We heard more about that from our Middle East correspondent Yolande Nell, but first she told Lucy Hockings about day two of the US Vice President's visit.
Today, we've seen quite heart-wrenching pictures from Derabala of some kind of burial taking place.
Can you tell us what was happening there today?
Yolanel in Jerusalem.
Following the clashes on Sunday, Israel said it would stop aid deliveries into Gaza, though it later relented, apparently under US pressure.
Today, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, told us that despite the ceasefire agreement, not enough aid and medical supplies were getting into the Strip, and he called on Israel not to impose restrictions.
He spoke to Anna Foster about conditions in Gaza.
If you take the famine and then combine it with a mental health problem that we see, which is rampant, the situation is a crisis for generations to come.
There was a promise for massive scale-up and 600 trucks per day.
Now average is between 200 to 300.
So that's not really what we expected.
And the other problem is the crossings.
We need multiple crossings, all available crossings.
So if there are no multiple crossings, then it's very difficult to scale up.
Speaking directly to those politicians who are making political decisions about aid, what is your message to them?
You know, the innocent people should not be impacted by these political decisions.
Food aid and medical services should not be weaponized unless, you know, the remains of some of the hostages are transferred.
Israel said it wouldn't allow transfer of or scale up of food aid or humanitarian aid.
And this should not be, to be honest, put as a condition.
There should be unconditional transfer of aid to those who need it.
