The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is intensifying, with the Palestinian death toll from Israel's military campaign surpassing 11,000, a large proportion of whom are women and children.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating that a ceasefire would only be possible if all 239 hostages held by militants in Gaza are released. This stance has been met with international concern, particularly from the Biden administration in the U.S., which has emphasized that Israel must not 'reoccupy' Gaza. Despite this, Netanyahu insists that Israel will retain 'overall security control' in Gaza, a position that has raised concerns in Washington.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is intensifying, with the Palestinian death toll from Israel's military campaign surpassing 11,000, a large proportion of whom are women and children. The situation is particularly dire in Gaza's hospitals, with five patients dying after the last generator ran out of fuel at Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest medical facility. The World Health Organization has lost communication with its contacts at the hospital, further exacerbating the crisis.

In response to the deteriorating situation, the Israeli military has offered to evacuate babies from the hospital. However, the war, now in its sixth week, continues unabated. A 57-nation gathering of Muslim and Arab leaders has called for an end to the war and the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid. Despite these calls, Netanyahu has rejected international pleas for a ceasefire, stating that the battle will continue with 'full force'.
