UNRWA’s director of communications, Juliette Touma, earlier told, this is the worst we’ve ever seen. This is hitting rock bottom. This is Gaza being pushed into an abyss, there is tragedy unfolding as the world is watching.

An Israeli ground offensive into Gaza is expected. Benjamin Netanyahu tells frontline soldiers: “The next stage is coming.”

In Egypt, an aid convoy has been waiting for hours to enter Gaza through the Rafah crossing.

Pictures show a long queue of lorries carrying supplies from Egypt and Turkey waiting at the city of Arish, near the crossing.

Several countries including the UK and the US, have urged their citizens in Gaza to move closer to the Rafah crossing so they can leave when the crossing reopens for a limited time.

US officials said they had been working to get hundreds of Palestinian-Americans to leave via Rafah, though it remains unclear whether they succeeded.
