Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and instead declared 'a time for war'.
Similar appeals have been made by the US and other countries, but Mr Netanyahu told Israel's allies it would not heed calls for ceasefire. Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza are believed to have taken some 240 hostages, following the October 7 attacks in southern Israel. But staff have refused to accept the order, saying it would be impossible to complete without endangering patient lives.
UNICEF, meanwhile, which oversees water and sanitation issues for the UN, has warned that "the lack of clean water and safe sanitation is on the verge of becoming a catastrophe".Both the government and the opposition have instead voiced support for a humanitarian pause in the conflict.
