BBC World Service - Weekend, US envoy arrives in Israel

US envoy, Hady Amr, arrives in Israel to seek an end to five days of conflict

Palestinian officials in Gaza say seven people from two families were killed in an Israeli air strike which hit a densely-packed refugee camp, as the conflict entered its sixth day. The US envoy, Hady Amr, has arrived in Tel Aviv to meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, and try to end the fighting.

Also in the programme: China’s first mission to Mars has succeeded in putting a spacecraft safely on the red planet’s surface; and a survivor of a Xinjiang detention camp describes her experience.
