of the territory, where aid agencies say they have been struggling to deliver aid for several weeks. earlier i spoke to william schomburg, head of the sub—delegation in gaza for the international committee of the red crossdire. everywhere you look out on the streets there are tents as far as the eye can see, housing families that have been forced to leave their homes. you see children running around barefoot, you see families desperately looking for enough food and water to drink. access to health care has become increasingly complicated as multiple health facilities, including hospitals, have been rendered dysfunctional as a result of the hostilities. the humanitarian needs are severe and growing. while there is a prevailing sense of anxiety as insecurity continues, just last night we heard several bombings across rafah and reports of continued fighting all over the gaza strip. you are in rafah speaking to us from there right now. just paint a scene of what it's like when you step out of where you are right now. like i said, driving around the streets of rafah today, you see a heavily, overcrowded population that are stuck with nowhere to go. you see real difficulty in people trying to access for examp

international partners. for the next day after this accident, i sent two official letters from my institution, one to a united nations organisation and another to the international committee of the red crossthis case. we do not want to cover anything. we can give any information from the ukrainian side, but we demand that russia will open all information that will allow experts from international organisations to visit this place where this plane fell down. just on that point, talking about being open with information, russia says that ukraine shot that plane down. can you say ukraine did not? again, for today, we want to receive all details. we are ready, openly, to check with international experts the details of this plane. after that i can confirm this information or not confirm. but have you been able to check with your own military as to whether missiles were fired in that region at that time? for today i can say that i can't confirm that this plane was brought down by the ukrainian army. just on the news for today then — the $50 billion a package for ukraine — how critical is it to your country, to the war efforts, that the us congress follow suit and agrees to a package here? we ap
