yesterday we reached a very sad milestone of over1 million people sheltering in unwra facilities. are very bad because our teams are stretched, we do not have enough supplies because the number of people is absolutely huge. we have factored only for 150,000 people and now we have1 million. people were telling me in the shelters we do not need anything, we just need protection and safety. how are your teams there? absolutely heroic, lucy, absolutely fantastic to see everyone and reunite with everyone. you get so much energy from them, despite the fact they themselves were displaced and forced to leave their homes in the northern parts of the gaza strip, despite the fact they have lost loved ones and we all are grieving the loss of108 of our people who were killed since the war began in gaza but yes, our teams are there on the front line doing everything possible to provide for people in need. people trust unwra and come to us in search of safety even though our facilities have not been spared and nearly 70 of ourfacilities have been hit, many of them were sheltering people when the

bbc news has spoken today to unwra representatives who have made contact with their people in gaza.r from the idf in the last hour about what the fuel is being used for and how much of it has gone across. the unwra representatives are categoric that they don't have enough to restart their aid operation. the israelis say, "we've sent some". what is the truth here? in terms of the truth, i think that's difficult. but in terms of what's been reported in the past hour or so, the united nations say they do have some supplies of fuel. i mean, previously they've said that they need 160,000 litres of fuel a day to fulfil their obligations, what they're mandated to do, their operations within gaza. what we were told yesterday when the israeli war cabinet said they'd allow in two lorry—loads of fuel every day, apparently that was to carry 60,000 litres, so about a third of what the un say they need on a daily basis. and also, i mean, some charities yesterday saying that this amount — two lorries every day — is certainly not enough to power gaza on a wider level. and it's worth, you know, reit
