Northern Gaza no longer has a functional hospital, WHO says
More than 8,000 Palestinians are being held in Israeli jails, amid an intensified wave of arrests and detentions in Gaza and the West Bank since the 7 October attacks by Hamas, according to human rights groups.

Hamas says one of its senior leaders, Ismail Haniyeh, was in Egypt, which is also trying to broker a ceasefire. Meanwhile, the U.N. is trying to pass a resolution for a humanitarian cease-fire. A vote continues to be delayed as the leaders discuss language that would be acceptable to the U.S. in order to avoid a veto.
President Joe Biden said the US is still working through whether to support a UN Security Council resolution that calls for a suspension of hostilities in Gaza to allow more aid into the enclave after a much-delayed vote on the matter was pushed to today. Multiple UN agencies are backing calls for a halt in fighting as they warn of the dire humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. The wider UN General Assembly voted last week to demand an immediate ceasefire but the US has repeatedly blocked ceasefire calls in the Security Council.
