will be back in a short while. let me show you the live pictures from the rafah crossing point, because that has been the focus for the increase aid going into gaza, both the north and principal in the south, but more trucks going through today. the un saying it has used the low in this fight to step up its aid to 1.7 million displaced goals in, but it barely dent the demand, it says. the problem has been dented by the onset of wet and windy weather. many gazans are sheltering in tents. more aid lorries are bringing in supplies, they are carrying the winter clothing needed for children. i've been speaking to the norwegian refugee council, and she spoke to me about the situation for her teams. we have sent our teams out there working round—the—clock to assess needs and respond accordingly. we have been managing sites and scaling of these sites for internally displaced people who are not staying in un facilities. it is extremely challenging in such a short amount of time to scale up operations from very little access and communication to try and really address all the needs that have been created after seven weeks of hostility. i would agree with the secretary—general when i say the amount of aid going and doesn't register. we have a 60% of housing stock in gaza damaged or destroyed also almost 80% of the population displays, and about 100% of the people reliant on aid because nothing, very little has got on in the seven weeks since october seven. we are desperate. in terms of where you have got aid into, is it principally the south, or have you managed to get aid further north? brute managed to get aid further north? - other norwegian refugee council have not been able to get aid of north. we would like to be operational up there, but

people, and 2.3 million trapped civilians. brute 2.3 million trapped civilians. we are 2.3 million trapped civilians. - are concerned about the potential for restarting hostilities. this paws desperately needs to be extended into a long—term, long—lasting ceasefire, because duality is there's so much devastation and just it's been so challenging for us to make a dense in the last three or four days. restarting of hostility would mean further devastation and destruction, further devastation and destruction, further displaced people. we are concerned about the potential for forcible transfer from eastern gaza to the west, we are concerned about the potential for mass deportation when there isn't enough space for people seeking shelter inside of gaza. . r' people seeking shelter

imagine sending people to a place where they are not guaranteed of their safety or guaranteed a very ability to return home once hostilities and. we are cautioning against pushing people further, further displacement, and we desperately need an end to the hostilities because there just isn't any more space in gaza to accommodate the displacement. straight to breaking news, coming from the
