BBC World Service - BBC OS, Civilians continue to leave Gaza

The United Nations says more than 400 people left Gaza yesterday

The United Nations says more than 400 people left Gaza yesterday.

Several hundred more civilians whose names have been published on an approved list are expected to leave Gaza today by the Rafah crossing. Wehear a voice message from one woman making the trip, travelling on her US passport. The BBC's Jon Donnison is in Jerusalem and gives us the latest updates. We also hear a message from an Israeli father of two young girls who were taken hostage by Hamas and from a Gaza resident who lives in the Jabalia refugee camp.

The BBC World Service is launching an Emergency Radio Service for Gaza in response to the conflict in the region - BBC Arabic radio editor Adel Soliman explains how it will work and how people can listen.

We hear an excerpt from the BBC's "The Conflict Israel-Gaza" podcast with our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet and our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale on Israel's military strategy.

And we speak to Helen Martyniuk, Ukrainian piano player from Odesa, whose composition "Bee Theme" has now been watched by millions.
