BBC World Service - Newshour, Gaza Rafah crossing remains closed

BBC correspondent Rushdi Abu Alouf tells us he travelled 10 km to secure bottled water and that rubbish is piling up on the streets. UN aid chief Martin Griffiths says Gaza's health system and hospitals are "collapsing before our eyes" without water, fuel and medical supplies. 

Also on the programme: Poland on the cusp of getting a new government; and China's Belt and Road Initiative promised increased trade with Russia, how successful has it been?
