BBC World Service - Newshour, Israel orders another evacuation of people from Rafah

Residents were told to go to al-Mawasi, said to have problems with water and sanitation

Residents were told to go to al-Mawasi, a narrow coastal area said to have no running water or proper sanitation.

The Israeli military has ordered another evacuation of tens of thousands more Palestinians from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Residents of eastern districts of the city were told to go to al-Mawasi, a narrow coastal area designated as a humanitarian zone by Israel. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, told the BBC that the area had no running water or proper sanitation.
 
Also in the programme: More than 150 people killed in flash floods in the north of Afghanistan; and a solar storm produces spectacular lightshows in many parts of the world.
