"Escalating Israel-Hamas Conflict Sparks Global Outrage: Live Updates"

The Israel-Hamas war continues to escalate, with the Palestinian death toll rising and calls for a ceasefire growing louder. The Palestine Red Crescent Society received 81 trucks of humanitarian aid from the Egyptian Red Crescent at the Rafah crossing, but fuel has not been allowed to enter yet. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that at least 39 journalists have been killed in the conflict, making it the "deadliest month for journalists" since 1992. The Palestine Red Crescent Society accused Israel of firing on an aid convoy operated by the International Committee of the Red Cross. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has escalated his opposition to a ceasefire, stating that those calling for one must address the "unacceptable result" it would bring. G7 foreign ministers expressed support for humanitarian pauses in Gaza but did not call for a ceasefire. All bakeries in northern Gaza have been forced to close due to shortages of vital supplies, leaving civilians struggling to access bread. Israeli troops are now operating inside Gaza City, and the Israeli army insists there will be no ceasefire. Some doctors in Gaza have been performing operations without anesthesia, and attacks on healthcare facilities are forbidden by international humanitarian law. Israel's post-war plan is not an "ongoing occupation" of Gaza, according to a senior adviser to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
