BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel intensifies Gaza bombing

Civilians in Gaza have been told to move further south

Civilians in Gaza have been told to move further south.

Israel intensifies its military operations in the Gaza Strip and asks civilians to move further south. We hear from a civilian and from the World Health Organisation in Gaza. 

Also on the programme: we go live to the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, where health is on the agenda; and a veteran foreign correspondent, who covered the Marcos regime in the Philippines, reflects on a Broadway musical about it.

Joining Luke Jones in the studio to discuss all this and more are Karin von Hippel, director general of the defence think tank RUSI, and Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid polling institute in Canada.
