And medicine are dwindling fast. Speaking at the Rafah Crossing between egypt and the gaza strip, where more than a 100 trucks, including the initial convoy of 20, are waiting for the green light to drive into gaza, mr guterres pleaded for the trucks to be allowed to move to the other side. Heres some of what he said. So these trucks are notjust trucks. They are a lifeline. They are the difference between life and death for so many people in gaza. And to see them stuck here makes me be very clear. What we need is to make them move. To make them move to the other side of this wall, to make them move as quickly as possible and as many as possible. Recently it was announced by israel and by the United States that humanitarian aid would be allowed to enter gaza. And i know that there is also an agreement between egypt and israel to make it possible. But these announcements were made with some conditions. This must be a sustained effort.

We keep saying about this terrible humanitarian crisis inside gaza. So many injured people with the continued aerial bombardment, and those aid trucks are tantalisingly on the other side of the crossing, they rema
This hezbollah protest in beirut was held in solidarity for palestinians in gaza. There were strong words. And defiance. The speech here was full of anti american and anti israeli slogans. Its unlikely that its done anything to ease tensions that this country could be dragged into this conflict. For days, hezbollah and the israeli army have exchanged fire along the border. So far, the attacks have been contained. But what happens next is likely to be decided farfrom here in iran, hezbollah s main supporter. The tensions also threaten to deepen sectarian divisions. This is a sunni village by the border. This is my cousins house. Sabrina has left. It was too dangerous. She came back to inspect the damage caused by an israeli retaliatory strike. So youre angry that hezbollah has been using this place to attack israel . Yes, ok, im not against that. To start war, let them start from their own homeland, not from our houses. In a pro hezbollah town, different opinions. Im not going to leave
