backed group, hezbollah. we've also heard from the pentagon — saying that an advance team of military personnel — and the initial components of an american missile defence system has arrived in israel with more to be sent in the coming days. the washington post reports that president biden said would not hit nuclear state that is in retaliation to trounce attack on israel two weeks ago. one further development of the 0ne further development of the last half hour it's emerged that the us is written to israel's government giving it 30 days to urgently boost humanitarian aid access in gaza orface losing some military assistance. we're joined by our correspondents, wyre davies injerusalem, jonathan head in beirut, gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf who's in istanbul and tom bateman in washington. tom, tell us more about this

of the war in gaza. it basically says, accuses the israelis of having 90% of humanitarian aid denied in the south of the last month. all of this in the context of the current israeli attack in two military assault in northern gaza. the american say this has amounted to a series of adding to the numbers of people being forced into that narrow coastal strip in gaza. and says that those people are now in high risk of contagion. it goes through a series of measures, it wants the israelis to let much more aid into surge aid in the head of the winter. if not it says that they risk the implementation of a particular part of us law, the foreign assistance act and a particular section which denies military

assistance to any countries that prohibit the movement of american humanitarian aid. very significant warning. this letter is leaked, abc has verified its contents. i expect we will get more from the americans about what they expect the israelis to do over the coming days to assure them that what is happening in the north of gaza is going... they will be rapid changes in the way that that is being carried out. , , �* , ., out. very interesting. let's go to beirut- _ out. very interesting. let's go to beirut. earlier— out. very interesting. let's go to beirut. earlier in _ out. very interesting. let's go to beirut. earlier in the - out. very interesting. let's go to beirut. earlier in the day i to beirut. earlier in the day we had new threats from hezbollah deputy chief saying if this war continues with israel there will be hundreds of thousands, maybe even 2 million israelis who will be in the danger zone. again, worrying sounds from hezbollah. yes we don't know exactly how badly—

in the north surrounded by israeli troops, under siege, suffering they say the market is running out of food about water is not there, electricity, sewage is everywhere in the camp. and they believe that the trucks that were allowed yesterday is not enough to feed a thousand people. ijust want not enough to feed a thousand people. i just want to give you a little bit of numbers. since the 4th of october we used to have about 500 tracks coming from israel and egypt into gaza. now we're as little as 8270 tracks every day in gaza. people in the north are getting most of the suffering for the people in the cells are not in a better situation because in the cells is where we have two thirds of over 80% of the population in a highly density

two densely populated area. the all of them are also getting 20 or 15% of what is needed for them. people are hoping that this american pressure will increase the number of aid trucks coming into gaza. we should remember that this is a jewish holiday in already before the 7th of october there's always a delay in delivering the aid into gaza before the war. now it is impacting and causing more problems for the people in gaza because of keeping the crossing closed during thejewish holiday. closed during the jewish holida . ~ ., ., �* holiday. we go back to beirut. jonathan. _ holiday. we go back to beirut. jonathan, and _ holiday. we go back to beirut. jonathan, and a _ holiday. we go back to beirut. jonathan, and a quick- holiday. we go back to beirut. jonathan, and a quick word. i holiday. we go back to beirut. l jonathan, and a quick word. and last while italy's prime minister has made it clear that she plans to visit lebanon on friday. also talking about that
