Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
Meanwhile, the Israeli army continues its ground offensive in Gaza, advancing into the most populated areas of the city, with reports of tanks moving in from the north and south, and explosions destroying homes and roads.
Local authorities report that three hospitals have stopped functioning, and additional civilians have been killed in the airstrikes.
International Response
Over the past week, several countries, including France, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Portugal, have recognized Palestine as a sovereign state.
US former President Donald Trump is set to address the UN General Assembly, where he is expected to discuss the situation in Gaza and propose a peace plan.
