BBC World Service - BBC OS, Aid groups call for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

International organisations and aid agencies call for end to "haemorrhage of human lives"

An international conference in Paris has heard repeated appeals for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza more than a month after Israel launched its bombardment, while thousands of people have arrived in the south of Gaza in unusually hot weather.

We’ll hear unique insight from several voices inside Gaza, recounting the harrowing nights when the internet goes dark, and the intensity of bombardments multiplies. 

A member of the BBC’s Verify team joins the show to explain what we know of the latest round of strikes.

More than 160 people have approached the BBC with allegations of abuse at McDonalds in the UK, after a BBC investigation into claims of sexual assault, harassment, racism and bullying, among others, at the chain.

And Australian surfer Laura Enever has set a world record for riding the largest wave ever paddled into by a woman.
