BBC World Service - Newshour, UN: Gaza Strip on 'edge of catastrophe'

Biden to Israel on Wednesday to hear about its plans for a ground attack in Gaza

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

UN agencies have warned that Gaza is barrelling towards catastrophe, with fuel, water and food running out. They're pleading for aid to be allowed into the territory, which has again come under heavy Israeli attack. Ahead of a visit by President Biden, there are growing concerns the region is on the edge of the abyss. We'll be speaking to Egypt's foreign minister, Sameh Shoukry. 

Also, Iran and the militant group Hezbollah threaten to take action against Israel - how seriously should Israel take the threat?
