United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken says every person in Gaza is experiencing acute hunger and needs humanitarian aid.
Its director, Oscar Camps, is determined to keep the deliveries coming despite the significant danger to his team. Hundreds of people have been killed in recent weeks by Israeli defence forces while trying to access flour and other food staples from humanitarian convoys. During a phone call with Mr Biden ] - the first in a month ] - the Israeli leader agreed to send a delegation to Washington to discuss US concerns about the planned ground invasion of Rafah, where around 1.5 million Palestinians are currently sheltering.
Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of operating inside hospitals, a charge which the Palestinian group has consistently denied. Gaza authorities say the raid caused multiple casualties, although exact numbers have not been reported."We looked from the balcony window and we saw tanks and bulldozers. They were bulldozing the street. In the morning - they threw a bomb at the door. They broke the door. They came to us and took my uncles.
