united nations. they say they are appalled at the desperate situation as they call it in the north of gaza. the un human rights office is appalled by israel's continued bombing on parts of north gaza where its forces have trapped tens of thousands of palestinians. it says the israeli military appears to be cutting off north gaza completely from the rest of the gaza strip. the separation of north gaza, says the un, raises further concerns that israel does not intend to allow civilians to return to their homes and the repeated calls for all palestinians to leave northern dancer raised grave concerns of a large scale forced transfer of the civilian population. that is according to the un human rights office.

let's speak to dr richard peeperkorn, who is the world health organisation representative for the occupied palestinian territory. he is now in deir al balah in gaza, where the second round where the second round of an emergency polio vaccination starts today. i will ask about the situation in the north of gaza at the moment but first of all about the polio campaign, the vaccination campaign, that you have been helping to organise. it is the second round of this. just explain the importance of this polio vaccination campaign and how difficult it is.— and how difficult it is. thank ou and how difficult it is. thank you very _ and how difficult it is. thank you very much. _ and how difficult it is. thank you very much. the - and how difficult it is. thank - you very much. the committee, which comprise the military for help unicef and unrwa and a number of ngos, they arrived now at the who office and indeed it is a campaign, to target to vaccinate 591,740 children under ten years. with the second dose we started

today in what we call the central zone with a target of 179,000. i think it was a good start. we do this the same way. it will be three days plus one and then we ship to the southern zone for 293,000 and there we go to the northern zone and target 119,279 children. this time also we will be alongside the vaccine to boost the immunity of children between the ages of 2-9 children between the ages of 2—9 years. that is where we are now and i think today was the first day in the central zone and we will get the figures within a couple of hours. what i understand what ijust arrive myself in gaza and what i understand from my colleagues it is a good start. fix, understand from my colleagues it is a good start.— it is a good start. a good start, it is a good start. a good start. but _ it is a good start. a good start, butjust _ it is a good start. a good start, but just talk - it is a good start. a good start, but just talk to - it is a good start. a good start, but just talk to us| start, but just talk to us about the problems and the logistical difficulties of

trying to vaccinate children in the middle of a war zone. there are of course — the middle of a war zone. there are of course a _ the middle of a war zone. there are of course a lot _ the middle of a war zone. there are of course a lot of _ are of course a lot of challenges. if you look at the logistics, first of all there are 1.6 million doses of vaccine in gaza. we need to refrigerate russian, vaccine carriers. the plan, the most important part and that is very difficult, is what we saw in the first round with evacuation orders in the south and you constantly have to adapt your micro—planning. normally you do house to house. that is not feasible in gaza with so much destruction so you have to do it a different way. we have 400 teams with 137 supervisors busy at fixed sites health

facilities but also social mobilises and supervisors and announcers. it is a huge coordination and it is really complex. you talk about challenging. operating amid severely devastated infrastructure from a health facility to get supplies in, limited fuel and for the generators. and the situation in the north, we still remain hopefulfor in the north, we still remain hopeful for northern gaza. what is the most important part of this campaign is the area specific humanitarian policy. you mention the north there. i was just reading out what the un human rights office say which is that the israeli military appears to be cutting off north gaza completely from

the rest of the gaza strip. is that how you see it? i the rest of the gaza strip. is that how you see it?- that how you see it? i think there has — that how you see it? i think there has been, _ that how you see it? i think there has been, over - that how you see it? i think there has been, over the i that how you see it? i think i there has been, over the last couple of weeks, we have had massive problems in the north. i cannot deny it. ijust want to mention that when there were evacuation orders for the three hospitals in north gaza so who was requested by the ministry of health and those hospital directors to assist with what we call internal medevac from critical patients from those hospitals to oust chief. also to bring in urgent fuel and essential medicine and an emergency medical team. we needed nine attempts over the last week because all our attempts, all our missions they were delayed and sometimes denied and impeded. only the day before yesterday we managed to do that. we still get the

assurances that a campaign in the north is on. it has to be on because the campaign in the north, i already mentioned to you that almost 20,000 children which need to be vaccinated, roughly 65—70,000 in gaza and in 50,000 more up north. we get assurances that it is going to happen. we plan for that and we will make it happen when we get the area specific.— the area specific. thank you very much _ the area specific. thank you very much indeed, - the area specific. thank you very much indeed, from - the area specific. thank you very much indeed, from the world health organization representative for occupied palestinian territory. i know it is a difficult challenge that you are working on, vaccinating so many children against polio. thank you very much for updating us on that.

nasa will launch a mission in a couple of hours to one of the icy moons ofjupiter, called europa. some scientists think it s one of the worlds in our solar system most likely to be home to life. here s our science correspondent, pallab ghosh. the europa clipper will set off on a 1.8 billion milejourney to the outer frozen reaches of the solar system. it will passjupiter and head towards the ice—covered moon the spacecraft is named after. europa is almost the same size as our own moon, but that's where the similarity ends. it doesn't have any craters. instead, it has an icy surface because it's so far away from the sun. and you can see cracks and ridges which has been caused byjupiter�*s powerful

gravity stretching and squashing it. and it's that movement that scientists believe has melted the ice underneath to create a vast, salty ocean which has got twice as much water than all the earth's oceans combined. and that's what makes europa the most likely alien world in the solar system to be capable of supporting simple alien life. these telescope pictures show what seemed to be jets of water spurting from europa more than a hundred miles into space. the hope is that the spacecraft might fly through one of the jets and discover what it contains. as europa clipper is making 50 different flybys around the moon's surface, catching any particles that might have been thrown up into the atmosphere, and then it can do a chemical composition analysis to find out are there any amino acids,

are there any sulphites, those really key building blocks that we know that are essential for life here on earth? professor michelle docherty has a separate european space agency mission on its way to study notjust europa, but two other ofjupiter�*s large icy moons, ganymede and callisto. if you're looking for life in our solar system, and the first thing we do is we look for liquid water, you don't have to focus close to the sun. you can move beyond what's called the snow line, which isjust beyond the earth. you can go much beyond that and you can find liquid water, but it's not on the surface. it's in the interior of the moons ofjupiter, the moons of saturn, potentially those of uranus and neptune as well. i'd be very surprised if we didn't find the ingredients for life somewhere in our solar system. it'll be the end of this decade before the spacecraft gets to the jupiter system. they're not expected to discover life, but their

results will take us a giant step forward in knowing whether life is possible in one of these icy worlds. pallab ghosh, bbc news. that's quite exciting. let's speak to drjenifer millard, the extragalactic astronomer at fifth star labs, and the host of the awesome astronomy podcast.1. we will have to wait a while for some results as we were just hearing but tell us more about it and how exciting it might be. about it and how exciting it might be-_ might be. it's an extraordinarily i might be. it's an - extraordinarily exciting mission. i think for so long we have been focused closer to home in the search for life elsewhere, thinking of mars. the thing is we have been there for decades now and we haven't turned up anything. mars may have been habitable in the past. we certainly think it had a lot of liquid water billions of years ago. but now, not so much. we have to start looking further afield. and europa, with this global ocean, could be tens of kilometres deep, even may be up to 150 kilometres deep, compared to

the earth's. our oceans are four kilometres down. there is so much water up there and it has interesting interactions with jupiter's magnetic field so they can be all kinds of chemistry going on. there are hints of this on the surface. i can't wait for this mission to get up there because we have only had glimpses of this moon before, and to have something that will be there for over three years, studying in detail, is terribly exciting. just talk us through what is going to happen today in terms of the launch.— of the launch. today hopefully the craft will _ of the launch. today hopefully the craft will launch. - of the launch. today hopefully the craft will launch. it - of the launch. today hopefully the craft will launch. it has - the craft will launch. it has an extraordinarily narrow launch window. it is only about 15 seconds, so just over an hour to go as we are talking now. if that launch window doesn't get met, perhaps because of the weather, and they have more time during the month but the rocket will launch on the satellite deployed and it will stop making its way out into the solar system. making its way out into the solarsystem. it making its way out into the solar system. it will have an encounter with mars first and then come back to our planet as well stop to fly by so they can get enough energy to make its way out into thejovian system.

this spacecraft is enormous. it is the biggest interplanetary craft we have built, the heaviest. we don't have a rocket powerful enough to send it tojupiter, rocket powerful enough to send it to jupiter, that rocket powerful enough to send it tojupiter, that is why it has to do to fly buys, swing around mars and earth, and then about 5.5 years' time it will actually get to europa. tell us actually get to europa. tell us a bit more _ actually get to europa. tell us a bit more about _ actually get to europa. tell us a bit more about how - actually get to europa. tell us a bit more about how it - actually get to europa. tell us a bit more about how it mightj a bit more about how it might measure what is going on on europa, and in terms of possibly finding any traces of life or potential life, how exactly it is going to do that? this craft is not able to find life itself. it doesn't have the right instrumentation for that. but what it would tell us is whether this moon could be habitable? that the conditions right. do we see the right signs of chemistry, are there ways life could get energy. is the liquid ways li
