October 12, 2023 - 11:19 AM
UN Secretary-General says Gaza must be allowed to reach civilians amid Israeli bombardment and blockade.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says we need swift and unhindered humanitarian access now.

Meanwhile, the White House announced that the United States is in talks with Israel, the United Nations and Egypt about providing some aid and allowing residents to leave.

After Israel stopped the supply of electricity as well as the supply of medicines, food, fuel and water, the only power plant in the Gaza Strip has now been closed due to lack of fuel.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military says hundreds of thousands of troops are ready to launch operations from near the Gaza Strip.

The death toll from Hamas attacks in Israel has risen to 1,200, while Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed more than 1,100.

17 UK residents are dead or missing after Hamas launched attacks on Saturday.
