Simon Eccleshall: Doctors Without Borders Head of Programmes on the need for aid and a ceasefire in Gaza

  • Summary

  • A humanitarian worker says a ceasefire in Gaza is desperately needed, with negotiations reaching the final stages.

    The conflict has killed more than 46-thousand people in the region since the wars began with the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7.

    CNN reports the agreement would see a phased release of Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

    Doctors Without Borders Head of Programmes Simon Eccleshall told Tim Beveridge it'd mean aid can reach those who desperately need it.

    He says before the crisis 500 trucks and supplies flowed into the area every day, but now there's a fraction of that.
