Among others they were forced to beg famine in the streets. They were fed with food and feed to eat.

Babies born in the house were registered as sons of the founder, and their biological parents did not have any say about them.

The Israeli Army says it issued a warning to residents of eastern and northern Gaza advising them to leave their homes. The warning comes after an initial attempt to introduce a ceasefire in the territory failed. Yuland Nail Reports from Gaza.

We have seen an intensification of fighting here over the past few hours. I have seen a big air strike off to the northwest and a couple over to the east. I saw the smoke, uh, just dispersing from those explosions. Uhm, ten people killed here in Gaza overnight, as we know about, it's already bringing the total number of death now to more than 200, with more than 1,500 people wounded. And it's really that big price that the civilian population here in particular has been paying. I think leads, when you are going to talk to people, them to say that they also want to see conditions met for a ceasefire.

A judge in the Netherlands is due to deliver a verdict on whether the Dutch state was partly responsible for the slaughter of more than 7,000 Bosnian men and boys in Srebrenica during the Bosnian war of the early 1990s. A women's group, the Mothers of Srebrenica, is suing the Dutch government, alleging that Dutch soldiers, known as Dutchbat, were part of the UN peacekeeping mission, but did not intervene to protect their male relatives. Anna Holligan reports from The Hague.

Thousands of Bosnian Muslims had fled to the UN base in Potocari seeking protection. The Dutch battalion did not intervene as the terrified civilians were removed from the camp by Ratko Mladic and his Bosnian Serb forces. It was supposed to be a safe zone. What followed though was the worst massacre committed on European territory since the Nazis. Lawyers representing the Dutchbat soldiers say they were under-resourced and did try to protect the refugees.
