Humanitarian aid stuck at Egypt-Gaza border | DW News

The World Health Organisation says the Israeli order forcing people to evacuate hospitals in northern Gaza is a potential 'death sentence' for vulnerable people. Earlier, Israel told Gaza civilians to travel to the south of the territory, beyond the Wadi Gaza wetlands. Many displaced Gazans have taken refuge at United Nations schools there. Food, water and medical supplies are running low.

Israel's military has been attacking targets it believes are linked to the Islamist militant group Hamas. But Hamas says over 70 civilians were killed in an airstrike on one highway.

Pope Francis has called for humanitarian corridors to help those under siege in Gaza. The pope's appeal comes as Israel readies its troops for a ground assault in retaliation for unprecedented attacks it suffered a week ago.

Pope Francis also renewed his call for the release of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas militants.
