the statement was an apparent response to a report the united nations says its peacekeepers in southern lebanon will not move from any positions, again defying calls by israel to withdraw. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said he regretted the injuries but has repeatedly asked peacekeepers to leave combat zones, accusing hezbollah of using them as human shields. the lebanese health ministry says at least 21 people have been killed in an israeli airstrike on a village in northern lebanon aitou. so far, israel's military operations in lebanon have been mainly focussed in the south. the un's children agency unicef have warned that more than 400,000 children have been displaced in the past three weeks. meanwhile ,the un has further condemned the "large number of civilian casualties" caused by israeli strikes on northern gaza in recent days. the comments come as at least 10 people have reportedly been killed by israeli artillery fire at a food distribution centre at jabalia refugee camp in northern gaza, where israeli
9:02 am
tanks and troops are continuing a ground offensive. joining me now is our middle east correspondent yolande knell in jerusalem. and our correspondentjonathan head, whojoins us from beirut. your there has been much speculate as to what the israeli response might be to an iranian missile attack on it earlier this month. what do these reports reveal?- these reports reveal? well, israel has — these reports reveal? well, israel has been _ these reports reveal? well, israel has been threatening | these reports reveal? well, i israel has been threatening to retaliate for that attack by iran, which fired some 180 ballistic missiles at israel. and there has been endless media speculation about possible targets. it has long been known that israel considers iran's nuclear programme to be a significant threat. a lot of speculation was around whether it would go after its nuclear sites or oil production facilities, with the idea that this could deal a blow to the iranian economy.

according to this washington post article which cites two officials said to be familiar with the ongoing discussions between israel and the us, the israeli prime minister has said israeli prime minister has said israel is prepared to go for a limited retaliation, looking at military infrastructure in iran, and also that it is prepared to calibrate its response so that there is not the perception that it is interfering with the us election that is coming up in three weeks' time.— election that is coming up in three weeks' time. stay with us, i three weeks' time. stay with us. i want — three weeks' time. stay with us. i want to _ three weeks' time. stay with us, i want to go _ three weeks' time. stay with us, i want to go to _ three weeks' time. stay with us, i want to go to jonathan | three weeks' time. stay with i us, i want to go to jonathan in us, i want to go tojonathan in beirut. we heard from the israeli prime ministerjust some hours ago, saying that beirut is still on the target list for the idf and their operation. what is the latest? constant air strikes. it has been four days since we had one in beirut, but you can probably hear the israeli drone above us now. as far as beirut is
9:04 am
concerned, that is what worries them. but lots of attacks on other parts of the country. 200 israeli air forces over the last 2a hours, mostly in the south, where it is fighting hezbollah forces, where hezbollah forces, where hezbollah has its strongest presence, and in the beqaa valley and also places like this village in the north of israel. that is a big shock. it is a small christian village. 21 people dead. the pictures we are looking at suggests that a lot of those appear to be civilians, old women among them. israel has said little about who it was targeting in that raid. it doesn't always explain why it strikes these places was that it doesn't always give extra nations. israel has said it will review reports that there were civilian casualties in this village. there are civilian casualties in pretty much every israeli raid. these are very powerful bombs and missiles they use. it's almost inevitable that others get caught up in them. yolande, the

9:06 am
secretary—general via his spokesman yesterday, where he talked about a large number of civilian casualties caused by this operation. the amount of humanitarian assistance was woefully inadequate and there was a two—week stretch, almost, where the un were saying that no food, fuel or medicines were being allowed through the northern crossings into the top third of the gaza strip where there are still about 400,000 people resident, according to theirfigures. we heard from theirfigures. we heard from the un that some aid has made its way through the israeli body that monitors the crossings said yesterday that it allowed 30 lorry loads of flower and other food aid belonging to the world food programme into one of these crossings. they passed security checks and there is an expectation of more lorry loads going on today, but we are told
9:07 am
that jabalia camp still remains inaccessible, even if other food distribution points are able to work to some extent. yolande knell injerusalem, yolande knell in jerusalem, thank yolande knell injerusalem, thank you. the world health organisation has said that a second phase of its polio vaccination campaign has now begun in central gaza. despite the escalating violence in the region the who plans to vaccinate hundereds of thousands of children across the region. let's speak to dr ana jeelani, she's consultant paediatric orthopaedic surgeon from alder hey hospital who was in khan younis at al nasser hospital until last week. tell us about your experiences in gaza, what you saw and what you experienced? this in gaza, what you saw and what you experienced?— you experienced? this was my second visit _ you experienced? this was my second visit to _ you experienced? this was my second visit to gaza. - you experienced? this was my second visit to gaza. i - you experienced? this was my second visit to gaza. i was - second visit to gaza. i was initially therein march and now for a month recently, which ended last week. it's horrific.

i don't think any pictures can do itjustice, the pain and suffering that people are undergoing. this is a direct consequence of the siege that has been on gaza and the israeli aggression that a lot of my patients are not surviving because there is no medical aid, surviving because there is no medicalaid, no surviving because there is no medical aid, no sanitation or food. and the health care service has been a target from the beginning of this aggression. so it is dire straits. no words can do it justice compared to being on the ground. justice compared to being on the ground-— justice compared to being on the ground. tell us what help we were able _ the ground. tell us what help we were able to _ the ground. tell us what help we were able to offer - the ground. tell us what help we were able to offer and - the ground. tell us what help| we were able to offer and how you can access. many might be surprised that people are allowed to come and go from that area. i allowed to come and go from that area-— that area. i went with a charity _ that area. i went with a charity called _ that area. i went with a charity called medical l that area. i went with a l charity called medical aid that area. i went with a - charity called medical aid for palestinians. they have been on the ground for 40 years, which highlights that this didn't start on october the 7th. there
9:09 am
have been challenges to palestinian dignity and health care for many years. the first time i went, we went to the rafa crossing to egypt, but now that does not exist. so this time, we went through israel via jordan, are man —— amman. we did not take enough supplies for ourselves or enough food for ourselves or enough food for ourselves. we were limited to one suitcase, with no medical aid that we could take, even that would help us. so we were limited by what we could do and by what was on the ground. there were times when surgeons ran out of abdominal gauze and had no grounds to wear. so we were just operating with sterile gloves. i heard your comments earlier about how some trucks are getting in, but prior to these hostilities,
9:10 am
gaza had many more trucks going in to keep it afloat. this is a drop, putting in 30 trucks. i cannot explain to you how little aid is getting into gaza to the people who need it. aha, to the people who need it. a very difficult visit for you. tell us about the polio vaccination campaign and how that will proceed. it's the second vaccination for hopefully thousands of children, but how does that work in a war zone?- children, but how does that work in a war zone? this is the second phase _ work in a war zone? this is the second phase of— work in a war zone? this is the second phase of this. - work in a war zone? this is the second phase of this. the - work in a war zone? this is the second phase of this. the first| second phase of this. the first phase was coordinated by medical aid for palestinians and the who and they gave the first dose to 5590 children. there was a temporary pause while the vaccination campaign was happening. this is the second dose that children need. but we have to speak about doing a vaccination campaign well in the evening, there are quad copters and shelling that
9:11 am
are killing these children. it baffles me how we are talking about the polio vaccination campaign when actually, what the children of gaza need to prevent the spread of disease and give them their basic rights and dignity is a ceasefire and an end to the hostilities. so it will be done with difficulty. the un have stated that even one of the centres was meant to be polio vaccination centre was bombed and there are 20 dead from that. i looked at the map where they are going to do the polio vaccination and one of the hospital's is under an evacuation order, so it will be a great difficulty, but it is a strength of the palestinians that we will continue. they want to protect their children and do the best for their population, but with great difficulties. idr population, but with great difficulties.— population, but with great difficulties. dr ana jeelani, thank you _ difficulties. dr ana jeelani, thank you for _ difficulties. dr ana jeelani, thank you for telling - difficulties. dr ana jeelani, thank you for telling us - difficulties. dr ana jeelani, i thank you for telling us about your experiences in gaza.
