The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has complained that two hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip are under siege by Israeli forces and are in danger. Meanwhile, leaders of the Islamic organization Hamas have indicated that there is still a gap between the positions of both sides regarding negotiations for a cessation of fighting and the release of hostages.

The focus is on whether the negotiations will make any progress, they say. On the 24th, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres met with President Sisi and others during his visit to Egypt.
