In the first week of the ceasefire more than 350 have made it into both the north and south of the territory carrying water, hygiene kits, malnutrition treatments, warm clothes, tarpaulins and other critical aid. It's estimated one million children there are facing dire conditions after 15 months of Israeli bombardment that followed a Hamas attack in October 2023 , where the militant group took more than 250 hostages and killed 1200 Israelis. UNICEF's Tess Ingram spoke to Lisa Owen.
