Gaza: 'More than 30 dead of starvation'

The figure is from the last 48 hours and comes from the Hamas-run health ministry.

In Gaza 33 people, including 12 children, have died from malnutrition in the past 48 hours according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry. We speak to our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet to explain more.

At a collapsed gold mine in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo people are using their hands and basic tools to try to reach victims trapped underground. Our Africa Regional Editor gives us an update.

And the authorities in Bangladesh say the number of people killed when a fighter plane crashed into a school on Monday has risen to 31. Most of the dead were children. Our correspondent in Dhaka brings us the latest.
