Matthew, the words may offer a glimpse of hope but in this| offer a glimpse of hope but in this region relaying from this catastrophe unfolding in the gaza strip. Which is compounded with that devastating explosion at Al Ahli Hospital in gaza city. A scene of such carnage and chaos. What the palestinians say is the highest casualty toll from a single strike in five different hamas gaza israeli wars. They dont trust israel, but they dont buy the account presented by israel that it did not carry out in air strikes against that hospital. It doesnt by the american account that they too have looked at all the evidence and believe that israel did not do it, that it was a result of a misfired missile by palestinian jihad. President biden took care to say that while he was Standing Shoulder to shoulder with israel and wanted to shoulder with israel and wanted to be seen to be doing so he also said that palestinians are suffering too. Yes, he seems to have bought that agreement from israel to allow age to come in from egypt but egypt will have its own concerns. It is said repeatedly it wont open the rock crossing, the only way in and out of gaza now unless security can be secured. Half a crossing. Security has been breached four times since october seven. As always it depends on what happens on the ground, not the words which are spoken. Lets take a look at another extraordinary day across this region and this unprecedented visit by an american president at a time of war here in israel and across the border in the gaza strip. Ill warn you this report has some images that can be distressing. Heres his report on a day of all days. Joe biden arrived in israel this morning at one of the most dangerous points in the recent history of the region. From the us president , a very public demonstrative show of support for isreal and Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu who has vowed to do what it takes to crush hamas. Mr biden� s visit has been overshadowed by what palestinian Officials Say was an Israeli Attack last night on a hospital in gaza. According to hamas, 500 people were killed including many whod already been forced to evacuate their homes and were sheltering in the now burnt out Hospital Grounds. As the victims were buried, more desperation for gazans and a sense increasing anger across the arab world. There were overnight protests across the west bank, jordan, lebanon, and yemen. But israel says it was not to blame. In a detailed rebuttal of the claims from gaza, israeli officials said intelligence reports pointed to a misfired missile from palestinian militants. Part of israels defence, intercepted communication between militants, said to be acknowledging what had actually happened. Israels evidence appeared persuasive enough forjoe biden. I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday and based on what i have seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. Mr biden also expressed concern about hostages held in gaza. They include us citizens like Hersh Goldberg polin. The 23 year old was badly wounded at a hamas attack at the Music Festival at which hundreds were killed. His mother rachel is desperate for progress. I do feel that President Biden is very much with the hostages. We have spoken to him, i have spoken to him personally and we feel that support. And i know that the israelis as well want all the hostages released. And yet there is this quagmire of time and chaos and pandemonium and we are actively at war. Joe biden� s short visit will be followed by other World Leaders many of whom also have citizens killed or abducted by hamas. But the events of the last 2a hours have made things even more perilous for people in the immediate region including the hostages being held in gaza. Wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. Two day in his short but important visit here to israel President Biden at moments rose to poetry and also invoked the lessons that americans had learned from their own history. He talked as israel as well about the attacks of september 11 in the United States in 2001, saying that what it happened in israel was like 15 9 11. He also urge the israelis to learn from what the american mistakes were in response to that atrocity and not to act in rage. Justice must be done. But i caution this while you feel that rage, dont be consumed by it. After 9 11 we were enraged in the United States. While We Soughtjustice and got justice we also made mistakes. His words will have been touched by many here in israel. They will be listened to across the Palestinian Territories and right across the world and of course back in america. But it is the concrete achievements he been able to achieve here while on the ground that will matter most. Most of all getting aid into the gaza strip at a time when the United NationsSecretary General has spoken up nations Secretary General has spoken up and suffering. Today i ask the israeli cabinet, who i met with for some time this morning, to agree to the delivery of life saving humanitarian assistance to the civilians in gaza. Based on the understanding that there will be inspections and that the aid should go to civilians not to hamas. The agreed humanitarian assistance can begin to move from egypt to gaza. Let me be clear if hamas diverts or steals the assistance, they will have demonstrated once again that they have no concern for the welfare of the palestinian people. President biden making clear the conditions on that aid. Everyone watching to see if it does indeed come from egypt into the Southern Gaza strip. Everyone here and across the region are reeling from the images which came from gaza city early evening yesterday after that explosion at the Al Ahli Hospital. Gruesome images of bodies burnt and battered and bloodied, a Press Conference on the Hospital Grounds in the midst of body bags piled high. And the news today that there were so many dead they had run out of body bags. Bbc is one of the few broadcasters with our own correspondent in gaza. He was able to go to the scene of the explosion for that i will warn you that there are some distressing images and distressing discussion in his report. Heres what he had to say. At the hospital this morning, after what looks to have been the deadliest moment in gaza of the war so far. Burnt out cars and just a huge fire after last nights blast. I was talking to one of the people who witnessed what the palestinians are calling a massacre. He said they were just sitting in their garden peacefully, and suddenly, a huge explosion rocked this area and he said, we started to collect people from all around the gaza strip who could arrive at the hospital. They came and we tried to help. He said, we collected bodies, injured people, we evacuated people with serious injuries using motorcycles. Some people were evacuated on foot, he said, from here to shifa hospital. Blood soaked mattresses lay on the ground. Doctors here say thousands were taking shelter at the hospital when it happened. We left our home to come here, this woman says. We thought it would be safe, but then it got bombed. People are still collecting body pieces from on the ground. People are still in panic. People are still trying to understand what happened. With health Officials Saying hundreds of dead and missing, this is a moment of horror for palestinians already traumatised by this war. Rushdi abualouf, bbc news, gaza city. Reporting from the scene of that explosion at the hospital, really, risley grizzly scene. So many eyes now on the evidence, the imagery from that fateful moment. Weve heard that israel has made a case, the americans have been looking at it, brynn says its going to launch its own independent investigation. Palestinians you are gathering evidence to make the claim that in fact this was an israeli air strike, not a misfiring by the islamicjihad group. The bbc� s own Verified Team has been trying to establish what we know it what we dont know about this devastating explosion. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentCaroline Hawley has been working with our colleagues at bbc verify. Ever since the explosion happened last night at around 7 p. Ever since the explosion happened last night at around 7 pm. Time, the bbc Verified Team has been analysing all the images local time, the bbc Verified Team has been analysing all the images and video that have emerged. The Aljazeera Television station was broadcasting live at the time. You can see a series of Bright Lights in the air. We dont know exactly what they are. The israeli army said it was a failed rocket launch by islamicjihad. You see a flash and its followed by a big fireball. Our Verification Teams have looked at these images and can tell from the rubes and other skyline details illuminated by the flames that it was in the main courtyard of the hospital. Next, theyve been looking at Daylight Images next, theyve been looking at Daylight Images taken this morning. Here you can see quite a lot of fire damage to the cars, mostly intact and standing. A relatively small crater. Weve shown these images to a number of Weapons Experts and while they couldnt come to a firm conclusion, several have told us that if the explosion had been caused by the type of bomb normally used by Israeli Forces the crater would have been bigger and it wouldve been more damage to the buildings. One way of trying to establish what hit this hospital is by studying bomb or Missile Fragments at the scene. Our team on the ground and team here havent seen any. Look at this image we found from last night of two men searching through the crater we showed you earlier. The logo on their investors from the Palestinian Police from the explosive ordnance department. We dont know what if anything they recovered. The Islamic Jihad movement put out a statement saying the explosion was caused by israeli bombing and they have the remnants of the explosive head but they havent yet provided any of this. Whats not in dispute is there were a very large number of casualties according to palestinian officials, mostly people we think of it sheltering in the hospital from israeli air strikes. To establish the exact truth of what caused that you would need an independent investigation for that but that is not can happen and what is an active war zone. The impact will be felt for a long time to come. It the impact will be felt for a long time to come. Time to come. It has triggered an exlosion time to come. It has triggered an explosion of time to come. It has triggered an explosion of anger time to come. It has triggered an explosion of anger right time to come. It has triggered an explosion of anger right across i time to come. It has triggered an i explosion of anger right across this region and it wont easily die down. Especially as the region and the world be on waits to see what israel will launch that widely expected an attack by land, sea and air. As for President Biden, he has wrapped up his trip. He has achieved his first objective. He has given a very public show of support personally and politically to israel. That message has been received here. The american president also said he asked very tough questions put it in the closed door meetings with the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu the and also with members of his war cabinet, perhaps some of that conversation may emerge in the days to come. President biden has made it very clear in public that he also focused on the plight of the palestinians for that many will be now watching to see whether or not they will be a follow up, whether or not that aid will start coming through, that when crossing in the Southern Gaza strip through egypt. Foreign Passport Holders going out, desperately need aid getting it. But there is tension right across the region. And of course for the arab world who all of the arab leaders and iran have described what happened at the Al Ahli Hospital last night as an israeli war crime. That will have consequences.
