about the humanitarian situation in the camp, and indeed across the gaza strip with the un's world food programmearian aid has entered the gaza strip since the beginning of october. that's at a time when the un had already been concerned about shortages of food and now they are saying they are not sure they have enough food stocks to enable them to feed gaza for this month. a lot of pressure on all fronts and as we are reporting we are waiting to hear what israel decides with this other layer of tension, the direct confrontation between israel and iran. we will keep an eye on all the different developments but for now we take you back to london. thanks very much indeed. let's turn now to a big milestone for spacex. elon musk�*s company has succeeded in its ambition to catch the booster system which launches its starship rocket, safely landing the device as it dropped to earth after a test flight in texas. we'll explain why that's such an important moment but first let's go to that spectacular moment. the feat means it will be easier to reuse the launch technology to make space flights more often

this comes at a time when the un's world food programme has said that no food aid or desperately neededis month goes on. for some perspective on the pressure is now being exerted on the palestinians, particularly around jabalia, i have spoken to oliver mcternan who is the founder and director of a group called forward thinking, a mediation group which talks to all sides in the middle east. even when the americans were saying, "0h, we are close to agreement", i understand there was even then no real communication going on. it was either wishful thinking or, again, playing out in the background of the democratic convention that was going on at the time. but certainly the feedback i have been getting, there has been no serious attempt to address the hostages situation. when i was injerusalem ten days ago and had meetings in the knesset, the message then was very much, "look, we have to focus on the security of the 10 million", hence the operations in lebanon. and sadly, the 100 or so still kept in gaza has not been given priority. i think that is the reality we have seen being acted out ov

un agencies to go have their staff have access and safe passage. this is a struggle not only that unrwa faces, but the world food programme and even non—un agencies doingen the financial times reported about private traders that used to be given permits by israel. there are five private traders given permits to bring in food, but even they are not able to bring in aid because it has gotten so expensive. 0ne banana in gaza is $12, before october, imagine one tomato being $20. so this is a condition created by the israeli military. this is not rocket science. bring in more aid, you stabilise the market, you allow people to eat. there might be some flour left in north gaza, but not much beyond that. as you know, my family runs a soup kitchen. they have closed because they do not want to be targeted or do not want to create unsafe conditions. i believe your brother had been running that soup kitchen and you say now that has been closed? yes, we closed that. we operated a pop—up kitchen and early this morning, the idf asked the people in the west of gaza to evacuate. so that'as created another difficulty for us, where we try to step up and provide some rice
