UN chief calls northern Gaza situation untenable as Egypt offers two-day ceasefire proposal

abc.net.au — October 28, 2024, 02:01 AM UTC

Summary: The UN chief has called the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza "untenable" as residents face starvation due to blocked aid. Israel's military operations have reportedly killed around 800 people in the region since the offensive began.

Egypt has proposed a two-day ceasefire to facilitate the exchange of Israeli hostages held by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners. This comes amid ongoing negotiations involving the US, Qatar, and Egypt to end the conflict that escalated after Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7.

In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have killed at least 21 people, with significant damage reported in southern areas. Israel aims to weaken Hezbollah's capabilities following its attacks on Israel, which have resulted in over 1,620 deaths in Lebanon since late September.
