TOP OF THE AGENDA

Starvation warnings after two months of Israeli blockade

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are relying on community kitchens for their survival

One of the last few food kitchens in Gaza is warning it will close in days and mass starvation is imminent, amid Israel's blockade of the territory. Two UN agencies say they have already used up all their stocks of food aid. Israel says its blockade will pressure Hamas into releasing the remaining hostages, and has accused it of stealing aid. The UN and other agencies deny this has happened and say they have strict monitoring mechanisms. The situation in the enclave is "tragic and it keeps worsening", one meal recipient told a local BBC journalist, while another said he had been searching all morning for bread. "We're only alive because death hasn't taken us yet."

• Court hearing: Hearings for an opinion on Israel's legal duty to allow aid to Palestinians and to co-operate with the UN's Palestinian aid agency are underway at the UN's top court. 

• 'Hard to have hope': The BBC spent a shift with a doctor in Gaza as she saw dozens of patients, struggling to treat them with a dwindling supply of drugs.

• Medic released: Earlier this week, the Israeli military released a Palestinian paramedic detained when Israeli troops killed 15 other emergency workers in southern Gaza, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said.

Tracking a smuggler behind deadly Atlantic migrant crossing

Fadi Gujjar is on on the run, wanted by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency for his role in the tragedy

A TikTok video shows three men at a beachside restaurant in Mauritania's capital, talking and laughing. A month after the video was posted, two of them would be dead - beaten to death on a boat journey sold to them by the third man, who promised safe and legal routes to Europe. Instead their migrant boat, headed for the Canary Isles, was lost at sea for two weeks. Fifty people died on the voyage in search of a better life. BBC Verify has traced people trafficker Fadi Gujjar - documenting his activities across three continents.
