However, i israel continued to call for mr Antonio Guterres to resign, saying it is a disgrace that he did not attract retract his words or apologise. There has been stalled progress to agree to a ceasefire at the un Security Council. Because have grown louder here at the un for a ceasefire. They say that they want not just that but obviously the release of all hostages, the protection of all hostages, the protection of civilians, getting aid in, and yet we had seen the Security Council for the fourth time failed to act on the desperate concerns there in gaza. Now, remember, last week the United States vetoed a resolution. They put forward their only draft which put forward they put forward the draft today for a vote but it was vetoed by russia and china who said they wanted to see a ceasefire, notjust ceasefire, not just humanitarian pauses, ceasefire, notjust humanitarian pauses, and that they were concerned the us text would only give a green light to a further escalation of the conflict. The uae also voted against the us draft, saying that any resolution had to treat the lives of israelis and palestinians equally, and i had to address things like the forced displacement of civilians. Now, after the us text was vetoed by russia and china, russia put forward its resolution for a vote, the second time it has done so. And it did not receive enough votes for by council members. The United States and russia saying they were just trying to score political points, they were just trying to further divide the council, while the uk said russias draft didnt express israels right to self defence. Why does the council go from here . We heard the elected ten members, they had stated by the msm to malta that they will now work on their own product. The ambassador to malta. They feel the year it e the Security Council should safeguard the lives of civilians and they say in the days ahead they will put forward their own Draft Resolution for consideration and negotiation. Benjamin netanyahu has told israelis the Ground Invasion of the grounds script as a strip is coming. He said the timing would be reached by consensus. Some allies have urged caution. Emmanuel macron said in a massive Ground Invasion would be a mistake. It has also been reported Thatjoe Biden has asked mr netanyahu to delay the offensive until hostages held in gaza have been freed. Mr biden said he did not demand it but that he rather suggested it, but he insisted the timing of any action is israel bombing decision. Israel has been blocking feel from reaching gaza, accusing hamas of stockpiling it for military purposes. The Hamas Run Health Ministry say the israeli strikes have killed almost 6500 gazans since the 7th of october. Fergal keane is in Jerusalem 7th of october. Fergal keane is injerusalem and is reporting on humanitarian teams on the ground in gaza. He sent this report. Each climbing cloud a marker of destruction. Relentless airstrikes. Thousands of bombs dropped. Hamas started this war. Israel responds with devastating force. It is a story of stunned aftermath and desperate searching. The man was away from his home when the bomb fell. He speaks to his lost loved ones. I wish wed stayed with you. And then a child who survived. Theyre all gone, he tells her. Bbc cameras in gaza captured medics collecting the wounded. The man shouts, nasser his head is open, speaking of the child in his arms. Mahmoud badawi daily faces the killing inflicted from the skies. But there isnt time to stop, much less show his feelings. From one scene of carnage to another. There are the survivors to care for. Translation there are many hard situations. As an ambulance driver, you get accustomed to whats happening, whether its hands, heads or bodies that are cut. In many families now, theres the need to familiarise their children with the morbid practicalities of life in a warzone. Translation i have seen bodies blown apart. You cant identify anyone. So, in case anything happened and they were blown up, i would know them from this bracelet and i can collect their bodies. It is not knowledge any parent wants to impart. Sometimes in the heart of it all there is good news. She is ok but she is scared. Her father has been freed from the rubble. First the names, then the medics reassurance. Theyre all out, i swear. The Emergency Workers like mahmoud are overstretched, exhausted, knowing that, however much they do, in gaza now, it cannot be enough. Fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. To discuss all this, i am joined by the Executive Director of the United Nations organisation for palestinians here in the us. Thank you for joining us.

There is not enough water or food, we are talking about the loss of civilian life at a scale we have not seen right now.
