BBC Breakfast stars Jon Kay and Sally Nugent shared a devastating update on Tuesday morning
A BBC Breakfast star opened Tuesday’s (October 7) show with “traumatic” news as a guest admitted, “I’m afraid”.
During today’s edition of the hit morning programme, hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent updated viewers on the latest news from across the UK and around the world.
They were joined in the studio by Ben Thompson, who presented the sports segment, while Carol Kirkwood delivered regular weather forecasts.
Elsewhere in the show, Jon revealed: “It’s exactly two years today since the October 7th attacks when Hamas surged from Gaza into Israel, killing around 1,200 people – most of them civilians. 251 hostages were also taken.”
Sally added: “The attack prompted a fierce military response from Israel, which has so far killed more than 67,000 people, according to the Hamas-run health authority.

“Peace talks involving the two sides are currently taking place in Egypt.”
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell then reported on the ongoing “trauma” of the attacks and its consequences.
In the emotional footage, the presenter explained: “Time stands still in Kibbutz Be’eri. Homes ransacked and burnt out are reminders of the 102 lives lost here. Exactly two years on from the Hamas attacks, the trauma lives on.”
She went on: “More people were killed in Be’eri than any other kibbutz, and the grief and pain two years on is still very raw. Many of the houses still look like this. And people say they can’t rebuild their lives until there’s a full ceasefire and all of the hostages are brought back.
“So far, Israel’s bombing hasn’t stopped in Gaza, despite an order from President Trump. And the Strip’s already devastated… The war has seemed endless.”

Gaza resident Enaam al-Wahidi, who was forced to flee Gaza City with her family, admitted: “We expected that it would be one month, two months, three months. But two years, it’s a very long time.
“Every second, we look at the news [to see] what happened. I’m afraid that this ceasefire is not completed and the war will come back to us.”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has urged students not to join pro-Palestinian protests on the October 7th anniversary today, warning of “rising antisemitism on our streets”.
Sir Keir said it was “un-British” to hold protests on the anniversary which, he said, had been used by some as a “despicable excuse to attack British Jews”.
BBC Breakfast airs daily on BBC One at 6am
