UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns of potential human catastrophe in Gaza

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of a potential human catastrophe in Gaza, invoking article 99 of the UN Charter for the first time in his tenure. The move allows Mr Guterres to bring to the attention of the Security Council matters he believes may threaten international peace and security.
As fighting intensifies in the Gaza Strip, we speak to a Palestinian journalist in the south of the territory about the situation on 
the ground. We also speak to the International Committee of the Red Cross about the challenges of visiting Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Also in the programme: British Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick has stepped down over the Conservative government's controversial Rwanda plan; and Time magazine has named US pop star Taylor Swift 2023's 'Person of the Year'.
