Aid agencies say Gaza fuel deliveries do not go far enough

After pressure from the US, Israel allows two truckloads of fuel a day to enter Gaza to stop the strip’s sewage system from collapsing. Aid organisations have said the deliveries amount to ‘crumbs’ and are not enough to alleviate the risk of starvation for Gaza’s two million people.

Also on the programme: as opposition leaders call for Benjamin Netanyahu to step down, we ask if the Israeli PM is living on borrowed time. And the BBC speaks to director Ridley Scott, whose Napoleon Bonaparte biopic has irked French reviewers.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Catherine Nicholson, European Affairs Editor for the France 24 TV network, and Nicholas Westcott, professor of practice in diplomacy at the SOAS University of London.
