LIVE UPDATES: Netanyahu’s Office Calls Hamas Video With Hostages ‘Psychological Propaganda’

"And more than one entry point into Gaza is indispensable, if we are to make a difference. Kerem Shalom between Israel and Gaza is the only crossing equipped to rapidly process a sufficiently large number of trucks," Doughten said at the UN Security Council meeting on behalf of Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths.

"A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in Lebanon, including weapons, posts and sites used by Hezbollah," the IDF said on Telegram.

"The humanitarian assistance provides Israel with important leeway in which to act to realize the goals of the war. The humanitarian assistance is not from Israel but from international sources. These are food and medicines that have been physically checked and inspected by Israeli security personnel and are delivered via Egypt. The shipments are designed for the civilian population; should it become clear that they have been taken by Hamas, they will be halted," the office said on X.

"The Israel-Hamas war has become the deadliest period for journalists covering conflict since CPJ began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992. From October 7 to 30, at least 31 journalists were among more than 9,000 killed on both sides since the war began," the CPJ said in a statement.

“IDF forces continue to expand the ground operation in the Gaza Strip. Additional infantry, armor and combat engineering forces are entering Gaza for the continued coordinated operations by land, air and sea at full force. Our forces eliminated dozens of terrorists in the past day. The war plan is proceeding as intended and will continue to proceed in accordance with our missions,” Hagari said in a statement.

"UNICEF and our partners are committed to staying on the ground to deliver for children. But make no mistake, the situation grows worse by the hour … and without an urgent end to the hostilities, I am deeply afraid for the fate of the region’s children," Russell added.

"And more than one entry point into Gaza is indispensable if we are to make a difference – Kerem Shalom, between Israel and Gaza, is the only crossing equipped to rapidly process a sufficiently large number of trucks," the statement said.

"We are deeply concerned by allegations of military installations in the close vicinity of hospitals and the request by Israeli authorities for hospitals, including Al Quds and Shifa, to be evacuated – there is nowhere safe for patients to go, and for those on life support and babies in incubators, moving would almost certainly be a death sentence," the statement said.

"We have very real fears about what lies ahead. The current situation may pale in comparison with what is to come. There is a genuine risk that this war could escalate further and spillover into the wider region. We must take urgent collective action to prevent this," the statement said. "In light of all that has been described today, what we are calling for is for the parties to agree to pause the fighting on humanitarian grounds."

"More than 1.4 million people are internally displaced in Gaza, and hundreds and thousands of children, women and men are crammed into overcrowded shelters and hospitals," the statement said. "Many of these people have moved south in search of safety. But the reality is that nowhere is safe and we simply do not have enough essential supplies to provide for the survival of internally displaced people at this scale."
