While Israel considers its response to Iran's attack over the weekend, Israeli military say its troops continue to operate in central Gaza. Here's a reminder of the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave:
- Almost all of Gaza's population - more than 2.3 million people - have been displaced and lack access to sufficient shelter, food, medical services, clean water, and education since Israel's military offensive against Hamas began
- At least 33,797 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, which began after Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October
- White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Monday that aid getting into the Gaza Strip has increased by a large amount in the last few days
- The World Food Programme said it has been using a new route to get aid to north Gaza, where it delivered food parcels and wheat flour through nine convoys
- US House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that a vote on a fresh package of military aid for Israel could come as early as Friday
- Following warnings that famine is imminent in northern Gaza, the UN said it delivered a four-day fuel supply a bakery in northern Gaza on Sunday to enable it to resume operations in an area, which "has recorded the highest levels of catastrophic hunger in the world"
