Summary

  • The UN General Assembly votes in favour of a non-binding resolution demanding "an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza
  • US President Joe Biden says Israel is starting to lose global support over its "indiscriminate bombing" of Gaza
  • Israel has continued its bombardment of Gaza, with the main focus on Khan Younis in the south. There's also been fighting in Rafah near the Egyptian border
  • A WHO official says the health system in Gaza has gone from 36 hospitals to only 11 in just 66 days - and those are only partially functioning
  • In Jenin in the occupied West Bank, six people have been killed, including five in a drone strike, the Palestinian health ministry says
  • Hamas broke through Israel's heavily guarded perimeter on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages - some of whom were released during a brief truce
