Nine’s A Current Affair (608,000) spoke to Save the Children humanitarian Jason Lee who said the situation in Israel was dire as food, water and medical supplies were dwindling. “Children pay the ultimate price for this ongoing cycle of violence,” Lee said. “It is imperative that all sides protect civilians, especially children.” Then, 574,000 tuned in to The Block. After Australia’s biggest gossip mags descended on Charming Street, the Blockheads turned on each other after seeing what they had all said about one another in the interviews. Meanwhile, Brett called a Body Corporate to see if he could switch his backyard and front yard in judging so that the pool — which is clearly a backyard feature in any home — would become part of front yard week. While he tried to convince the others there was nothing to it, all he really wanted was to win a Ford Mustang.
