The United Nations is calling for an immediate cessation of renewed hostilities in Gaza and the urgent entry of humanitarian aid and essential goods into the territory. On Tuesday, U.N. Under-Secretary-General Tom Fletcher delivered a stark warning during a U.N. Security Council briefing, following reports from Palestinian health authorities that Israeli airstrikes have claimed the lives of over 400 individuals. The resumption of violence threatens to undo a fragile two-month ceasefire, with Israel vowing intensified action to release hostages held by Hamas.
