UN: Aid yet to reach civilians in Gaza

Israeli officials say 93 trucks entered Gaza but the UN says no aid has been distributed yet.

As Gaza residents wait for aid, health officials say more than 40 people have been killed by air strikes overnight, as Israel continues its new offensive. We hear from a man who lives in Gaza City and from Israel's ambassador at the United Nations.

Also in the programme: The Sudanese army says it now controls all of Khartoum state - recaptured from the paramilitary Rapid Forces; and we talk to the winner of the International Booker prize, Indian writer Banu Mushtaq.
