UN aid has entered Gaza directly from Israel for the first time since fighting broke out

UN aid has entered Gaza directly from Israel for the first time since fighting broke out, but humanitarian workers say it’s getting increasingly difficult to distribute supplies in the territory, writes BBC.

Over the weekend desperate crowds were filmed chasing aid trucks near Rafah, and stripping them of food and water.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says Israeli air strikes have killed at least 90 people in the Jabalia refugee camp. The BBC has been unable to confirm the toll.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has again rejected calls for a ceasefire as pressure on his government mounts both at home and abroad. Over the weekend large crowds rallied in Tel Aviv calling for a new hostage deal, and the UK, Germany and France all called for the fighting in Gaza to stop.
