As calls grow for a 'humanitarian pause' in the Hamas-Israel war, the Australian Defence Force is deploying two additional aircraft and personnel to the Middle East in case the security situation there worsens.
Australia and New Zealand have joined the United Nations, the United States and Canada in an appeal for a humanitarian pause in the Hamas-Israel war to allow safe deliveries of aid to civilians stricken by shortages of food, water, medicine and electricity in the Israeli-besieged enclave.
The Israeli military said that it killed dozens of Hamas fighters overnight while hitting over 400 Hamas targets, but that it would take time to destroy the Islamist militant group whose deadly cross-border attack on 7 October stunned Israel . UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pleaded on Tuesday for civilians to be protected, voicing concern about "clear violations of international humanitarian law" in Gaza.
