Gaza: 20 trucks of aid allowed in via Egypt

20 trucks of medical aid, food and water have been allowed into the Gaza Strip from Egypt in the first shipment since Israel imposed a total blockade two weeks ago

Twenty trucks of humanitarian aid have been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip from Egypt, for the first time since the start of the latest war. Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza two weeks ago after Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel. The UN says far more humanitarian help is needed. We hear from aid agencies.

Also in the programme: Why did Hamas decide to release two US hostages? And the man taking a chainsaw to Argentina's politics.
