France's foreign minister has called for an "immediate and durable" truce, saying "too many civilians are being killed."

The UK and Germany have also jointly called for ceasefire, "but only if it is sustainable" in the long-term.

France also demands Israel explain an air strike that killed a French foreign ministry staff member along with numerous other civilians.

On Saturday, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said military pressure was necessary to underpin hostage negotiations.

Netanyahu indicated that talks are under way to recover Israelis held in Gaza, with reports suggesting that Qatar and Egypt are involved in negotiations.

In Gaza, the WHO says it's delivered medicines and supplies to Al-Shifa Hospital which it says is "minimally functional" and "in need of resuscitation."

Hamas broke through Israel's heavily guarded perimeter on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages - some of whom were released during a brief truce.

The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, says more than 18,700 people have been killed and 50,000 injured in the enclave since the start of the Gaza war.
