BBC World Service - BBC OS, Firing outside Gaza hospitals

Explosions have been reported at or near several hospitals north of the Gaza Strip

Explosions have been reported at or near several hospitals north of the Gaza Strip.

The director of the main hospital in Gaza has accused Israel of launching a war on medical facilities. Al-Shifa hospital and others in Gaza City are being encircled by tanks. We get more information from our correspondent in Jerusalem. 

The BBC has been following the lives of five people inside Gaza who have recorded their audio diaries. Today we hear from an English teacher who began fleeing the north of Gaza but then decided the south was no safer.

Here in the UK, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing further calls to sack his Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, who's accused police of being biased in the way they deal with protests. We hear some reaction from listeners and speak to our political correspondent. 

The UN Refugee Agency has said it is alarmed by the escalating fighting in the Darfur region of Sudan. Our correspondent explains. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
