| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the spectator's daily politics podcast. I'm |
| 0:15.0 | Isabel Hardman and this is the Sunday Roundup. |
| 0:18.6 | The Israeli grand evasion has reportedly begun as Israel repeated its order for civilians |
| 0:23.2 | to head to the south of Gaza. Colonel Ira Gorens said Israel are planning to increase |
| 0:28.7 | dramatically the amount of assistance coming in from Egypt. But many people in Gaza cannot |
| 0:33.7 | move from their locations further north. Liberal Democrat MP Leyla Moran spoke to Victoria |
| 0:39.8 | Darbyshire about the three generations of her family who have been sheltering in a |
| 0:43.8 | church since an IDF bomb hit their house. There are frail people who cannot travel down |

| 1:27.4 | people now in that church and we're deeply, deeply worried for their safety. |
| 1:34.2 | When I spoke to you yesterday on the phone you had not been able to contact them because |
| 1:37.8 | of the blackout. Have you now? |
| 1:40.0 | Yeah, so the 2440 hours were the internet and everything else was cut, was tortuous. I |
| 1:45.7 | mean, not knowing if they were dead or alive. We're worried for them anyway and I can't |
| 1:50.3 | tell you what that did to us as a family. And we have heard since because someone in the |
| 1:55.9 | church has a foreign sim which can connect to the Israeli networks has put out a message |
