Surgeon at Khan Younis hospital says supplies running out as Israeli offensive continues

Surgeon at Khan Younis hospital says food and water running out as Israeli offensive continues.

One the last remaining surgeons at Khan Younis' Nasser hospital says many people are dying each day as the Israeli offensive in the Gazan city continues. Ahmed Moghrabi, head of the burns and plastic surgery unit, says some people have been shot as they fled the fighting, while supplies of food and water are rapidly running out.

Also in the programme: the Ukrainian tennis star now fighting on the front line; and what the Japanese think about Oppenheimer, the film about the man who developed the atomic bomb.

Joining Julian Worricker on the programme are Matina Stevis-Gridneff, the Brussels bureau chief for the New York Times, and Ukrainian-born author and journalist Yaroslav Trofimov.
