Israel's war on Gaza, now in its 214th day, has killed at least 34,789 Palestinians — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 78,204 while some 10,000-plus Palestinians are feared buried under debris of bombed homes.Meanwhile, the US says it is hopeful Israel and Hamas could "close the remaining gaps" in their ceasefire talks.
"Everybody's coming to the table," the spokesman said in a call with reporters."That's not insignificant."Israel told the United States its operation in Rafah was limited and designed to prevent weapons and funds from being smuggled into Gaza, White House national security advisor John Kirby said. "This may be the last chance to recover the Israeli captives alive," said the official, requesting anonymity to discuss the negotiations.
"An offensive on Rafah will affect not only the region but the whole world. Israel must immediately withdraw from the Gaza side of the Rafah border crossing," Keceli said.Germany warned against a"major offensive" in Rafah after Israel sent tanks into the city in southern Gaza, and called for crossings into the territory to be reopened.
It said some 140 patients scheduled to leave through the crossing into Egypt on Tuesday for medical attention were prevented from leaving the enclave after the terminal’s closure.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for crossings into Gaza to be reopened immediately to allow essential aid in, and urged Israel to"stop any escalation" after it sent tanks into Rafah.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide’s comments came after Tel Aviv claimed earlier that they have “operational control of the Gaza side of the Rafah crossings,” after advancing during the night as their warplanes pounded residential homes. "We know, for instance, that entering northern Gaza is almost impossible," Longa said, noting the importance of access for humanitarian aid delivery.A team of mid-ranking Israeli officials will go to Cairo in the next few hours to assess whether Hamas can be persuaded to shift on its latest ceasefire offer, a senior Israeli official has said, reiterating that the proposal as it currently stands was unacceptable to Israel.
He noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his partners who committed these crimes against humanity and those who remain silent will be held accountable eventually for their actions.UN agencies have said that the two main crossings into Gaza remain shut, virtually cutting off the enclave from outside aid with very few stores stationed inside the enclave.
"China... strongly calls on Israel to heed the overwhelming demands of the international community, stop attacking Rafah, and do everything it can to avoid a more serious humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.At least 34,789 people have been killed in Gaza as Israel's war on the besieged enclave enters its eighth month, the Health Ministry said.
"I am afraid that this is going to cause again a lot of casualties, civilian casualties. Whatever they say", he said, adding:"There are no safe zones in Gaza."The Israeli army has said it took"operational control" of the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt and that its troops were"scanning the area."
"An Israeli strike on an emergency and relief centre" in the southern village of Habariyeh on March 27"killed seven emergency and relief volunteers" and constituted an"unlawful attack on civilians that failed to take all necessary precautions", HRW said in a statement. "They discussed the strong partnership between the US and Jordan. They also spoke about the situation in Gaza, of course, including efforts to secure the hostage deal and to get more humanitarian assistance to the civilians of Gaza," Kirby told reporters.In a statement, the White House confirmed that Biden and King Abdullah discussed the latest developments in Gaza and affirmed their commitment to work together towards an enduring end to the crisis.
The city's Kuwaiti hospital said it had received"five martyrs and several injured" after Israeli strikes. Israel has ordered residents and displaced Palestinians in eastern Rafah to evacuate ahead of an imminent ground assault on Gaza's last sanctuary.
