Met with his israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and other Senior Leaders are today. He has been urging restraint from israel after that attack on friday by iran. Mr netanyahus office has told lord cameron that israel will reserve the right to protect itself. Lord cameron is visiting the region adds the same time as germany minister of foreign affairs, they are the First Western diplomat to visit since irans straight over the weekend. More is expected to visit in the coming days. The uk foreign secretarys is also due to visit the prime list of the palestinian authority. After he met with Prime Minister netanyahu, lord cameron spoke to reporters and they asked him if he was satisfied that israel was not going to do anything that could exacerbate the situation. We wanted to demonstrate our solidarity with israel because it was an appalling attack by iran. But to be clear, we have repeated our view that any response should be smart and that should be designed in a way that is going to limit and try to de escalate this conflict. Nobody wants to see this conflict grow and spread. And so those were the things that we were discussing. But at the same time, i think its really important for the eyes of the world to switch to looking at the situation in gaza, where hamas have now held these hostages for 193 days. They have been offered a good deal to release dozens of prisoners from israeli jails in exchange for a pause in the fighting and for a small number of hostages to be released. They should take that deal. And when the world sees them not taking that deal, everyone should recognize that its hamas that is causing this conflict to continue. Well, as ive said, we dont want to see escalation. We hope that anything israel does is as limited and as targeted and as smart as possible. Its in no ones interest that we see escalation. And that is what weve said very clearly to all the people ive been speaking to here in israel. But at the same time, we should also recognize some things that are going in the right direction, and that is huge amounts of aid now potentially coming into gaza, the opening of ashdod port, the opening of new crossings, getting up to that 500 trucks a day. These are the things weve been asking for for a long time. And to be fair to the israeli government, they have now accepted that. And its now a question of delivering those things. And the early signs are encouraging. I think we are seeing a genuine change in israels attitude in aid getting into gaza. They have made a series of promises about opening the port at ashdod, about opening new Crossing Points into gaza, about aiming for 500 trucks a day, switching the water back on into gaza, about allowing more to come through the so called jordan corridor. Now, these are important promises. There are early signs that there are improvements being delivered, but well want to check day by day that it really is happening because its so important we get that aid into gaza, we get people fed, we get them water, we get them the shelter, we get them the medicine they need. Big changes have been promised by the israelis. We believe some things are happening and we want to make sure they all happen. Well a little earlier, before lord camerons meeting with mr netanyahu, our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale sent this report from jerusalem. More than 300 drones and missiles were launched at israel from iran an unprecedented attack that thrust an old war Out Of The Shadows and into the open. The men and women around this table have decided to retaliate but it is not clear when or how. They urging restraint. The message lord cameron reinforced when he met his counterpart injerusalem asking israel to think about the future of the region. Germanys Foreign Minister also in turn urging Israel To Act Wisely. Minister also in turn urging Israel To Act Wisely to act wisely. Israel is an independent to act wisely. Israel is an independent sovereign i to act wisely. Israel is an independent sovereign country and gets to make these choices. We hope and continue to hope that as they do so they do so in a way that is smart as well as tough but is also doing as well as tough but is also doing as little as possible to escalate this conflict. As little as possible to escalate this conflict. ,. ,. , this conflict. Lord cameron said he would also this conflict. Lord cameron said he would also be this conflict. Lord cameron said he would also be raising this conflict. Lord cameron said he would also be raising the this conflict. Lord cameron said he would also be raising the situation| would also be raising the situation in gaza where the humanitarian crisis is still dire. He said he would be asking israel to do more to let aid in but also put pressure on hamas to release the israeli hostages and accept what he called a good ceasefire deal. In iran today parades to celebrate the countrys army and its missile. All in front of the president who had a fresh warning against any retaliation by israel. Translation if they make this latest move to violate our territory and harm the National Interest of the Atomic Republic they must understand that they will face a severe and heavy response. Israel has won new diplomatic support in the wake of irans attack and it wants to use that to put more International Pressure on tehran. The west seems happy to do that as ministers meet today to discuss new sanctions on iran. Sanctions on iran. There is more than we can sanctions on iran.

He has welcomed the support for israel over the weekend but in this war he has not always listened to britains advice. Meanwhile, the United Nations is launching a 2. 8 billion appeal, to provide aid to palestinians in the gaza strip and occupied west bank. Organisers say 90 of the funding would go to gaza, as aid workers there struggle to prevent famine. Theyve warned that thousands of people there dont have the food and supplies they need particularly in the north of the territory. Theyll also focus on re establishing Health Services and infrastructure, including water supplies, which have been destroyed during the war. As the war continues on the hamas run Health Health ministry the debt now stands at 330 b32,899. For more on all of those developments we can speak to melanie ward, the ceo of medical aid for palestinians, an organisation which provides medical aid and support to the Palestinian Health care system. Melanie, you have come back from gaza only a short while ago so first of all, id like you to take us through what you saw on your trip. Like you to take us through what you saw on your trip saw on your trip. Sorry, i was in gaza last saw on your trip. Sorry, i was in gaza last week saw on your trip. Sorry, i was in gaza last week and saw on your trip. Sorry, i was in gaza last week and the saw on your trip. Sorry, i was in | gaza last week and the situation there is an unmitigated Human Disaster of historic proportion. There are over a Million People crowded into rafah which is a small place. They are in makeshift shelters are made of pieces of plastic stretched over a word, they are as close to the sea as they can get because they have moved as far away from the Israeli Ministry as they can. Of course, they cannot escape Aerial Bombardment or bombardment from the sea both of which happened while i was there. There is a lack of absolutely everything you need to prevent a humanitarian disaster. There is a lack of water. So our medical points in areas where there are lots of displaced people are reporting increasing numbers of infections and illnesses caused by dehydration. Theres not enough food and so one in three children under the age of two are acutely malnourished. In the hospitals, i was in one of the hospitals, i was in one of the hospitals in the middle area, and there there is not enough medical equipment. I witness a Child Screaming in pain because she had an arm injury from air strike. They was not enough Pain Medicine for her. They are now home to reuse single use medical items they are literally removing from dead peoples limbs and using them and live people because we cannot get enough medical supplies in. There is also water sewage everywhere and disease has increased because of this the situation could not be more serious and for all the talk we hear including from david cameron, none of it is delivering change at any scale that we can notice. To be honest, it is quite sad to hear him continuing to play with the israelis to switch the water back on. We are six months, more than six months, into this war now and the water still has not been switched on. It is unconscionable. It is still has not been switched on. It is unconscionable. Is unconscionable. It is difficult to listen to is unconscionable. It is difficult to listen to some is unconscionable. It is difficult to listen to some of is unconscionable. It is difficult to listen to some of your is unconscionable. It is difficult to listen to some of your testimony there, melanie, and despite everything that you are facing their as aid workers and of course, the People Living through this, all those palestinian families, it particularly the children you talk about, how do you think this aid from the un, this massive injection of funds can make any difference, particularly, when it comes to averting a possible famine . The aid is desperately averting a possible famine . The aid is desperately needed. Averting a possible famine . The aid is desperately needed. Lets averting a possible famine . The aid is desperately needed. Lets be is desperately needed. Lets be clear, the reason is not reaching people at the moment is because the Israeli Military is actively preventing it from doing so. They Must Immediately open all the Land Crossings and give free access for aid and aid workers. And, as you said in your introduction, there is nowhere that is more important than this, than in the north of gaza. We have a team in the north, so far we have a team in the north, so far we have managed to distribute hygiene items, dignity kits, Warm Clothing to around 60,000 displaced people in the last few months across a 31 different shelters. But what we cannot get to people in the quantities that is needed, is food. It is in the north of gaza where the famine is most advanced. Last week, for example, we saw a unicef convoy that was trying to travel from the south of gaza to the north, to start trading to deal with the Malnutrition Situation being fired upon by Israeli Soldiers in a prearranged convoy that was moving from the south to the north. These are the kinds of obstacles that we face in our way. It is a massive uphill battle and the solutions are really simple. We simply need israel to allow the aid in, to stop targeting humanitarian workers, but ultimately, until there is a ceasefire we will not be able to do every is needed to deal with a humanitarian crisis. Im sure its going to get a lot worse, we are still expecting that israel may plan to attack rafah in the weeks ahead and that is a huge concern for everybody on the ground and for all of us who are working on this crisis. ~. , of us who are working on this crisis. ~. ,. , crisis.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences following your trip to gaza last week. Just to say, that we have not been able to get any comment from israel on some of the things that melanie has said. It is worth mentioning that in the past israel has said that it is not deliberately targeting aid workers. Inflation in the uk has fallen to its lowest level for 2. 5 years. The rate at which Consumer Prices rise was three point 2 last month, thats down from three point 4 in february. Food prices were the main reason for the fall, which was slightly less than had been expected. Inflation has been gradually coming down since its peak of ii 18 months ago. This report from our chief economics correspondent, dharshini david. From the moment her day starts, higher prices are taking their toll on sam who cares for adults with learning difficulties. Water is 8 more expensive than a year ago. Energy bills are down 18 but long related relief for many. Food and drink, however, is up 4 overall. Milk is cheaper as he may have noticed that there could be overshadowed by sugar which is 14 dearer. Sam has had pay rises but she is forgoing things from haircuts to eye tests to make ends meet. I have thought about leaving for a better paid job but i love myjob, i am very passionate about myjob and its, actually not a job its a vocation which i feel we need more people to come into this work but if they look at the pay, they would not want to do this work.
