Biden urges Israel not to use humanitarian aid as a “bargaining chip” in the Gaza Strip, starving after five months of fighting. Talks for a ceasefire in Gaza are at an impasse, according to Egyptian officials.

Fighting continued in the north of Gaza, in Zeitoun, a district of Gaza City, and in the south in Al-Shouka, a village near Rafah. The latest report communicated by the Hamas Ministry of Health shows 30,800 people killed in Israeli military operations.
