Israel continues intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip, as health facilities and humanitarian aid efforts are crumbling due to intense fighting.

White House Aide says the US has not given a firm deadline to Israel to end military operations in the besieged enclave.

UN Security Council is expected to discuss the situation in Gaza as countries press for a ceasefire amid continued opposition from veto-holding the US.

At least 17,177 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7.

In Israel, the official death toll stands at about 1,150.
