The humanitarian crisis is deepening for the 2.2 million people trapped inside Gaza, with hospitals concerned about running out of fuel. The IDF chief of staff says efforts will be made to provide access to fuel but it will 'not allow' it to reach Hamas. Follow here for live updates.
As the humanitarian crisis deepens for millions in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said the military will not allow fuel to enter the enclave because it alleges Hamas needs it for its operational infrastructure. This contradicts earlier comments from the IDF chief of staff, who said efforts would be made to provide access to fuel in Gaza, but that the IDF would 'not allow' the fuel to reach Hamas. US military advisers are urging Israel to avoid an all-out ground assault in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to tell soldiers on Tuesday a ground offensive was still on track, saying, 'we stand before the next stage, it is coming.' Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza, in response to its deadly October 7 attacks. One of the two Israeli hostages released from Hamas custody described being kidnapped from her kibbutz and taken to a tunnel in Gaza.
