BBC World Service - Weekend, UN: Tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled northern Gaza

Calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza have been discussed by the UN Security Council

The UN Security Council has been discussing calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza at a meeting behind closed doors. It comes as Israel warned residents of the northern part of Gaza to evacuate their homes, ahead of an offensive against Hamas. The Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has warned that moving more than a million people across a warzone to a place with no food, water or accommodation would be extremely hazardous.

Joining Paul Henley in London, and Tim Franks in Jerusalem, to discuss this and more are Suzanne Lynch, Chief Brussels Correspondent and Associate Editor of POLITICO, and Nathan Thrall, Jerusalem-based journalist and author of A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ABED SALAMA, a non-fiction book on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
