BBC World Service - BBC OS, Displaced Palestinians head to Rafah

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are streaming into Rafah City near Egypt

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are streaming into Rafah City near Gaza's border with Egypt,

We have the latest on the situation in Gaza where civilians are attempting to escape intense fighting as Israeli forces advance further into the southern city of Khan Younis. Israel says many Hamas leaders are now based there. Nearly two million Palestinians are thought to have been internally displaced. Israeli tanks have also been targeting the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

We hear tributes to the British writer and poet Benjamin Zephaniah who has died aged 65.

We talk to Ukrainians about the decision by US Senate Republicans to block an aid package for Ukraine.

We talk to a producer of a new BBC  documentary featuring interviews with former officers, who were  investigating the disappearance of 43 young Mexican men in 2014. The men have never seen again. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
