Well, Gazas Health Ministry says hospitals and medical facilities in the strip have completely collapsed as the United Nations says its humanitarian efforts are in jeopardy with it having less than 24 hours of fuel left. Than 24 hours of fuel left. Well, it follows more than two weeks of a heavy Bombing Campaign and a full blockade on the tiny enclave home to over 2 million people, as a retaliation for hamas attacks earlier this month that killed 1400 israelis. Well, the head of the united nafions well, the head of the United Nations says hes deeply concerned about what he calls clear violation of International Law taking place in gaza. Law taking place in gaza. It is important to also recognise the attacks by hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian People have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence. Their plagued by violence. Their economy stifled their people, displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight. Have been vanishing. But plight. Have been vanishing. But the grievances of the Palestinian People cannot justify the appalling attacks by hamas and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian People. Palestinian people. Well, overnight, israels continued its heavy bombing of gaza, with local officials saying 5800 people have been killed since october the seventh. The ministry of health in gaza has said 704 people have died in the last day, a figure the Un Relief Agency says is the highest fatality toll reported in a single day since october the 7th. The Associated Press has reported on families being crushed in the rubble of residential buildings, and the un says over a third of gazas 35 hospitals have closed after being hit in airstrikes or starved of fuel. Well, meanwhile, hamas continues to fire rockets into Central Israel. Yesterdays Central Israel. Yesterdays barrage marked a spike in the groups attacks with it being described as the single single largest attack since the war began. Five israelis were wounded in a massive rocket attack yesterday afternoon with warnings sirens leading over a million israelis to head to shelters as well as we know, more than 1400 israelis were killed in attacks earlier this month by hamas gunmen who raided border communities and targeted civilians. Our security editor, mark white has this report from tel aviv about the site of one of the latest israeli airstrikes in Southern Gaza. Southern gaza. Rescuers frantically digging through the rubble for survivors , as israel says it doesnt deliberately target civilians and blames hamas for its cynical use of civilian areas to place its rocket launchers and command and control bunkers. But the and control bunkers. But the resulting Collateral Damage is significant with its clear, huge loss of life aid supplies here are vital, but the united nafions here are vital, but the United Nations says the trickle of trucks crossing the egyptian border is nowhere near enough. While the situation remains extremely dire , we call for an extremely dire, we call for an unimpeded and continuous flow of humanitarian assistance and medical assistance to continue coming into gaza. We feel that coming into gaza. We feel that that we see that the trucks have come in so far are just a trickle in the face of the immense needs of people all on the strip. Across the gaza the strip. Across the gaza skyline, there are regular explosions , dozens, often explosions, dozens, often Israeli Forces responding to the latest launch of hamas rockets. Latest launch of hamas rockets. And despite the huge escalation in israels aerial attacks, there appears to be no shortage in hamas deadly arsenal. Yesterday afternoon , central. Yesterday afternoon, Central Israel suffered its largest barrage of hamas rockets since the attacks. Of october 7th. The attacks. Of october 7th. Size and sounded across tel aviv as the countrys iron dome Missile Defence system intercepted dozens of rockets, some coming northeast of tel aviv. One rocket made it through those defences and badly damaged a building. Those defences and badly damaged a building. It came on the day israel was celebrating a small piece of good news in this conflict with the release of these two elderly hostages , 85 these two elderly hostages, 85 year old yakov said she was determined to help the Israeli Military by telling them as much as she can about her ordeal. As she can about her ordeal. Already, at this early stage , already, at this early stage, the israeli authorities have been given valuable insight into what happened to these two hostages. On october the seventh. Theyll be speaking to both women in the coming days to try to gain a greater understanding , try to gain a greater understanding, reading of try to gain a greater understanding , reading of the understanding, reading of the conditions they were held in after his meeting with israeli leaders, the french president , Emmanuel Macron, met the Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas determined to focus minds on a more positive future after this conflict. But future after this conflict. But for those burying their dead in israel and in gaza, any talk of peace must be the very last thing on their minds. Mark white gb news tel aviv. Well lets get the latest now live from mark white in tel aviv. Very good morning to you, mark. And lets talk about those comments from the un secretary general which has really sparked fury in israel overnight. Overnight. Yeah, real anger right across israel at the remarks by un secretary general Antonio Guterres, who said that the attacks on the 7th of october, although absolutely inexcusable , although absolutely inexcusable, did not happen in a vacuum , and did not happen in a vacuum, and that the Palestinian People have suffered 56 years of suffocating occupation, that theyve had their land steadily devoured by settlement sites and that theyve been plagued by violence. Now understandably, the un ambassador and others across israel have been putting their point very vociferously on this and saying that the un secretary general is completely out of touch with the reality on the ground and that he is actually in terms of what he said , theyre not really said, theyre not really reflecting what is going on in gaza at the moment. There has been no Israeli Forces inside gaza. Theres no occupation version of gaza in that sense since 2005. However, of course , since 2005. However, of course, there has been an encirclement , there has been an encirclement, if you like, a blockade of gaza ever since, and it has been tightly controlled by israel. Tightly controlled by israel. But the un ambassador from israel has called on Antonio Guterres to resign because of those comments. Hes been told by other officials that he is not welcome anymore in israel. Not welcome anymore in israel. Guess if nothing else, mark, this highlights just how complex , nice and delicate this situation really is at the moment as international communities, you know, want to work out how to move fonnard while supporting israel, but also so not turning their backs on the plight of Palestinian Civilians as yeah, i think clearly Antonio Guterres was trying to straddle both lines in saying that there was no justification for those attacks. But then as far as the israelis see it, giving a justification with those comments about the 56 years of occupation , etcetera, he did say occupation, etcetera, he did say in terms of clear violations of humanitarian law , that it was humanitarian law, that it was not just past violations that he was seeing from israel, but also the use of civilians as human shields, which is obviously a hamas tactic. But in this hamas tactic. But in this conflict with this issue , you conflict with this issue, you its difficult. You take one side or the other, you criticise it. Of course, by the other side. But if you try to take both sides, youre criticised by both sides, youre criticised by both sides, youre criticised by both sides. Both sides. Yeah, indeed. Look, mark, were going to catch up with you later on. For now, thanks very much indeed. Well, families across israel and indeed across the world continue to wait for news of missing loved ones, feared either dead or kidnapped by hamas during the attack on october the seventh. This is rmt in israel receiving confirmation that her 21 year old son is alive. She got some footage of him, but that video also confirming that he is being held captive by hamas. Captive by hamas. When i saw the video clip , i when i saw the video clip, i saw his face. He covered himself, but he was looking frightened , frightened. And it frightened, frightened. And it was very hard for me to see him like this because because its not its not my son. You know, my son is a happy guy. All the time. Smile and we laugh together and hes full of he has lots of friends. And suddenly to lots of friends. And suddenly to see him in this situation is alone by himself. Alone by himself. Well, elie has more on the hostage crisis. Hostage crisis. Thanks, stephen. Well, there is fresh hope now that more hostages will be released by hamas to try and avoid a full blown invasion of gaza by israel. Its estimated that 200 people were kidnapped by hamas on october the 7th, including many children. Among those missing are foreign nationals from across the world, including at least five britons. But the israeli authorities warn that some of those missing may already be dead and have yet to be identified. Well, among those be identified. Well, among those missing is nine month old kfir and three year old ariel and their mother, shiri, and their father , yarden. Here in the uk, father, yarden. Here in the uk, relatives of those missing have been making heartbreaking appeals for their return. Now yesterday they were talking about freeing some hostages. About freeing some hostages. Its really confusing. Its its really confusing. Its like a psychological torture for us. The like a psychological torture for us. The families here in the release in this one or this one, we want them , all of them back. We want them, all of them back. And we want all of them back. Now, together , i we tell my now, together, i we tell my brother and his family how much i love them. I always knew how i love them. I always knew how much he loved me. I never knew how much i loved him. You you how much i loved him. You you cant even imagine what those families are going through, can you . Its very well, its very difficult. Doesnt even difficult. That doesnt even begin it, does it . Begin to do it, does it . Horrific okay, lets move on. Should to we the situation here in the uk . Because imagine returning to your flooded home or business to save what you can access the damage only to be told the more heavy rain and flooding is on the way. Well, thats the reality for thousands of families this week across the midlands and yorkshire with a yellow alert in place. Our reporters, anna riley place. Our reporters, anna riley and will hollis, have been out speaking to people affected by the flooding. The flooding. Were here in catcliffe in rotherham south yorkshire, where the effects of storm babet are still being felt. There were 250 homes that were evacuated , dated homes that were evacuated, dated on saturday, and now the clean up, clean up effort continues. Im here with chris lloyd. Hes a resident who was evacuated on saturday. And you might be able to see behind us the water actually came up about six foot to the ground floor window. So, chris, just tell us a little bit about that evacuation and how are you feeling now . Well were very angry. Were very upset as well. The evacuation was from a neighbour. Nobody official. We got knocked up at 3 am, move your cars, move some stuff as quick as you can. The move some stuff as quick as you can. The barrier is going to breach. And currently we people are moving things out of your home. I can see bits of carpet around your possessions, but some things just cant be replaced , things just cant be replaced, can they .

I had those in there which id moved but not moved. I enough. Thank you, chris. And so sorry for what youve lost sorry for. For what youve lost sorry for. For what youve lost so clean effort does come so the clean up effort does come to you here and as weve mentioned, you know, it could be up to 12 months before people in this community are back in their homes, with many of them feeling angry and frustrated and worrying about returning. Its been a really tough few days for people that live on darell road here in retford in north nottinghamshire. Peoples north nottinghamshire. Peoples homes that have never flooded before flooding for the first time over the weekend in other areas of retford places that flood quite regularly experiencing the nightmare. All over again, raising questions as to whether flood defences are in the right place or whether the right funding was allocated to an area that was told it would be getting some form of flood funding. Right now it is still funding. Right now it is still raining, but a lot of the flood waters have gone back. The river idle over the weekend got to its highest levels on record , but highest levels on record, but that now has subsided and there are still flood warnings for lots of places here in the east midlands, as well as along the river trent. But the flood warnings for retford have now been removed by the Environment Agency , which is a good sign for agency, which is a good sign for people that have experienced devasting station and despair on a level that most people cant even comprehend. It is a tough even comprehend. It is a tough few days, if not weeks and months for the people of roads just like this one. And at the end of this week there is still more rain to come. Will hollis there it is 6 17. This is breakfast on gb news with stephen and ellie. Lets just remind you of the main stories this morning and the United Nations chief is under fire.

Were better at maybe a walk. Were better at maybe a walk. Id enjoy the leisurely walk. Allegedly. I like the bit where you sit in the corner, though. But id want a cup of tea and a biscuit. So die anyway. Look, boxing has always sport associated always been a sport associated with young people off with getting young people off the streets. And as we know, anti social behaviour offences are grow as a are continuing to grow as a problem for the police and local councils. Could boxing part councils. Could boxing be part of the solution .
