The United Nations said more than 187,500 people have been displaced in Gaza since the escalation of the conflict.
The report from the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs comes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes and the military wing of the militant Hamas group saying it will kill one Israeli civilian captive any time civilians are targeted in their homes in Gaza “without prior warning”.
Catherine Russell, executive director of UN children’s agency Unicef, called for the “immediate and safe release of any children being held hostage in Gaza”. Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group said five of its members were killed by shelling into southern Lebanon and it retaliated with a volley of rockets and mortars at two Israeli army bases across the border.
Israel increased airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Monday as it sealed the territory off from food, fuel and other supplies.Hamas also escalated the conflict, pledging to kill captured Israelis if attacks targeted civilians without warnings.
