Aid groups say the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains desperate.

Israeli forces are continuing their military operations across Gaza, with reports that the Kamal Adwan hospital in the north of the enclave has been stormed. The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, has described the situation in Gaza as hell on earth. We hear from a resident in the south and speak to our correspondent.

We look at President Zelensky's trip to Washington, to plead for the resumption of military aid to combat the Russian invasion.  

We hear about the reaction in Turkey to the supension of all football leagues after a referee was punched to the ground by a club president. 

E3, once the world's biggest in-person gaming event, has officially closed forever. We hear from gamers.
