. >>> and joining me next is a member of oxfam. here's what one of her colleagues says she is seeing in gaza. >> continuous shelling everywhere. but what is more serious is the humanitarian situation. children here are shouting of hunger. there is no food in the market and supermarkets for those families who actually have left their houses in gaza. north gaza. and they are staying, most of them are staying in schools, and the others are staying actually with other people here in the middle area. and number of those families are staying in the streets. so it's a real catastrophe. >> joining us now from the west bank is busha, a policy lead at oxfam, thank you so much for joining us. what is most urgent right now? >> everything is an urgency right now. there's no water. there's no food. there's no electricity. this is my colleague trying to get in touch every day. my family was also displaced to the middle area. water is a big problem. it's the number one, you know, need for showers, for drinking, for cleaning, for cooking. and water

your spokeswoman for oxfam in gaza. is there enough aid? is it what your message to the president?t the situation this is far from being any good move. of course, aid is welcomed, the situation is extremely dire extremely dire. 20 trucks is not at all. it's a drop, really, in an ocean of needs, the lack of fuel. water. food. medical supplies. there has been destruction of bakeries, grocery stores, everything in our area, in the south, everywhere. why would you bomb bakeries again and again? we run out of bread. we are trying to make our own brett this morning. last night, the kids were having cucumbers, because when they were hungry, we gave them cucumbers. the problem is the world knows all that, the world knows that the gaza humanitarian situation is already extremely dire, and before that date. >> coming up, donald trump claims sidney powell was never his attorney, just days after she took a plea deal in the georgia election interference case. unfortunately for him, we have receipts showing otherwise. and don't forget, you can listen to the mehdi show anytime for free wherever y

. >> joining me from ramallah in the west bank is whadil azaz, oxfam international.nk you for talking with us. so doctors in gaza are warning of a dire situation at hospitals, and the u.n. is concerned that not enough humanitarian aid is entering the territory, particularly fuel that is needed to run hospital generators. israel says that's because hamas would steal it. what is your reaction to that? >> in fact, fuel is needed for humanitarian needs. we know that there are so many needs. not only in hospitals. we are talking about water desalination plants, three of them. we are talking about 65 sewage plants. we are talking about electricity needs. there are -- there is so much need. bakeries that have been bombed by israel in the last couple of weeks where people desperately need bread and need access to food. all of these humanitarian and civilian uses of fuel is immediate and urgent. saving lives. it's not only something that is needed for hospitals, although the hospital yesterday ran out of fuel. and it's estimated that only -- in 48 hours, all hospitals in gaza

the international organization oxfam announced: hunger is used as a weapon of war in the war with gaza gaza with a population of 2,300,000 receives only 10% of essential food. the zionist regime has closed all border routes for the entry of essential materials to gaza. sometimes rafah on the egyptian border is heavily surrounded and only a few relief trucks are allowed to enter. i wish it was a dream. this is said by a boy from gaza. when he screams over the ruins of his house . during the night, next to the wife's body. and his martyr's son sitting, mercia sings, i had brought milk for you. i thought that the life of the sky in the north of gaza is black with smoke, and the south of it is filled with concrete piles on top of rubble. god willing, for the third time, the fighters of the occupying regime hit the water pipes in ajlai street in gaza. the aid of the united nations for those who are in the camp is not enough. there is nothing useful in these so-called aids. we die in silence, except for water and food, fuel is the elixir of life in gaza these days. if the necessary fuel for

is saying >> and indeed, oxfam is saying that starvation is being used as a weapon of war against gazayou as to what's happened, where this strike has been and what the aftermath of ramifications are. but, of course , let's just reflect that course, let's just reflect that it is very much an active political question here at home. sir keir starmer meeting labour muslim mps at the moment, continuing his efforts to . well, continuing his efforts to. well, there's been a backlash over his position on israel and gaza in particular his comments on israel having the right to cut off power and water from gaza . off power and water from gaza. let's get more with our political editor , christopher political editor, christopher hope. chris, i think you had angela rayner with him to hold his coat as well . his coat as well. >> well, that's right. it's a big meeting there with with muslim mps and peers. it goes back to the 11th of october when keir starmer said in an interview with lbc that israel was right to withhold water and power and from from from gaza as they try and to deal with the hostag

i've been speaking to bushra khalidi, the west bank policy lead for oxfam.en working on the aid response since the humanitarian crisis began. bushra khalidi, thank you very much forjoining us. if we can just start by looking at the situation today at the rafah crossing, what is the situation there as far as you know it? the crossings have remained closed. we have been hopeful since monday that they may open every other day, but this has not yet happened. we have no indication of when this might happen. yesterday night, we had an indication that this would happen today, and it has not and it is very unlikely to happen this late at night. also, fuel was not part of the deal for humanitarian aid to enter, so i'm not exactly sure how the distribution is going to happen without fuel, i'm not sure how waste water treatment plants that are pouring raw sewage into the sea at the moment are going to operate without fuel, i'm not exactly sure how hospitals are going to operate their generators without fuel. so fuel is an essential necessity, and that needs to also be

that's compared to more than a 100 every day before the war oxfam describes the situation as horrific and says $2300000.00 to the ends up being collectively punished in contravention of international humanitarian. no longer that goes west will settle, has this report about a group of volunteers getting all shots? a refugee camp in han units providing food to families in tens of thousands of displaced palestinians are living in this camp. set up by do you have relief and what agency and fund eunice? they left their homes in the north and goes a street to escape is read. it's right. many have most family members now they're facing starvation. the degree of this warranty is led by every by him. he's hoping to use some of the suffering they are handing out bien, atlanta. so the fact that i used to live in a bit of fiji campbell, my assembly and i been forced to move here to the methodist is really been part of many families are displaced to have to initially for started by another displaced but as pinion with an extend, somebody in my mind is if somebody, if 10 on a couple of we fall into
