Palestinians inspect the damage after an overnight Israeli airstrike in Beit Lahia the northern Gaza Strip on October 27, 2024 amid the ongoing war in the Palestinian territory between Israel and Hamas. - AFPPIX: Israel's parliament passed a law on Monday to ban the UN relief agency UNRWA from operating inside the country, alarming some of Israel's Western allies who fear it will worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The head of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, said the vote opposes the U.N. charter and violates international law. “This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees,“ he wrote on social media platform X.

The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said around 100,000 people were marooned in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun without medical or food supplies. Reuters could not verify the number independently. The emergency service said its operations had come to a halt because of the three-week Israeli assault into northern Gaza, where Israel had said it wiped out Hamas combat forces earlier in the year-long war.Talks led by the U.S.

At least 16 people were killed in Israeli strikes on three villages in eastern Lebanon’s city of Baalbek, the Lebanese health ministry said on Monday. The conflict also triggered rare direct clashes between regional arch-foes Israel and Iran. Israeli warplanes pounded Iranian missile production sites during the weekend in retaliation for an Oct. 1 Iranian missile volley at Israel. Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Tehran would “use all available tools” to respond.

Hezbollah carried out attacks on Israeli troops within Lebanese territory and on military targets within Israel.North Gaza's three major hospitals, whose officials refused Israel's orders to evacuate, were hardly operating. At least two were damaged and had run out of medical, food and fuel stocks. At least one doctor, a nurse and two child patients had died.

“While the world is busy with Lebanon and new nonsense talk about a few days of ceasefire , the Israeli occupation is wiping out north Gaza and displacing its people,“ a resident of Jabalia told Reuters via a chat app.
