BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel bombing campaign in Gaza intensifies

Residents in Gaza are uncontactable as phone and internet communications go down

Residents in Gaza are uncontactable as phone and internet communications go down.

Israel says it’s expanding its ground operation in Gaza as it continues its bombing campaign. Hamas says its fighters have been battling Israeli soldiers in the north and centre of the Gaza Strip as an internet and phone service blackout continues. 

Also in the programme: Americans have been urged to leave Lebanon because of the security situation in the region; and we speak to the designer who says boring buildings damage our health and happiness.
 
Joining presenter Audrey Brown are Dalal Mawad, a Lebanese journalist based in Paris and Peter Neumann who is Professor of Security Studies at Kings College based in London.
