About this episode
Gaza is on the brink of famine. The UN says more than half the population – over a million people – could face catastrophic hunger. But the process of delivering aid is slow and dangerous. The BBC’s Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale tells Mark Lowen about taking part in an air drop of food and other supplies to Gazans. And the Palestinian journalist Ghada Ouda shares what it’s like to live on humanitarian aid in the city of Rafah. The Global Story brings you trusted insights from BBC journalists worldwide.
