The UN says almost half of Gaza’s population has now moved to the city of Rafah in the south. It warns that people there are facing bombardment, deprivation and disease in space that’s growing more confined.

Israel is coming under increasing pressure from key allies over its war in Gaza. After months of staunch support, US President Joe Biden criticized Israel on Tuesday for what he called “indiscriminate bombing” in Gaza. A vote in the UN General Assembly also indicates Israel’s growing isolation, as countries overwhelmingly backed a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza.

But Israel says it will persist with its air and ground offensive against Hamas, which numerous countries and organizations, including the US and the European Union have classified as a terror group.

For more on this, we talk to Stephen Ryan. He is the Rapid Deployment Coordinator with the International Red Cross Committee and joins us from Gaza.
