While pressure mounts on the BBC to reconsider airing a Gaza appeal, relief workers struggle to provide aid on the ground. Inigo Gilmore reports from Gaza city.

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York also urged the broadcaster to backtrack - saying the appeal was about "humanity". Channel 4, ITV and Five are all screening the appeal tomorrow.
