Human Rights Watch (HRW) told Al Jazeera that Israel's refusal to allow aid into the besieged Gaza Strip is a "war crime". "What's so tragic about the last two weeks is the way in which civilians have been targeted and basic rules about protecting civilians… have been flouted," Sari Bashi, HRW programme director, said.

"By refusing to condemn clear breaches of international law, by not saying clearly that Israel's restriction of water and food is collective punishment and a war crime, and that Israel's evacuation order amounts to forcible displacement, UK politicians are diminishing the gravity of Israel's actions," Deshmukh said.

Patients receiving only 1 litre of water per day!
"About 14 trucks have entered with essential medicine, some food - but more importantly four trucks of drinking water. Water is a real problem here. People in the hospital are giving every patient just one litre of water every day.
About 35 trucks have entered Gaza in the last two days - this is considered less than 8% of the daily needs of the Palestinians. We used to receive 400 to 500 trucks every day. But there is also hope for people that after 16, 17 days of being shut off by
Israel and Egypt, now we have a little pipeline of life to those in need of it."

Hamas fighter was carrying chemical weapons manual - Israel president
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has claimed in a Sky News interview that a guide to making chemical weapons was found on the body of a dead Hamas soldier, reports BBC. The guide, discovered on a USB storage device that the Hamas militant had been carrying, was "al-Qaeda material" on how to weaponise cyanide, a highly toxic chemical, said Herzog.
It was found in Kibbutz Be'eri, where Hamas rampaged through on 7 October, killing dozens of people and taking hostages.
"In this material, there are instructions how to produce chemical weapons, this speaks about arson, speaks about various chemicals that come out and produce chemical weapons, simple as that," Herzog said.

Is Turkey uniquely positioned to mediate?
Turkey is uniquely positioned to mediate between Palestinians and Israel due to its relationships with both Hamas and Israel.
The war on Gaza has seen Turkey step forward as a potential mediator to not only end Israel's bombardment of the Palestinian enclave, but also bring lasting peace to one of the world's most intractable conflicts.
Turkey's unique position, historical ties, and diplomatic efforts make it a potential mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Whether Turkey can succeed in facilitating a lasting peace will depend on the willingness of all parties involved to engage in meaningful dialogue and compromise.

When will Israel launch its ground offensive?
Since the Hamas attacks of 7 October, Israel has bombarded Gaza and amassed troops by the border, in apparent preparation for a ground offensive.
In separate interviews, two spokespersons for the Israel Defence Forces addressed the question of when such an offensive would take place.
Lt Col Peter Lenner told the BBC's Newshour that the timing would take into account efforts to release the dozens of hostages held by Hamas.
"The ground offensive, if it happens, will be at the best operational time," he says.
Meanwhile Lt Col Jonathan Conricus told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that "the war will end" if Hamas surrenders and releases their hostages.
If Hamas refuses, Conricus said, "we will probably have to go in and get it done".
"The end state of this war is a dismantled Hamas that never ever will have the ability to threaten any Israeli civilian," he said.

WHO calls on Israel to reconsider evacuation order
Israel has ordered everyone in Gaza's north to evacuate the region, including those in hospitals, but that task is "almost impossible", says spokesperson for the World Health Organisation, Tarik Jašarević and the organisation is calling on Israel to reconsider that order.

"We are calling on Israel to reconsider this order," he said.
