BBC World Service - BBC OS, Israel-Hamas war: Gaza hospitals caught up in fighting

The WHO says Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City "is not functioning as a hospital anymore".

Doctors in Gaza and the World Health Organisation have warned of the critical circumstances at Gaza's biggest hospital, Al-Shifa in Gaza City. Several premature babies are said to be among the casualties at Al-Shifa after their incubators were not able to function. We hear from people across Gaza affected by Israel’s ground operation and speak to our correspondent in Jerusalem.

A British cabinet reshuffle has led to the sacking of Home Secretary Suella Braverman after she criticised police for their handling of pro-Palestinian protests and the surprise return of the former prime minister David Cameron as foreign secretary. We hear about the reaction and look at what is behind Mr Cameron's return.

Iceland is bracing itself for a volcanic eruption in the coming days. We speak to people who have had to leave their homes and are not sure if they can ever return. 

Kenyans have been given a public holiday to plant 100 million trees. We explain the exercise and hear from some of the Kenyans who have been planting seedlings today. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
