Palestinians face starvation as shelves empty, the UN warned today, while Hamas said another 231 people have been killed in the past day from continuing Israeli airstrikes The ministry's spokesman Ashraf al-Qidrahe said those killed included 3,900 children and 2,509 women, adding that more than 24,000 people were wounded since October 7.
A long line of Palestinians were pictured outside the bakery today after Israeli airstrikes continued Israel's military said it had identified and hit an ambulance 'being used by an Hamas terrorist cell' and that Hamas fighters were killed in the strike. The Hamas-controlled Palestinian health ministry challenged Israel over the bombing of the ambulance and demanded it provide proof that the ambulance was carrying terrorists.
The United Nations chief renewed his demand for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying civilians 'have been besieged, denied aid, killed and bombed out of their homes' for nearly one month in Israel's retaliation after Hamas' surprise attacks. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement late Friday that he is 'horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital,' calling the images of bodies strewn on the street 'harrowing.'
The UN humanitarian office OCHA estimated that nearly 1.5 million of Gaza's 2.3 million people are internally displaced. On a visit to the region, Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday and called for a humanitarian pause in fighting that he said would facilitate work to release hostages, allow aid into Gaza but not prevent Israel from defending itself.He said: 'I made clear that we are continuing full force and that Israel refuses a temporary ceasefire which does not include the release of our hostages.
The Arab leaders will stress the 'Arab stance calling for an immediate ceasefire, delivering humanitarian aid and ways of ending the dangerous deterioration that threatens the security of the region', the ministry said in a statement. A heavily armed ally of Hamas, Hezbollah has been engaging Israeli forces on the Lebanon-Israel border in the biggest flare-up since it fought a war with Israel in 2006.
Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes along the border with Lebanon on Saturday as the militant Hezbollah group attacked several Israeli army posts along the tense frontier. A British-based doctor who was working at al-Shifa hospital arrived back in the UK this week. Dr Abdelkader Hammad was trapped in Gaza after the Hamas terror attack in October
Palestinians in Gaza reported Israeli airstrikes overnight into Saturday across the besieged enclave, including the southern part where Israel had told civilians to seek refuge as its ground operation intensifies in northern Gaza. Strikes hit the western outskirts of the city and near Al-Quds Hospital. The Israeli military repeatedly hit close to the hospital in recent days, said Adly Abu Taha, a Gaza City resident who has sheltered in the hospital grounds for the past three weeks.It came as Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf confirmed his parents-in-law were among 92 Brits able to leave Gaza this morning, ending a weeks' long 'living nightmare' for the family.
Elizabeth El-Nakla and her husband Maged – the parents of Mr Yousaf's wife Nadia - were trapped when Israel laid siege to the territory following the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel, in which the group killed 1,400 people.
