I have to be honest, we are not going to be able to turn things round straightaway but we will get to work on that. Hollywoods biggest night kicks off later with the oscars and all eyes will be on oppenheimer to see if it can break the record for the most wins. Hello, im anna foster. A us military ship is headed for gaza, carrying equipment to build a Temporary Port for aid deliveries. The us military confirmed the Ship Set Sail in the last few hours from a Military Base in virginia on its way to garzo but it will take time to construct a port. Time is in short supply. The un warning and a quarter of the population of gaza, more than half a Million People are currently facing famine. There is a separate aid ship with around 200 tonnes of food that has been loaded on board over the last few days which are still waiting to be given the all clear to set sail from cyprus. The eu announced this over the weekend, a joint operation between the eu, the uk, the us and others and they say this should be operational this weekend comes as the us President Joe Biden has given an interview in which he has said that the conduct of this role will do more harm than good when he was talking about the way that israel has conducted its Military Operations after the 7th Of October but crucially he was asked if there was a red line, something israel might do that would mean us military support will be withdrawn and he said even though nobody wanted another 30,000 palestinians to die and gaza he made it clear the us would continue its support of israel and its military particularly when it came to things like the iron dome defence system, the thing you see that intercepts rockets that are far towards israel from gaza before they hit the ground here in israel. Lets look at these different narratives especially the aid starting to make its way towards garzo by c. Zoe conway has this. Towards gaza by the sea. Loaded up with the equipment needed to build a temporary dock in gaza, a Us Army Logistics ship. Its already on its way. The United States hopes to get a lot more aid in by sea, but it could take several weeks. In the meantime, in cyprus, efforts are under way by a charity to move supplies across the mediterranean. It may not look like much but on this barge sits 200 tons of food. Itll be towed by a Spanish Charity ship the more than 200 miles to gaza. This sea route has not been tried before. Thejourney could be precarious. Translation we will tow this platform to gaza, where The Last Mile will be the most complicated operation. The disembarkation will be done on a pier that is being built right now by the world Central Kitchen. Gaza has no functioning port. American Charity World Central Kitchen says it will be able to unload the supplies, but its not clear how. Clamour. Nor is it clear how it will avoid scenes like this the desperate scramble for aid. Alni was lucky he got a sack of flour. Diab was left scooping it out of the dirt. Children are dying from malnutrition, says gazas hamas run health ministry. The United Nations is warning of widespread famine. Getting food in by road is the best way to meet that hunger, the aid agencies say. But not enough trucks can get through because hamas and israel cant agree on a ceasefire. A search for survivors at a refugee camp in Central Gaza Hit by an air strike on saturday. In an interview with msnbc, President Biden has said israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must pay more attention to the lives being lost, and said his approach to war was hurting more than helping israel. Zoe conway, bbc news. As was mentioned in the us ship which is on the way to build the temporary pier, that will take time notjust for thejourney temporary pier, that will take time not just for the journey across the atlantic through the mediterranean but also to build that structure, the us has said it could be two months before it is operational. A lot of the focus is on the ship in cyprus which could be here potentially in just a few days and ready to deliver aid although questions remain about how it will be unloaded and secured and distributed through gaza. I spoke to nathan morley, a freelance journalist in larnaca in cyprus and i asked him when the ship might get the all clear to set sail. The all clear to set sail. According to the president the all clear to set sail. According to the president who the all clear to set sail. According to the president who spoke the all clear to set sail. According to the president who spoke last l to the president who spoke last night, it might move today or tomorrow, there are last minute boxes to tick, i am not sure what they are, im assuming logistical problems but the word from the quercia is it will be tonight or tomorrow. Quercia is it will be tonight or tomorrow quercia is it will be tonight or tomorrow. �. ,. ,. Tomorrow. And you have been watching it bein tomorrow. And you have been watching it being loaded tomorrow. And you have been watching it being loaded as tomorrow. And you have been watching it being loaded as well. Tomorrow. And you have been watching it being loaded as well. What tomorrow. And you have been watching it being loaded as well. What is it being loaded as well. What is going to be on board .

Its mainly humanitarian supplies, food, going to be on board . Its mainlyl humanitarian supplies, food, baby care items, sleeping bags, 200 tonnes, not a huge amount of aid but the problem is as you mentioned earlier, it is how they will get it from the ship to shore. We understand there is a temporary harbour or platform which being constructed there but its the larger amounts of air that will require a bigger Landing Platform and we understand a chef which has left the United States were passing out later in the week on the week and thereby build a more permanent structure and i expect there will be more aid on the way so this really is a kind of starting something the eu hopes will expand in the coming weeks. In eu hopes will expand in the coming weeks. ,. ,. , � weeks. In terms of what youre seeinu weeks. In terms of what youre seeing in weeks. In terms of what youre seeing in cyprus, weeks. In terms of what youre seeing in cyprus, nathan, weeks. In terms of what youre seeing in cyprus, nathan, itsl weeks. In terms of what youre seeing in cyprus, nathan, its been described as a corridor, but is there any sense yet of how many ships they expect to be able cyprus per day, perweek, ships they expect to be able cyprus per day, per week, for example . Actually, there isnt but what i hear is there is a lot of interest now in this scheme. It had been kind of kicked into the long grass because the president did tout this some time ago and then it kind of went off the ball and thus the situation in gaza became more critical, it suddenly came to the fore again last week and when Ursula Von Der Leyen was here some days ago she said this is the high priority project. There are lots of countries on board and lots of countries expressing interest in being part of the scheme so i understand once we see it getting moving it will become quite a flawed channel of communication and eight between cyprus and gaza but are the numbers, i dont know what they would be. That is nathan morley, a freelance journalist in larnaca in cyprus. It is worth saying there reason these additional aid rates are being set P Additional Aid Rates are being set up is because they need of the civilian population, the humanitarian need is so great and not enough aid is getting into gaza via the roadworks. We have seen World Leaders in the International Community saying openly that they have been putting pressure on israel to allow all supplies in barker road because that is the most efficient way of bringing aid in at school. I spoke earlier to a representative from the European Leadership Network about that and about the fact this pressure continues while all sites wait to hear if a Ceasefire Deal which would allow large amounts of humanitarian aid to be brought in can be achieved. This humanitarian aid to be brought in can be achieved. Can be achieved. This is New Territory can be achieved. This is New Territory for can be achieved. This is New Territory for the can be achieved. This is New Territory for the us can be achieved. This is New Territory for the us to can be achieved. This is New Territory for the us to be can be achieved. This is New Territory for the us to be embarking on the Floating Port Id and the address carrying out when it is trying to access territory for me access is controlled by its allies, it is a very strange thing but to look at the bigger picture, one of the core issues for gaza and the Palestinian Territories is that the palestinians are unable to control their own borders. They are also unable to have an army because they do not have a state on so this issue of access into gaza has been festering for a very long time. It has brought into sharp relief now by the looming famine and the extremity of the needs in gaza but illustrates what has been one of the sort of fundamental bones of contention. Israel pulled its soldiers and settlements out of gaza nearly 20 years ago and the Israeli Government says that in the occupation of gaza and that they do not therefore have and that they do not therefore have a responsibility really for the ability of people in gaza to access essentials. Most of the rest of the world believes that israel is still legally occupying gaza that it has a legally occupying gaza that it has a legal occupation to provide the vital things like food, fuel and electricity to ensure at least that the population there is able to get those things so there is a big underlying legal and political dispute you which has been going on for many years. Im just not being served quickly. For many years. Im ust not being served quickly. Served quickly. That must yank an one. Served quickly. That must yank anyone two served quickly. That must yank anyone. Two separate served quickly. That must yank anyone. Two separate things. Served quickly. That must yankl anyone. Two separate things we served quickly. That must yank anyone. Two separate things we are watching, firstly the ship, said in sa from cyprus. We had our reporter saying it could be today or tomorrow but remember remember this announcement was made by the European Commission president should help formed along. That was Jane Kinnemont. As she heard Jane Kinnemont. As she heard Jane Kinnemont say, the continuing narrative around the talks, ramadan was a key date they were aiming for and that is set to start very soon but we know the channels of communication are still open even though both sides do not have negotiators in cairo at the moment. The us president said efforts would continue to try and achieve some sort of humanitarian ceasefire in the next few days so will continue to watch both of those things and we will keep you updated throughout the day. Anna foster, thank you so much reporting from jerusalem. In the last hour, Kensington Palace has released this new photograph of the princess of wales on their official website.
