And for the Christians, too, it's important because the early church, there was a debate. There was actually an early Christian who proposed a single gospel. He said, you know, we have to take these unwieldy texts and merge them into one nice, clean, coherent text.

But the church resisted that because, you know, in some ways, they knew that the gospels were the closest accounts of the life of Jesus. They were handed down through the apostles, through the apostolic succession. They trusted these texts. And in some ways, the variety in the text, It is a witness to the kind of energy, you know, like the kind of frenetic desire to get this story down.

And even the idea that in some ways it represents different perspectives on the same story. So Christ is hidden in the four Gospels, right? He is somewhat more than the four Gospels. That's important to understand. His life is not simply... told in those gospels.

We have to understand that he's more than that, but that these gospels are the right testimony for his life, and they have a reason why each of them have their own thrust, their own narrative, their own emphasis, and that's very meaningful for the Christians.

I mean, since the beginning of the implementation of the ceasefire, UNICEF managed to get 350 trucks entering inside the north and the south of the Gaza Strip. It's way more than what we have witnessed in the past weeks and months of the war. And this is really absolutely crucial because the needs are immense. Children are still suffering from malnutrition. There is not enough water.

And the level of destruction, especially in the north, is so huge that, yes, it is absolutely critical that all of the hostages are released. And it's critical that humanitarian aid can continue to enter at scale immediately.

Last time I went to the north of the Gaza Strip a few months ago, I really witnessed with my own eyes the level of destruction and you have entire neighbourhoods which have completely been flattened.

Last time I went to the north of the Gaza Strip a few months ago, I really witnessed with my own eyes the level of destruction and you have entire neighbourhoods which have completely been flattened. And yesterday when I was among those families who were walking back to their homes in the north of the Gaza Strip, I could

really wonder what are they going to find because many of them have probably lost their houses. And when I was asking them that, they were saying that they prefer to have a tent built on the rubble of their houses instead of having that tent elsewhere. So the level of destruction and the lack of services are really a challenge.

What is really key is that we are ramping up our support to the north of the Gaza Strip. We are bringing in tarpaulins. We're bringing in warm clothes. We are organising water tracking to distribute water.

This is first and foremost, I would say, a concern for the children. And yesterday when we were on the road among the people who were walking up north, we were distributing, for example, leaflets to raise the awareness of the parents and the children on the dangers of unexploded ordnance and remnants of war.

And yesterday when we were on the road among the people who were walking up north, we were distributing, for example, leaflets to raise the awareness of the parents and the children on the dangers of unexploded ordnance and remnants of war.

We know that between 5 and 10 percent of the ammunitions which have been dropped on the Gaza Strip have not exploded. And we know the injuries, the terrible injuries that this can provoke to children. So this is really the first preoccupation. And then in addition, for our trucks and for our missions to go in the different parts of the Gaza Strip, this is also a concern.
