Why is the border crossing Gaza’s lifeline?
Thousands gather near the Gaza-Egypt border desperate to leave, but the frontier remains closed and humanitarian aid shut out.
Lyse and Jeremy give us an update from Southern Israel where the situation remains tense.
And we hear about the intense diplomatic efforts by the US secretary of state to prevent the situation spreading.

As Israel prepares for an expected ground offensive, Gaza’s only power station runs out of fuel.
Lyse Doucet and Jeremy Bowen are back to take a closer look at what’s happening on the ground.
Jeremy has been in Kfar Aza, a small border village where Israeli soldiers told him Hamas had stormed in, burning homes and killing families, including babies in their bedrooms.
We also hear BBC reporting inside Gaza, where our correspondent says the bombings were the worst he’d seen in 20 years.

What’s happening now and what could happen next? Lyse Doucet, the BBC’s chief international correspondent, provides context and clarity on the events in Israel and Gaza.
In this first podcast of a new series, she’s joined by international editor Jeremy Bowen, who like Lyse, lived and worked in Jerusalem in the 1990s and has covered all of the conflicts since.
They talk about why the latest attacks feel very different to what has been seen before.
