What's been happening?

As Israel and Hamas continue to battle in the Gaza Strip, more than two months after the 7 October attacks. Here are some of the main developments from today:

Israel is continuing its bombardment of the Gaza Strip, with much of the focus on the southern city of Khan Younis. Air strikes are also being conducted further south, in Rafah near the Egyptian border. Hamas officials say 22 people were killed there

The World Health Organization says less than a third of Gaza's hospitals remain functional, and those only partially so. The WHO's Richard Peeperkorn said "we cannot afford to lose any [more] health care facilities or hospitals"

People in Gaza are enduring "hell on earth", the head of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees has said after visiting the enclave. The UN says aid distribution in much of the territory has stopped

Meanwhile, at least four people have been killed in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, with witnesses saying they were hit in a drone strike. Israel’s army is also operating inside Jenin Camp, with residents sharing videos of heavily-armed soldiers walking through the streets

The US has said it is pressing Israel to put "a premium on civilian life". A State Department official said more can be done to ensure civilians reach safety, and that Israel can achieve a “strategic victory” if it protects civilians and works towards long-term peace
