Israel's prime minister insists civilians will be allowed to leave before his country's military moves to 'eliminate the remaining terrorist battalions in Rafah'.

A quarter of the population is starving, according to the UN, with aid organisations struggling to get food through due to Israeli restrictions and security concerns. In desperation, a small group of countries has resorted to dropping aid from the air and deliveries have finally been going by sea - but neither of these makes up for the capacity that should be brought in by road.
