Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
And we're going to begin the programme today in Gaza after another night of devastating Israeli airstrikes.
Hospital directors there have told the BBC at least 54 people were killed in two of the deadliest strikes.
One hit a school, sheltering displaced people in Gaza City,
causing fires to sweep through the makeshift dormitories.
Many of the victims, some of them children, were severely burned.
The other airstrike hit a house in Jabalia,
reportedly killing 19 people, including 17 from the same family.
Again, children are among the dead.
Israel says it's hit 200 targets in just the past 48 hours and is now threatening a new assault on Khan Yunus in southern Gaza.
In the case of the school, it said militants had set up a command centre on the premises,
something we can't verify as the BBC,
along with other international media, aren't allowed into Gaza.
Instead, we rely on Palestinian freelance journalists.
Using their material, Fergal Keane has been looking at the situation facing Gaza's most vulnerable,
the babies and small children.
The endless loop of the Gaza sandscape.
It plays through the people's days and dreams.
