"Escalating Israel-Hamas conflict deepens humanitarian crisis: Live updates"

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens as the Israel-Hamas conflict resumes, with the UN Secretary-General stating that there is nowhere safe for people ordered to evacuate. The Israeli military intensifies its airstrikes in southern Gaza, leading to an influx of injured people flooding hospitals. The Israeli military's decision to transfer soldiers away from the Gaza border prior to the October 7 attack will be investigated. The situation in Gaza is described as "more apocalyptic" by the top UN relief official, with a near-total communications blackout hindering the work of the Palestine Red Crescent Society. The World Health Organization reports that the Israeli military has ordered the withdrawal of medical supplies from two southern Gaza warehouses, and warns of major disease outbreaks due to poor living conditions. The number of civilians killed in Gaza is rapidly increasing, according to the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
