanese government has no authority over hezbollah, and if iran directs hezbollah to become involved, it will. The important thing for the lebanese, and the population will be frightened of this, they will all suffer if hezbollah becomes involved. With the fighting that occurred in 2006, there was major Infrastructure Damage done by israel, and almost certainly the same thing will happen again. Airports, bridges bond etc. We appreciate your thoughts on what is happening. Bonded etc. There wasjubilation there was jubilation as the aid trucks entered gaza. The family of a british teenager whos been missing since the hamas Attacks On October 7th has confirmed she was killed. The body of noiya sharabi, who was 16, has now been formally identified.

I want them to put pressure for any kind of humanitarian organisation to go inside and check on them. And to release them. And you still have hope that you will see them . I have to. I have to have hope. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news.

He spent time during the pandemic practicing and said playing at the tournament would be one of his proudest moments. Youre live with bbc news. Argentinas president ial election will go to a run off next month, after partial results from the first round put the governing partys candidate in the lead. Economy minister sergio massa won the first round, with the outcome surprising most pollsters. It was thought mr massa, who represents the governing coalition, would be blamed for the dire state of argentinas economy, with inflation nearing 140 . Hell face second place finisher, right wing populist and Outsiderjavier Milei in the november runoff. Milei said he would fight on to win in the second round in what he called the most important election of the last 100 years. For more, lets speak to gerardo munck. Hes a professor of Political Science at the university of Southern California and joins me from los angeles. Its good to have you on the programme. Hello. Give us your take on the outcome of this president ial race. It looks like sergio massa is going head to head with javier milei. How will it play out . This headtohead with javier milei. How will it play out . How will it play out . This was a big surprise. How will it play out . This was a big surprise. Two how will it play out . This was a big surprise. Two big a big surprise. Two big surprises, there was a primary election two months ago, and in that one. It took people by surprise, javier milei is an outsider in politics, pretty far right wing politician. The governing candidate sergio massa came third in that election, relative to the others. So we didnt expect him to win, by a pretty sizeable margin, six and a half points roughly, so we have a run off between the government candidate, the minister of the economy, in a country with great economic problems, and an outsider, a candidate similar to trump and bolsonaro in brazil, that kind of a candidate. A really stark choice for the country. Its hard to understand how voters are going to make their choice. Its going to be interesting, because nearly 24 of the voters voted for the female candidate, the right wing candidate. She is currently in the government, in security. No, she used to be in the previous government. Mil no, she used to be in the previous government. All right, so she was previous government. All right, so she was in previous government. All right, so she was in the previous government. All right, so she was in the previous so she was in the previous government, on the right wing of politics. Is it assumed that those who voted for her will vote Forjavier Milei . Its vote Forjavier Milei . Its assume vote Forjavier Milei . Its assume that vote Forjavier Milei . Its assume that you vote Forjavier Milei . It� s assume that you have two right wing candidates, and most, we dont know exactly how many, maybe two thirds of the said place voters would vote Forjavier Milei. 0ther right wing parties, maybe they would vote with the government, with sergio massa, so its going to be a tight race. Its hard to say who has the advantage at this point. Most of them gave conciliatory speeches this evening. Basically trying to bring in allies from the other political parties. Both of them. For parties. Both of them. For many people parties. Both of them. For many people voting, the state of the economy was central in their thinking. Of the economy was central in theirthinking. Ifjavier of the economy was central in their thinking. Ifjavier milei wins, what are his proposals to get the economy back on track . He is a very radical free market person. An admirer of. One of his signature programmes is to get rid of the central bank, not to print argentine pesos, to have dollars instead. That is extremely hard to do in practical terms, extremely hard to do in practicalterms, it extremely hard to do in practical terms, it is unconstitutional. But anyway, basically he has a very strong free market bent. 0ne basically he has a very strong free market bent. One of his other signature programmes is to reduce the influence of what he calls the political past. He wants to shrink the state. Thats one of his programmes. If i mayjust add, something that played against him, and may play against him in the run off. Well, the government is facing many economic problems. Is facing many economic problems. Is facing many economic roblems. ,. , problems. Sorry to interrupt ou, problems. Sorry to interrupt you. But problems. Sorry to interrupt you. But we problems.

We will have a lot more on this in our business coverage, looking at the economic challenges facing argentina, but we must move on.

Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has warned that rivers are at record levels in parts of the midlands and Northern England. With water still rising, there is still a risk of further flooding. We have the top stories in business next. More on argentina, see you in a moment. Weve got a window of slightly drier, quieterweather at the moment as storm babet has cleared away. But there are still plenty of Flood Warnings in force, particularly through central parts of england. Now, monday will see quite a chilly morning, even some icy stretches, but a largely dry day for many of us once again. Now for the rest of the overnight period, the early hours of monday morning, we have got some rain sitting out to the west here. But for most of us, clear skies, some mist and some fog patches and temperatures even in our towns and cities close to freezing in the north. Could be a bit colder than that in the countryside. So certainly a little bit of ice on any untreated surfaces for parts of scotland and Northern England too. Now through the day, weve got low pressure trying to squeeze its way in from the west. High pressure, though, holding on, a ridge of High Pressure across the near continent. So thats how we start the day largely dry under that area of High Pressure. Mist and fog patches through the central swathe of the uk. A little bit icy in the north at first. Any icy stretches, any mist and fog clear away. So some long spells of sunshine, a few more showers into Northern Ireland, perhaps into cornwall, the Isles Of Scilly as well. Most other places seeing a dry day with some sunshine, ii to 16 degrees. But the cloud increases in the south later in the afternoon ahead of this area of rain that pushes in across parts of england. Wales also seeing some rain as we head through the overnight period into tuesday. So not quite as cold. Certainly temperatures for some of us remaining in double figures as we move through into tuesday morning. Now, tuesdays weather dominated by this area of low pressure. It is the remnants of A Storm Named Bernard By The Portuguese met service. So its brought some pretty wet and windy weather further south across europe. By the time it reaches our shores, i think on tuesday, were going to be seeing some showery outbreaks of rain. Could be a bit more persistent for the likes of lincolnshire, the wash, norfolk as well. Either side of that sunny spells, perhaps one or two showers around, but not the persistent heavy rain that weve seen. And temperatures between about 11 to 16 degrees. So fairly typical of the time of year. Now heading towards the middle of the week, and wednesday brings a Weather Front in from the atlantic. So some stronger winds and more persistent rain possible for the south west of england, wales, perhaps Northern Ireland later in the day. To the north and east of that, again, sunny spells and a few showers around 10 to 16 degrees. So certainly not completely dry and things are looking quite autumnal and unsettled really through the week ahead. So more rain at times, but were not expecting the heavy, disruptive rain that we saw during the course of last week with storm babet. Bye bye. Live from london.

Ia aid trucks crossed the Rafah Border From Egypt Into Gaza On sunday night, according to the united nations. The day before, a Convoy Carrying Medicines and food were allowed in for the First Time Since israel tightened its blockade of the territory more than two weeks ago. The Rafah Crossing is on the egyptian border, and its the only route into gaza that doesnt border israel. That means its currently the only entry point foraid.
