In gaza, a desperate wait for food amid warnings of famine. Aid deliveries have been, at best, sporadic. When help does arrive, people rush to get it. Translation when we were displaced at the beginning, we used to eat rotten bread because of the high prices of food here. This is the only place where i can get food for my children. The attack on a convoy that killed seven aid workers this week has put even more pressure on israel. From the us came a warning it should do more to boost humanitarian assistance and protect civilians and aid workers or risk losing american support. Israel is not only facing pressure from its allies, but also threats from its enemies. The army here is on high alert. Theres anxiety about a possible iranian strike. Iran has vowed to respond to the death of a Senior Commander in damascus earlier this week, in an attack iran has blamed on israel. Both sides may still want to avoid a full out war.

Two military workers. Earlier, i spoke to ciaran donnelly, Senior Vice President of International Programs at the International Rescue committee to get his reaction. Aid groups like the ioc have been calling for more routes into gaza. What you make of the response by israel after the pressure was applied by the United States . 50 israel after the pressure was applied by the United States . So we obviously welcome applied by the United States . So we obviously welcome any applied by the United States . So we obviously welcome any effort applied by the United States . So we obviously welcome any effort to obviously welcome any effort to increase the volume of aid to gaza, but the situation on the ground as diet and getting worse and the gestures that have been announced in the last day also fall far short of what is necessary for organisations like the ioc and wider humanitarian community to be able to get in aid. There are really two reasons why aid is not being provided to the people of gaza in the volume and level that is needed to avert fully fledged famine and catastrophe. One is the blockages at Border Crossings, that is simply not possible to get enough trucks across and off Border Crossings to get in aid. Opening up more crossings helps and opening up additional crossings is imperative, and so is removing blockages, the delays, those Border Crossings holding up the trucks going in. The second thing that is equally important is the ongoing War Inside Gaza which presents incredibly high risks to both aid agencies trying to dispute aid and civilians trying to reach that aid. And access those services. So bringing about an end to fighting and a ceasefire is equally critical to establish the preconditions for us to be able to deliver aid on the ground. What preconditions for us to be able to deliver aid on the ground. What more would ou deliver aid on the ground. What more would you like deliver aid on the ground. What more would you like to deliver aid on the ground. What more would you like to see deliver aid on the ground. What more would you like to see israel deliver aid on the ground. What more would you like to see israel doing would you like to see israel doing in terms of logistics on the ground action to get more aid in and to get those lines of trucks into gaza, what should be done . So those lines of trucks into gaza, what should be done . Those lines of trucks into gaza, what should be done . So we really need to open what should be done . So we really need to open up what should be done . So we really need to open up as what should be done . So we really need to open up as many what should be done . So we really need to open up as many border i need to open up as many Border Crossings as possible. Weve been seeing airdrops, weve been seeing maritime routes opened up and they really are important, but there are risks being a distraction from the reality that gaza can be accessed by road, from ports and airports around region from egypt, jordan, israel itself, so opening up those crossings and then allowing trucks through great volumes is necessary. So not having the kind of intrusive checks for every single item on a truck which is checked as it is today against often are in changing list of things where trucks can be rejected if one single item is deemed inappropriate, that level of bureaucracy which is intentionally blocking the volume of aid getting in, that has to be removed. 50m; blocking the volume of aid getting in, that has to be removed.

Sorry to interrupt, but i heard in, that has to be removed. Sorry to interrupt, but i heard that in, that has to be removed. Sorry to interrupt, but i heard that word interrupt, but i heard that word intentionally. Do you believe israel is intentionally slowing down the flow of aid into gaza . So is intentionally slowing down the flow of aid into gaza . Flow of aid into gaza . So the israeli authorities flow of aid into gaza . So the israeli authorities are flow of aid into gaza . So the israeli authorities are the flow of aid into gaza . So the l israeli authorities are the ones flow of aid into gaza . So the israeli authorities are the ones who control those Border Crossings. They established the lists of what is permitted to cross into gaza. They control the opening and closing of those Border Crossings. They have it entirely within their power to take measures to free up the access to gaza to allow significantly more volumes of aid in. I gaza to allow significantly more volumes of aid in. Gaza to allow significantly more volumes of aid in. I want to ask you about another volumes of aid in. I want to ask you about another issue volumes of aid in. I want to ask you about another issue that volumes of aid in.

Over 200 aid Agency Workers have been killed, most of them palestinian and earlier this week, we had seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen killed in a horrendous incident. We need to see accountability for attacks against aid workers and Aid Facilities. It is a welcome move to see an investigation into the actions taken by israeli authorities in the wake of the World Central Kitchen attack, but we can only see that happen when it is an attack on people who hold passports from western countries we cannot. Also aid workers killed pro palestinian aid workers killed pro palestinian Aid Facilities including our own offices have been bombed. Were still waiting for explanations in the wake of that incident, still calling for investigations and accountability for all attacks against humanitarian facilities. But in orderfor aid workers against humanitarian facilities. But in order for aid workers and against humanitarian facilities. But in orderfor aid workers and aid agencies to operate safely, we need more than just assurances we need real action to bring about an end to the bombing and fighting, we need a ceasefire that will allow us move around safely and to be able to access communities that desperately need humanitarian assistance. Blew; need humanitarian assistance. Very briefl , we need humanitarian assistance. Very briefly, we have need humanitarian assistance. Very briefly, we have about need humanitarian assistance. Very briefly, we have about 20 seconds left, but the un has poured some night Time Operations for 48 hours, many aid agencies have also suspended their operations in gaza, what is the situation on the ground like now given the circumstances . It remainsjust a very like now given the circumstances . It remains just a very high risk and unpredictable situation. There is not enough aid being moved already, these restrictions we are putting in place only make it harder, so aid agencies in the midst of great uncertainty are taking great risks to deliver what sadly is very insufficient levels of aid.

The citys mayor reported that iranian made drones hit several buildings, including a residential blocks of flats, early on saturday morning. 11 people were injured. Shortly after, president Volodymyr Zelensky said that ukraine could run out of air defence missiles if russia keeps up its intense long range bombing operations. Our Eastern Europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, shared an update from kyiv. Well, there are constant strikes on kharkiv at the moment. It is becoming increasingly regular to hear of missile and Drone Attacks against ukraines second city, up in the north east of the country. Certainly, we know that seven people were killed early this morning. So the first missile struck sometime after midnight. Two s 300 russian missiles, according to the ukrainian authorities, fired at kharkiv, killing residents in a residential areas of the city and wounding other people there. They then talk about a wave of drones that were launched at kharkiv city centre. They say those were shot down by ukraines air defences. And of course, when that happens, it means fragments fault of the ground, means fragments fall to the ground, they explode, more people are injured and more buildings are damaged. We know about nine residential buildings, blocks of flats, have been badly damaged in this latest attack on kharkiv, but it is the latest of many. Certainly, we dont know exactly what the russians were targeting. They say it was a military target. We do know, though, in recent days, the Energy System in kharkiv has come under direct and sustained attack and that that city is now living with blackouts, rolling blackouts, people without power for at least six hours every day. Early results from slovakias closely fought president ial election suggest the nationalist candidate, peter pelligrini, is on course to win. A number of local Media Outlets say he appears to have an unassailable lead over his liberal rival, ivan korcok. Mr pelligrini is seen as having more pro kremlin views compared to his opponent, mr. Korcok who is a pro western former diplomat. The role of president is seen as largely ceremonial but highly influential post especially at a time when there are divisions over support to ukraine. Final results are expected in the coming hours. Our correspondent rob cameron, is in prague, in the neighbouring czech republic. He spoke to us before those projected results. The Opinion Polls ahead of this vote was so tight, i think we could be waiting perhaps for the next two, three hours until we know who has become the new president of slovakia, in what is an extremely consequential vote. Some people have said the entire future of liberal democracy in slovakia hangs in the balance. Underthat democracy in slovakia hangs in the balance. Under that man, the liberal, former Foreign Minister at ivan korcok, his supporters say that he is the man to act as a bulwark against the populist nationalist government of Prime Minister, and his attempts, his critics say, to unpick and dismantle slovakias Civil Society and the elements of slovakias democracy and replace them with what some are calling an ill liberal democracy. Standing against him as the candidate of robert ficos government, peter pellegrini, head of the parliament could lead to one of the parties in mr ficos coalition. He says ivan korcok is the candidate of war and mr pellegrini is a candidate of peace, especially when it comes to ukraine. He is against, like mr fico, sending Military Support Ukraine and favours a peaceful solution. So two different men, two very different visions of how slovakia should move forward and slovakias place in the world. Rab slovakias place in the world. Rob cameron reporting a few hours earlier. We want to bring you an update now, from the reuters news agency. Ivan korcok hasjust conceded defeat in the slovak president ial election. That news coming in in the last few minutes. He has also congratulated his rival, peter pellegrini, on his victory. That coming in just now from the reuters news agency. It does appear that pellegrini is now on course to become the next president of slovakia. Moving on now. Nicaragua hasjoined mexico in suspending diplomatic relations with ecuador.
