BBC World Service - BBC OS, Heavy fighting in northern Gaza

Fierce fighting is continuing near hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip

Fierce fighting is continuing near hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip.

Hamas health officials say more than 30 patients have died following power cuts due to fuel shortages at Gaza's biggest hospital. Several premature babies are said to be among the casualties at Al Shifa after their incubators weren't able to function. We hear from people affected by Israel's ground operation and from our correspondent in Jerusalem.

Somalia has declared a state of emergency because of unusually heavy rains and floods. We hear more from our correspondent and hear messages from local people. 

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.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
