Good afternoon from sderot in Southern Israel. We are less than a mile from the gaza border. There has been intense rocket fire this morning, fired from gaza. On the horizon, you can see the outline of gaza city, dark smoke rising in the air. Israel has told more than a Million People living in Northern Gaza to leave their homes and move to the south within the next 2a hours. Israel is massing troops on the gaza border ahead of an expected ground offensive. The un has called on israel to withdraw the evacuation order, saying its impossible for palestinians to fully comply it has also warned of a humanitarian disaster. Israel says so far 1300 israelis were killed by hamas. In gaza, more than 11100 people have been killed in days of aerial bombardment. Israel says people should now move to the area south of wadi gaza. Hamas, which is designated a Terrorist Organisation by the uk government, says the people of gaza should ignore what it called fake propaganda. Our middle east correspondent, tom bateman, reports from jerusalem. Some civilians are Heading South from gaza city, already suffering a humanitarian disaster. They are on the move after the israeli army gave 1. 1 Million People 2a hours to flee their homes. Everything is threatened, says this man. How long will this go on . There are no more houses. The whole area is destroyed, she said. With gaza under a siege, the military message is all that is getting in, drop by leaflet, telling civilians to move for their protection after it says how hamas. Such a Mass Evacuation in 24 hamas. Such a Mass Evacuation in 2a hours is impossible. It would cause chaos, and aid groups say it could have devastating consequences. The forcible relocation of civilians like this, with a 24 hour notice, it is Crystal Clear violations of international law. We have reports from our people on the ground that the panic, the chaos in an already traumatised population that is under bombardment like no other is limitless. ,. , limitless. The israeli bombardment continued into limitless. The israeli bombardment continued into the limitless. The israeli bombardment continued into the morning. Limitless. The israeli bombardment| continued into the morning. People wont flee for their own lives when there are still the lives of others to save. With many more dead and power to life saving facilities for the survivors running out. The wounded are still being brought into already packed hospitals which are dangerously low on Generator Fuel and medicines. Israel has said it wont lift its block on supplies. Unless hostages are freed by hamas. Daylight came with more rockets from gaza into israel. The relatives of israel � s dead and missing are still seeking information. This womans grandfather was killed, her grandmother taken hostage. Like others, she fears for their fate amid the intensifying fighting. The us the defence secretary lloyd austin arrived vowing his full backing for israel, and he met the Israeli Defence ministers. fiur Israeli Defence ministers. Our neighbours Israeli Defence ministers. Our neighbours is Israeli Defence ministers. Oi neighbours is hamas, the isis of gaza, an organisation enjoying the iranians payroll. I cannot let the world forget the brutal attacks Hamas Terrorists conduct against israeli children, israeli women, israeli children, israeli women, israeli elderly and entire families. Washington wants to stop this war from spreading, from engulfing the wider region, but israels attempts to push one to push1 million palestinians south in gaza are also risks greater instability because it puts them closer to the border with neighbouring egypt, and the egyptians have made it clear they wont accept refugees. There are many ways this crisis can now slip much further out of control, and the israeli tanks are still lining up on gazas perimeter. Tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. Nearly a week on, grisly details are emerging of atrocities carried out by Hamas Gun Men as they rampaged through Southern Israel on saturday. One of the most shocking massacres took place in the kibbutz of kfar aza. Our correspondent has met one of the survivors. We should warn you that some of the details in his report may sound distressing. We hear them shooting people, shooting kids, and the people telling them, please, please, no. Please, no. They are the survivors. 22 year old neta and her boyfriend, santiago, escaped from hamass massacre in their village. She was shot six times in the legs. We start to hear gunshots for all the, they start. One apartment, one apartment, start to break the windows, break the doors, and start to shoot. You hear sounds, people screaming. The killers filmed themselves on the loose, murdering dozens in Thejewish Community of kfar aza. Trapped in her home, with no israeli army to be seen, neta realised the only person who could save her was her dad, who she hadnt spoken to in six years. Hiding, staying silent, she managed to message him. They are close, she wrote. Lock the doors, her dad replies. Please, answer, please. But the gunmen found them. They started to shoot like. Like we are nothing. I fall down on the ground and Santiago Scream at me, neta, please, stand up, start to run. If you dont stand up, were going to die, we are going to die. Hiding under a pile of rubbish, she texted her dad again. Dad, they shot me. Help. Im coming, he replies. When she texted me that they shot her and she didnt answer to me, my heart stops, and my brain stopped to work. You know, i was mad. When shimon, a plainclothes policeman, arrived at the village, he came under attack. I took my gun, and they start to shoot at me. I shot at them. I dont know if i hit them or not. And four people get from their houses over there and, with ak 47s, start to shoot me. Eventually, shimon found neta near their burnt out home and took them to safety, leaving behind many bodies. Neta says israel must now respond in the strongest possible way. I dont want the hamas any more in my life. They need destroy them, one by one. They come to kill us. Have you been thinking about what may happen to civilians in gaza if there is a big Ground Operation by the Israeli Military there . I speaking, all what i said is for the jihad and the hamas. I dont. My country didnt want to hurt the civilians. I want they be safe. I dont think they need to die, like i dont need to die. They like me. But civilians are being killed in this war, in ever increasing numbers. Nick beake, bbc news, tel aviv. Distressing reports emerging from what happened last saturday here in Southern Israel, and unprecedented shock and anger. Across the gaza border, inside gaza, as we have been reporting, more than 11100 palestinians have been killed in israels retaliatory air strikes. Israels retaliatory air strikes. Israel has also imposed a complete closure of the area, which means that food, fuel and water are now running out. More than 2 million palestinians who live in that coastal strip, a piece of land about the size of the isle of wight, cannot legally leave. In a moment, we will speak to another of our correspondence, anna foster, who is at another front in this war, one israels northern border with lebanon, but first lets speak to jon donnison, who has lived and worked in gaza and knows the area well. Just describe for us how impossible, to use the United Nations word, it would be for the people of gaza to leave their homes in the north and move south within 24 hour is. We are hearing that people are beginning to move south in their thousands. Our correspondent in gaza said he had seen long queues of cars Heading South, but its not going to be one point 1. 1 Million People in 2a hours. You cant shift 211,000 people in our. I know the area well and there are two road Heading South. They are not great, there is a lot of rubble and destruction. Its not going to happen. There was also the question of where they are going to go once they get to this supposedly safe area. People havent got anywhere to go, most people. And you know, the thing is, the question is going to be what happens when the 24 is going to be what happens when the 2a hours is up. What is a rail going to do . People what dosh what is israel going to do . You cant take people who are injured and disabled. When israel has issued warnings that it is going to target an area it has followed through with that with heavy bombardment. The question is, what will it do this time . Jan what will it do this time . Jon donnison what will it do this time . Jon donnison. Lets what will it do this time . Jon donnison. Lets go further north, to the lebanon border. Today is the day that hamas described as a day of protest. There have been tensions along the border. Anna, what is the situation today . Just along the border. Anna, what is the situation today . Situation today . Just in the last few minutes. Situation today . Just in the last few minutes, there situation today . Just in the last few minutes, there have situation today . Just in the last few minutes, there have been l situation today . Just in the last few minutes, there have been rocket alerts, even for this far north part of israel, and there is real tension on this northern border. We have seen signs of it tracking along the border this morning. There are many troops, many of those Reserve Troops who have been called up, 300,000 of them have been sent to this part of them have been sent to this part of the country, and you see them and their armoured vehicles. They tell me they are on high alert and ready for any escalation in this area. There are signs that things could be changing or could be being discussed, certainly in terms of iran. Their Foreign Minister was in lebanon yesterday meeting the leader of hezbollah, and they said that at a point that seemed appropriate, there was nothing to rule out hezbollah actually joining there was nothing to rule out Hezbollah Actuallyjoining in this war. That would take things to a whole new level, a whole new size and scale. The question will be how much hezbollah feels it needs to step in and stand shoulder to shoulder with hamas. They are both recognised as proscribed Terrorist Organisations by the uk, the us and others. There was pressure from Palestinian Militants to get hezbollah to stand alongside them and open up a Northern Front in this conflict. This is one that the west and the middle east are concerned about because it would notjust reverberate around here but around the wider world as well. Lemma the wider world as well. Anna foster, thank the wider world as well. Anna foster, thank you the wider world as well. Anna foster, thank you for the wider world as well. Anna foster, thank you forjoiningl the wider world as well. Anna i foster, thank you forjoining us from the lebanon israel border. And thank you Tojon Donnison for joining us. It is nearly one week on and every aspect of this war is intensifying. On this day, there have been arab protests in many middle eastern capital. There has also been diplomacy intensifying, the us Secretary Of StateAnthony BlinkenGoing Tojordan and visiting states where some of hamass political leaders are based. All the while, intensifying military activity, far more rockets fired here into israel. As you can see behind me, the black smoke never goes away, and that is intensifying the fear among the people of gaza, of Southern Israel, about what could happen next. Back to you in london. The chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, has told the bbc the current turmoil in the middle east and the continuing war in ukraine could mean Higher Energy prices. He said this weeks events in the middle east are the latest in a series of global crises weighing on the World Economy. Hes been talking to the bbc� s economics editor faisal islam at the meeting of the International Monetary fund in morocco. At the very moment the Finance Ministers and bankers who run the World Economy meeting here in morocco had dared to talk of a turn around after three years of crisis, what is happening in the middle east has cast a new shadow, and now ministers here privately acknowledge the uncertainty from the Russia Ukraine crisis shows no signs of lifting. Its not just whats happening in israel, its the war in ukraine that is proving much more protracted than people hoped. We need to prepare for volatility, for shocks in the global economy. Should people at home, though, expect that there might be an impact we are seeing a little bit in the gas market already from these events . I think people at home recognise that gas prices are four times what they were before ukraine, oil prices are nearly 40 higher, and the single biggest cause of instability is putins aggression in ukraine. But thats the long term solution. But we do have to be honest with people, that this is going to take some time. But there could be a situation where the uk government could seize some of these frozen russian assets and use the proceeds or the profits, to help fund ukraine, its reconstruction, even its defence . The g7 have asked Central Banks to ask what might be possible, because we are absolutely clear, this is an illegal war, this war is against international law, and we need to do everything we can to make sure that russia cannot continue to afford to fund it. Just when this Inflation Shock seemed to be settling down, global gas markets have found another rationale in the middle east crisis to keep on rising, and the extraordinary idea of seizing profits from the frozen russian assets is g7 Finance Ministers trying to target the original source of this wave of instability, russia, and it is an admission that the Sanctions Efforts are not working as planned. The World Economy, and so the british economy too, still in the shadow of uncertainty from prolonged wars a long way away. Faisal islam, bbc news in marrakech. And in response to the unfolding crisis in the middle east, the uk is sending two Royal Navy Ships and Surveillance Aircraft to the eastern mediterranean. Downing street says its to � bolster security. The Prime Minister, rishi sunak, spoke yesterday to his israeli counterpart, benjamin netanyahu, to offer what he called the � uks steadfast support for israel. Lets cross to our Political Correspondent helen catt. Helen, what more can you tell us about the british response . Well, the uk government has been absolutely clear that it is standing side by side with israel and israel has a right to defend itself. But we have also been hearing perhaps over the last 2a hours more concerns being expressed about the humanitarian impact and the need to protect civilians, the us Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken said yesterday that it was important to take every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians, irish irish said that that was something he had also raised on a phone call with the israeli Prime Minister. We are monitoring the situation very closely. We have formally updated our travel advice, and of course, humanitarian concerns and protection of civilians are very important, and this is something i spoke to Prime Minister netanyahu about, late last night. Grant shapps israel was doing the right thing by giving warning as he put it of taking Military Aggression in asking people to leave the northern part of gaza, you have heard all the questions ability how feasible that is for a lot of people, in terms of providing practical humanitarian support, the uk has now sent two ships to the region, i understand they were previously providing humanitarian assistance in the wake of the earthquake in libya, they have sent a company of marines and three merlin hecks are going to the region. Helicopter. They are a as contingency to provide humanitarian support but they have another role in providing assurance, to try to address some of the concerns you have heard about about violence spreading or instability in the region spreading, so that deployment will, we are told, provide assurance, also for that reason some planes being sent to carry out Surveillance Missions which we understand start today and they will be looking forward to track any threat to regional stability we are told by Downing Street<
