UN calls for truce in northern Gaza as humanitarian crisis deepens amid Israeli strikes
Summary: The UN Palestinian refugee agency has called for a temporary truce in northern Gaza as the humanitarian crisis worsens amid ongoing Israeli strikes. Health officials report severe shortages of medical supplies and many civilians feel abandoned.
Israeli military operations have resulted in over 70 deaths, with many bodies left inaccessible due to ongoing attacks. The Israeli military claims to be evacuating civilians while targeting Hamas militants, but concerns persist about the true intentions behind these evacuations.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza and suggested that recent military developments could create an opportunity for a ceasefire. Washington has warned of potential consequences if aid access does not improve.
