He adds: 'We need to know safe corridors, safe paths of access, safe places to live to receive aid. 'We are not sure we are going to get ,' he adds, saying the UN is 'deep in negotiation', but he is a 'bit pessimistic'.īut they 'damn well better' get more tomorrow, he says.Īsked about a short-term solution to stop the violence, Mr Griffiths echoed the head of the UN's words, saying there was 'a need for a humanitarian ceasefire'. He says the 20 trucks allowed in yesterday was 'a very good start', but 'nowhere near' what is needed to help the two million people on the strip. The United Nations humanitarian aid chief, Martin Griffiths, is now on the show and talking about the corridor that has opened up in Rafah to bring some aid into Gaza. 'We have got to step this up and get aid and fuel over the border within hours, not days,' she adds. She says everyone is 'seriously concerned' about the lack of aid getting through to Gaza - especially when it comes to power for hospitals. Ms Nandy also says Labour supports Israel's right to self defence, alongside the Palestinian people 'at what is a desperately, desperately critical time where the world simply cannot afford to walk away'. 'So I think it is right the government is taking care in the way it is approaching this and adding to international efforts to get more aid through the Rafah crossing.' 'We have got to get the hostages out and get far more aid in,' she adds. 'Everyone is using a great deal of care,' she adds, particularly because of the number of hostages, the ongoing rocket strikes by Hamas and the 'humanitarian catastrophe' in Gaza. Trevor Phillips' final guest is Labour's shadow minister Lisa Nandy.Īsked whether she is comfortable with the 'tone and substance' of the government's response, she says yes. Ms Nandy says her party's focus was on winning with 'a positive alternative', and Labour will be doing that every day ahead of the next general election. Trevor argues Labour may be 'beholden' to other parties taking votes from the Tories at the next election - such as Reform, the former Brexit Party set up by Nigel Farage. 'We are confident we are right about the future of this country, but we are not complacent.'

'It is starting to make an impact,' she says. She says the party is focused on taking their place on the world stage, as well as sorting out the economy at home after the 'experiments' of Liz Truss, and supporting young people. 'People are genuinely sick of the Tories,' she says, 'but we have done a huge amount of work over recent years to show that there is not just an opposition to this Tory government but a genuine alternative'. Now to those by-election victories, and Trevor Phillips asks whether Labour are putting forward a positive alternative or just picking up votes due to Conservative mistakes in power.
