There has been further fierce fighting in Gaza, as Israeli forces conducted more air strikes and ground operations. The Red Cross said it's particularly worried about free zones of conflict in Gaza, and said it's rescued 150 civilians following clashes in the south. More than 650 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli offensive began more than two weeks ago. Gaza's only power plant has been temporarily shut down after being hit by an Israeli attack. Israel said another three of its soldiers were killed on Wednesday. The Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal has said he will not accept a full ceasefire with Israel in Gaza unless the blockade of the territory is lifted. However, speaking in Qatar via a translator, Mr. Meshaal said he would accept a humanitarian truce so that the aid could be brought in to civilians caught in the Israeli bombardment.

加沙继续发生激烈战斗，以色列部队进行进一步的空袭和地面行动。红十字会称尤其担心加沙冲突的自由区，称在南方冲突后营救了150人。自从以色列两周前发起进攻以来，已有650多巴勒斯坦人丧生。加沙唯一的发电厂在以色列袭击后暂时关闭，以色列称周三又有三名士兵被杀，哈马斯领导人梅沙尔说，除非取消对加沙的封锁，否则不会接受与以色列在加沙的全面停火。然而，梅沙尔在卡塔尔通过翻译表示，他将接受人道主义休战，这样在以色列炮轰下的平民就能获得援助。

We don't have any sensitivity at all at anyone including the Egyptians. And we expect the initiative of others, but as they said, we want to break though that seizure on Gaza. There are elderly, there are children, there are women who are suffering a lot from this seizure. And it is a border seizure; our resistance is to break the seizure on Gaza.

我们对包括埃及人在内的任何人都没有同情心，我们希望有其他人来提议，但正如他们所说，我们希望冲破对加沙的占领。那里有老年人、孩子和妇女，他们在包围下忍受苦难。边界已被占领了，我们抵抗就是为了冲破对加沙的占领。

At least 40 people have been killed in two huge explosions in the northern Nigerian city of Kaduna. The security forces have imposed a 24-hour curfew in the area. Washier Assad Abdullahi reports.

The attack target is clearly the Islamic clergy as he was living in the square at the center of Kaduna where he had been preaching. Thousand of people had attended the prayers. Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi escaped unhurt, but 25 people were killed and many others were injured. Shortly after that came a second attack, this time, the apparent target was the country's foreign ministry ruler General Mohamed Ruhani. Again, he escaped. But his car was damaged and 90 people were killed.
