Palestinian death toll mounts in continued Israeli bombardment of besieged Gaza as Israel's war on the enclave continues for the 13th consecutive day.
Potentially life-saving humanitarian aid is expected to arrive in Palestine's Israel-besieged Gaza under an agreement reached by the US, Egypt and Israel.
Israel, which holds the Rafah gate from Palestine's side, separately said on Wednesday that it gave the green light for a limited flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.Lebanese group Hezbollah has said that two of its members had been killed in clashes with the Israeli army in southern Lebanon. The news spread quickly on social media, as grisly images of dead and bloodied toddlers lined up side by side on a hospital stretcher stirred outrage in besieged Gaza and occupied West Bank.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu news agency that Israeli raids on residential buildings in Rafah city south of Gaza left at least 20 Palestinians dead. Both leaders agreed to work closely on encouraging an"urgent and robust" response to a humanitarian appeal by the United Nations, the White House said. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will arrive in Israel and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, before travelling on to other regional capitals, his office said, as Israel continued to bomb Gaza's neighbourhoods.
Alongside Sunak's visit, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, who visited Israel last week, will travel to Egypt, Türkiye and Qatar over the next three days to discuss the conflict and seek a peaceful resolution, his office said.
