Israeli forces battled Hamas militants and bombed more targets in the devastated Gaza Strip Tuesday with the UN General Assembly due to vote on a new demand for a ceasefire.
More than two months into the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack, the visiting chief of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, likened Gaza to “hell on earth”.
The Hamas-run health ministry updated its death toll in Gaza to 18,412, mostly women and children.
The militant Islamist group said Israeli forces raided a hospital in Gaza City, the biggest urban centre.
