humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. american officials argued such a move would be "divorced from reality". every other member of the council backed the resolution — apart from the uk, which abstained. there's been a chorus of outrage from other countries, charities and human rights groups. israel has thanked the us, saying a ceasefire would give hamas — which is classed as a terror group by many western governments — in gaza, there's no safe place, says the un secretary general. the health care system is collapsing. hospitals have become battlegrounds, and palestinians have no shelter and everything else needed to survive, he says. this was the scene in khan younis in the south yesterday in the aftermath of an israeli airstrike as the military pushes ahead with its war against hamas. hours later, at the un in new york, the secretary general called for a ceasefire and had this warning. there is a high risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in gaza, which would have devastating consequences. we anticipate that would result in a complete breakdown of public order and increased pressure for mass displacement into egypt. i fear the consequences could be devastating for the security of the entire region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his calls and voted against it. our goal should not simply be to stop the war for today. it should be to end the war forever, break the cycle of unceasing violence, and build something stronger in gaza and across the middle east so that history does not keep repeating itself. this britain abstained in the vote. every other member of the security council backed the ceasefire. we call for further— and longer pauses to get aid to palestinians and allow space for further hostage releases. . but we cannot vote in favour. of a resolution which does not condemn the atrocities hamas - committed against innocent israeli civilians on the 7th of october. in gaza, the situation for civilians grows more dire by the day. the world food programme is warning of widespread famine and says nine in ten gazans are not getting enough food. "our life is extremely difficult", says hassanein, another displaced gaza resident, now in rafah. "there's not even water. "this is what we face every day", he says. as the fighting continues, more people are being killed and the suffering of survivors is getting worse. israel says it is taking steps to protect civilians in gaza, but the world is asking, is it enough? let me show you these pictures of the scenes inside khan younis, the medical centre, we have seen pictures of injured people and children being brought to the medical centre. more than a million displaced from the north of gaza have fled, many of them living in tents without humanitarian aid they need and the fighting has been described as house—to—house here. we've already seen an increase in the military operation in the south of the gaza strip since the ceasefire broke down in a week ago. earlier, i spoke with gaza correspondent rushdhi abualouf who's in istanbul. he gave me the latest in the situation in the jabalia refugee camp. situation in the jabalia refugee cam -. , situation in the jabalia refugee cam. , , situation in

jabalia for the last five days, the tents were surrounded by all directions and there are thousands of people in the camp. the original number 250,000, of people in the camp. the original number250,000, many of people in the camp. the original number 250,000, many of them left to other places and gaza city and some are in their homes but still thousands of people inside the camps, i have received messages this morning from a man who was displaced and he moved to jabalia and he said he has been without food and water for the last five days and there is heavy bombardment around the area. he said we are starving and we understand that none of the eight allowed into gaza has reached the area of gas and gaza city since the ceasefire and especially after the ceasefire, the road between gaza and the north was completely shut. the northern part of gaza, could not get aid for the last two weeks, especially at this camp at jabalia which is surrounded. nothing was allowed into the people residing in that camp and people keep sending recorded messages, appealing for water. they said none of the hospitals are functioning in the north. the ambulance service is not working and hamas have issued a statement and they say we are unable to locate or count the number of people killed and injured because most of the hospitals are running out of facilities in gaza city itself, the hospital itself was partially working for the last couple of days. this morning i had testimony from someone in the hospital. he said we had to many people inside the hospital because there is no space anywhere in the cemetery and the hospital was partially working in gaza city. the second key area of the israeli operation is the south in khan younis on this morning about 50 people were killed and overall, about 21 people were killed as the health ministry cannot count the number of people killed in the north. khan younis is surrounded by chants from the eastern side and the northern site and tents are slowly moving towards one of the main streets leading to the heart of the city. most of the people were displaced back in october that came from the north to khan younis they had to leave again, the map the israelis are issuing, they keep talking to me and say it's complicated to understand the mechanisms of this and for should go. they issued a statement this morning saying people should move to the west of khan younis but people who have been killed in the western area, it is difficult to understand how to deal with this especially with the problem with the internet connectivity is very bad and people are using a qr code to get information out. that was one of the reasons the un secretary general pushed for a voter may complete ceasefire, the us used its veto to reject and the uk abstained. i wasjoined earlier by our middle east correspondent who talked us through what happened in new york last night.— new york last night. there's a lot of pressure _ new york last night. there's a lot of pressure to _ new york last night. there's a lot of pressure to do _ new york last night. there's a lot of pressure to do something - new york last night. there's a lot | of pressure to do something about gaza, shows the isolation of america on not supporting the idea of a ceasefire in gaza and i think, even in recent days, we have seen a number of senior american officials saying the saudi authorities need to do more to protect the citizens of gaza. antony blinken said there was a gap between what israel was saying and what was being done in gaza so again there is a lot of concern about the humanitarian situation. the americans share the view of the israelis that a ceasefire right now would give time for hamas to regroup and to perhaps launch more attacks against israel. the americans say israel has the right to defend itself and again, the reaction we've had from this vote and the vote itself shows that there is growing concern and pressure on the israelis and it may be a matter of time before the americans are forced to change their position and start supporting the ceasefire. this time a week ago — supporting the ceasefire. this time a

about | supporting the ceasefire. this time i a week ago we were talking about the fact a seven day ceasefire had existed, hostage releases and release of palestinian prisoners but a week on it seems we are perhaps further away than ever from actually trying to put that into place even though it seems to be what all science would perhaps appreciate? exactly. we are talking about the humanitarian situation in gaza, hundreds of thousands of palestinians in a desperate situation, widespread shortages of basic supplies, images of hospitals completely overwhelmed and unable to treat patients, large numbers of casualties as a result of the attacks and those shelters that have been designated safe areas by the israeli military under a lot of pressure because they simply cannot cope with another wave of displaced residents. at the same time, 130 hostages remain in captivity in gaza and there is no hope for any kind of deal right now for a ceasefire in gaza, any kind of deal that could secure the release of the hostages so in israel that weight continues, the families and friends of the hostages still have hope that any kind of deal could be reached so those people could be released and internationally there is the hope that some kind of truce could be reached to guarantee a pause in hostilities, for more humanitarian aid to be delivered in gaza for those people in desperate need right now. ., ., , ., �* those people in desperate need right now. ., ., , ., ~ ., , now. that was our middle east correspondent. _ now. that was our middle east correspondent. let's _ now. that was

moment. the southern city of khan younis, the medical centre we have seen again pictures of injured people, when the children being taken to the medical centre and as our correspondent described, those are the images that put pressure on the international community than they are trying to decide what direction this conflict should go in next after two months of fighting and also the view across from southern israel to gaza this morning, live pictures from southern israel and again as we do most days, we have seen plumes of smoke rising on the horizon. that visual reminder of the fierce fighting that goes on, that is the north of the gaza strip that you can see that as the israeli military operation has stepped up over the last week or so since that ceasefire, we have really seen increased numbers of air and increased numbers of air and increased fighting in all areas of the gaza strip. more from me throughout the day here on bbc news but for now, we must head back to london. thank you so much. anna foster injerusalem bringing us all the latest developments. there's fury among some countries at the un climate summit in dubai, after the oil cartel 0pec urged its members to block any deal targeting fossilfuels. france's energy minister says she's "stunned" after 0pec — the organisation of the petroleum exporting countries — rallied its members to reject any proposal at cop28 to phase out fossil fuels. spain's ecology minister has called the move �*disgusting'. live now to dubai and our correspondent carl nasman. to what extent is this row over fossil

out and i think one additional thing we need to realise is we never wanted the loss and damage fund. it is a necessity out of the fact we agreed, as a global community, what we are willing to give up only up to 1.5, limiting to that. people do not realise that people are talking about two, three, you hear billionaires and millionaires talking but i think we need to realise the reason we are talking about the loss and damage fund is because we have agreed to 1.5 and there is loss in that and we need the loss and damage fund. bzierr; need the loss and damage fund. very briefl and need the
