UN calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza

BBC World Service - Weekend, UN calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza

UN says the call for a mass evacuation is extremely hazardous, urging humanitarian access

The United Nations estimates that tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled northern Gaza after Israel warned them to leave ahead of military operations against Hamas militants. Calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza have been discussed by the UN Security Council in New York. 

We will hear from an Israeli politician, discuss Washington’s position on the war, and examine the extent of social media disinformation on the conflict.

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.
