of their international red cross committee it is said that the lugansk population needs humanitarian aid and the staff of the i.c.r.c. in lugansk report. that the shelling of the waters of the city continue that there is phone communication lack of portable what are the lack of medicine and many people do not know about their relatives. so the red cross highlights a necessity to fix the situation and urges all the sides to. not use the weapons. non-selective character and to. not allow attacking civilians objects or people such as a hospital was transported and the fact that those objects are shelled can be seen through the reports of your colleagues. on the side. markets churches gardens schools state. that happened recently a stadium was damaged. and i believe that the military experts understand that better than all of the present here including me that. is not just excused by the. wrongful shooting or some accident we have also studied the recent reports of the special o.e.c.d. monitoring mission which. they say about the. deteriorating humanitarian situation in the southeast of

first place this humanitarian mission had been agreed by all parties concerned and that the international red cross sad before that it is ready to facilitate this operation is specially with the involvement of all parties and in response to our request the international red cross said that it is at the moment monitoring the situation it is aware that the convoy is approaching the border but it needs no more practical details than it needs clarification regarding the convoy at the same time several officials are really cautious about this mission and some of them even know voiced fears that i might be a covered military operation moscow says that it does not reach international laws and it is a very crucial humanitarian mission as it is especially for daniel skin lugansk regions that have seriously suffered and the past three months of warfare. are to thank so much for bringing us the details and this discussion with them. and as we just heard several ukrainian and western officials slammed russian aid efforts as an attempt to illegally transfer arms into east ukraine broadcaster neil clark believes

saying that it's time is needed for the international red cross which is a contribution to the moscow initiated mission to really establish where the aid should go in the ukrainian region now the ukrainian authorities also claim that the humanitarian convoy has not passed the needed certification and that the international red cross is going to be the one to responsibility for it now let me remind you that it was reported before as just too sad that this humanitarian mission had been agreed by all parties concerned and that the international red cross sat before that it is ready to facilitate this operation especially with the involvement of all parties and at the same time russia was saying that this humanitarian aid as crucial as it is especially meant for dunya skin glue gun school region we have seriously suffered for more than three months of warfare. thanks so much for bringing us those details are reporting there. now people living in the two key cities in caves military science are being told to leave their homes ukraine's security forces say they're preparing a major offensiv

officials with the international red cross are overseeing the delivery. nhk world's craig dale is following the story for us. >> ukrainian leaders took days deciding what to too about this aid. they blame the russians for fueling this conflict by backing separatists who are fighting for independence and they worry the convoys with a ploy to spark some sort of standoff that would allow russian troops to invade. the trucks are now passing through a border crossing controlled by the separatists. they're on their way to the hard-hit city of luhansk. they're allowing ukrainian customs officials to check the vehicles. they want the make sure the trucks only contain aid and not military supplies. international red cross staff are leading the convoy into ukraine and they're reminding both sides to essentially stop fighting to not endanger the convoy. they've taken control of a large part of the city, part of territory the rebels have declared independent. residents have no running water or electricity and they need food, medicine and other supplies. the situation

they have been trying to call the international red cross and the international red cross is not responding to any phone calls from citizens. there's a lot of criticism from the local population in rafah that the international red cross is not responding, is not taking phone calls from people. so who would they call and turn to in times of crisis when they need help? >> mohammed omer, what about this -- what is it -- seven-hour pause and the attack that is being alleged that the israeli military engaged in? attack actually happened just a few minutes after the cease-fire started. the cease-fire started at 10:00. it is 11 or 12 minutes. a bomb attack in the west of gaza city its 30 people. 29 of them were injured. most of them were children. 18-year-old girl was killed. eight-year-old girl was killed. this is the only file nation i've seen today, which in my view is a sign of progress. but still, the gaza strip is quite cautious. people are not really getting outside on full capacity as they would want to. we see in the background some people are moving -- usually the street is quite empty.

we've also heard russian trucks are not certified by the international red cross.re's confusion about what is going on. what seems to be clear is that this is heading towards the ukrainian border border to the where there's humanitarian crisis in the making. 250,000 inhabitants of the city of luhansk have been without water and electricity nine days. russia could use a humanitarian convoy as a pretext to send it's own troops in. we've been hearing that from officials including may tonato. we're watching it closely as it makes its way to the border. >> david we'll leave it there but be back as it changes. >>> the world health organization ruled experimental drugs can be used to try to stop the spread of ebola in west africa. more than 1,000 people are thought to have died in the outbreak. it comes as doctors in spain say a priest that contracted the virus in liberia has died. he failed to respond to treatment. both deaths are in liberia, guinea and sierra leone. our bbc correspondent is with us. people are alarmed to hear there's a death in europe. they are sanction
