all warn of a deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Over a million people there urgently need shelter from the winter conditions, while a lack of sanitation has left them at risk from toxic floodwaters.

Shana Lowe is a spokeswoman for the Norwegian Refugee Council, another charity which faces being banned from Gaza.

She spoke to my colleague Rebecca Kesby and explained first why they haven't fulfilled Israel's demands.

I mean, I'm sure you're aware that the Israeli authorities have made accusations multiple times that some staff that work for aid organisations or even the UN UNRWA organisation that was running the aid effort in Gaza for many years, they've made accusations that some staff have been affiliated to Hamas.

I mean, doesn't Israel have a right to know who is going into the Gaza Strip?

There's also been the allegation that Hamas has been stealing humanitarian aid from various organisations.

And actually, the BBC did look into this and did gather evidence from sources within Gaza that, in fact, significant quantities of aid had been taken by Hamas during the conflict.

It all comes on the day that foreign ministers from several countries, including the UK here, but also Japan and Canada, have been talking about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.

With 25 aid organisations effectively banned under this new ruling, what does that mean for the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip?

Now, as I was coming into the BBC headquarters to record this programme, I passed through a street which is full of tents.

Living inside them, just some of the many homeless people who now populate London.

Homelessness is a growing problem in relatively wealthy nations, not just the UK, but the US and Canada and others.

And even among those who want to solve the problem, there's still much debate about how to do so.

Well, a new study is looking into whether handing over money directly to homeless people can help.

Researchers at King's College London are giving the equivalent of about two and a half thousand dollars to some rough sleepers and then following their progress over the course of a year to see if this helps them find somewhere permanent to live.

They can come and they can have a hot drink.

We do cereal, we do toast.

I haven't felt this sort of excited about life in a long time.
