"UNRWA Faces Imminent Shutdown of Gaza Aid Operations Amid Fuel Shortage"

US President Joe Biden calls for the protection of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, as staff report being under siege and the facility being bombed. Relatives of hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attacks on Israel gather in Jerusalem to urge the UN to secure their release. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns that the situation in Gaza will be disastrous without a cease-fire, as fuel shortages force the suspension of aid operations. Germany bans almost 100 pro-Palestinian events due to fears of antisemitic offenses. Israel's military says it has conducted 4,300 strikes since the ground offensive in Gaza began. Over 290 German citizens have left Gaza, while the UN observes a minute's silence for the 101 employees killed in the conflict. Germany supports humanitarian pauses in Gaza rather than a cease-fire. Norwegian Refugee Council warns that many hospitals in Gaza have shut down services completely. The situation at Al-Shifa hospital becomes increasingly difficult, with reports of people being shot at when trying to leave. The IDF continues raids near the al-Shati refugee camp. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hints at a potential agreement for the release of hostages. US President Joe Biden and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani agree that all hostages should be released. The head of Al-Shifa Hospital denies claims that the hospital rejected fuel supply from the IDF.
