Where they're staying now, and they managed to salvage their own one, and now they're going to try and do whatever they can to sort of restore that. But the situation for families in the Serenes is horrific. Pretty much everyone's in the same situation. You have more than 2 million people in Gaza, half of whom are children and most of whom are living in displacement camps in tents. Some are living in damaged, destroyed buildings, which is also dangerous in its own way. So everyone has a massive needs and, you know, UNICEF and other partners have been working beforehand around the COP to try and provide what we can, but it's nowhere near enough. From what I've seen of the pictures of Gaza, there'll be virtually no one whose home is intact. Absolutely not. No. I mean, more than 80% of the structures in Gaza, whether that's homes or water facilities and others have been damaged or destroyed. I mean, the destruction is immense. So these are families, children trying to cope with whatever they have, whatever they could salvage from their homes. And now the next threat to young lives is the floods. It's the rain and the cold. Right, so you're there from the UN trying to help. Who else is trying to help? Unicef, UN agencies are on the ground. We're trying to help, trying to provide tents, tarpaulins, other essential supplies like basic hygiene kits, working with a range of NGO partners on the ground and others. But these are emergency measures. And what we should be doing is really restoring infrastructure, getting classrooms back up built. So just one example, which is a huge issue, particularly given the rains now, is the Sheikh Radwan Pond, which is a stormwater basin which basically holds water to stop flooding in the area in part of Gaza City now, it's of course filling up rapidly. We can't pump it out quick enough because we don't have the equipment to do that. And we've been working to get to equipment in, but it hasn't yet been enabled. So that's a massive risk because that water is actually contaminated with sewage. And if it floods, then the communities around, particularly children, are at huge public health risk. And when you ask for heavy diggers and whatever to be brought in and the Israelis say no, what's the reason they say no? Well, the objection with some of the supplies is that it would go to other use, for weaponry or other use. You know, of course it's not. We very closely monitor how supplies are brought in. We then get them to where they're needed most urgently to provide essential services and support for children and families who need it. Most.

For a month, protesters, mainly young people, have been camping in the center of the capital, Madrid, fed up with the rising number of evictions brought on by rental increases and the cost of living.
