Summary
Dozens of Palestinians are reported to have been killed in the latest Israeli strikes in north Gaza. The UN agency UNRWA tells us civilians are suffering in the camp, and unable to get out. We also hear from the Israeli Defence Forces. Also in the programme: Cuba goes dark as its main power plant fails; and we hear from undecided voters in the US.
