BBC World Service - BBC OS, Gaza: Air strikes in Rafah

An Israeli airstrike has hit a residential area in the South of the Gaza strip.

Hours after the United States said it wouldn’t support an offensive in Rafah if it failed to prioritise civilian lives, an airstrike has hit a residential area in the South of the Gaza strip. 
Israel says it’s preparing for a  major operation there. 
We hear from doctors and medical workers on the ground and our correspondent answers the question about the international response. 

Also on the programme our Eastern Europe correspondent Sarah Rainsford reacts to the interview by American talk show host Tucker Carlson with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 
And we hear reactions from Russians on their thoughts about it. 

Half of the population in France had their medical data exposed in the biggest cyber security hack in the country. We hear from our correspondent Pierre-Antoine Denis on the reaction in France and what can be done to mitigate the risks.
