UN Secretary-General urges support for Gaza Strip: “Now is the time for an immediate ceasefire”. “On this side of the checkpoint, there are long lines of trucks loaded with aid supplies, and on the other side, the dark shadow of famine is spreading,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military is continuing military operations across the Gaza Strip, and has announced that it has killed more than 170 militants and interrogated approximately 800 at Shifa Hospital. The operation will end only when the last terrorist is captured.
