BBC World Service - BBC OS, Israel-Hamas war: Your questions answered

We answer audience questions about Israel and Gaza

We answer audience questions about Israel and Gaza.

Israel has kept up its intensified bombardment of the Gaza Strip, with dozens of the latest strikes in the south of the territory. Hamas says the bombardment has killed more than 5,000 people. Attacks by Hamas on Israel earlier this month killed more than 1,400 people. 

The main UN aid agency in Gaza says hundreds of trucks of aid are needed every day, rather than the few dozen allowed in so far.

Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner and our correspondent in Jerusalem, Katya Adler, join live to answer audience questions and explain the background to the conflict and the region.

Scientists say they may have made the biggest breakthrough in treating cervical cancer in 20 years, using a course of existing, cheap drugs ahead of usual radiotherapy treatment. Our health reporter explains.
