Multiple deaths and injuries have been reported at the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Hamas-run heath ministry, and the director of the nearby Indonesian hospital, say at least 50 people have been killed. The ministry said the blast was caused by an Israeli air strike. There has been no comment yet from Israel on the reported blast. The BBC is working to verify details of the incident. We'll bring you the latest from the ground.

Police in Bangladesh have fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse tens of thousands of clothing factory workers demanding higher wages. Police said huge crowds had blocked roads and smashed up factories that produce clothes for major western brands outside the capital Dhaka. We'll speak to our correspondent to hear more.
