BBC World Service - Newshour, UN: Gazans facing "even more hellish scenario"

Israeli bombardment of southern Gaza continues

Israeli bombardment of southern Gaza continues.

The World Health Organisation says the situation in Gaza is getting worse by the hour, with bombardments by Israeli forces around Khan Younis and Rafah in southern Gaza. But the head of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee tell us that Israel is not trying to force everyone out of the Gaza Strip.

Also in the programme: the Nigerian president has called for an investigation into the deaths of at least 85 civilians after an army drone accidentally struck a village; and we speak to a scientist who is studying the world's biggest iceberg.
