Israel-Hamas War Live: Over 8,000 people have been killed in Gaza so far.

Israel-Hamas War Live:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel would not agree to a ceasefire with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At a media briefing on Monday, Mr Netanyahu said a ceasefire would amount to surrendering to Hamas.

"Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th," he said.

"Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen," he added.

The UN Humanitarian Office (OCHA) today said that 8,309 Palestinians, of whom 70 per cent are said to be children and women, have so far been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

"Since 7 October, 8,309 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 3,747 children and at least 2,062 women," the OCHA wrote on its website.

Israeli ground forces have been fighting inside the Gaza Strip and air strikes pounded the Palestinian territory in response to the October 7 attacks, when Hamas operatives killed 1,400 people and took more than 230 hostages.

Here are the Highlights on the Israel-Hamas war:

US Senate Approves Biden Pick For Israel Ambassador

Senators voted Tuesday to confirm President Joe Biden's nominee for US ambassador to Israel, filling a crucial posting that had been vacant for months as America's closest ally in the Middle East battles Hamas militants.

Israel launched its most intense military campaign ever on Gaza after suffering the bloodiest attack in its history when Hamas gunmen killed some 1,400 people in a brutal cross-border raid, according to Israeli officials.

Palestinian Americans Fundraise For Gaza, As Aid Groups Receive Record Donations

Palestinian Americans and aid groups in the United States are raising funds for Gaza, which faces a deepening humanitarian crisis as the Israel-Hamas war enters its fourth week - but they have as yet limited ability to get supplies into the besieged enclave.

Aid organizations that serve civilians in Gaza say they are receiving record amounts of donations in a sign of public support for relief efforts even as a growing stock of supplies remain stalled at Egypt's Rafah border crossing.

In the Gaza Strip, where 2.3 million people live, civilians are in dire need of clean water, food and medicine, emergency medics say. Half of Gaza's population was already living in poverty before the crisis.
