Newshour hears from presenter Tim Franks in Jerusalem, a correspondent in Gaza, as well as a man who says the Israeli authorities still haven’t told him whether his mother has been killed or kidnapped.

Also on the programme: the High Court in Kenya temporarily blocks the deployment of its police officers to Haiti; and the extreme rower Tom Robinson on what went through his mind during the 14 hours that he was left clinging naked to his handmade rowing boat.
