Israel-Gaza live updates: France, UK, Canada recognize Palestinian statehood

At least 33 people died and 146 others were injured over the past 24 hours due to Israeli forces, Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health said on Friday afternoon.

That brings the death toll in Gaza since the war began to 65,174, according to the health ministry.

Among those killed over the past day was one person trying to collect humanitarian aid, while another 17 were injured, the health ministry said.

Four people, including a child, starved to death in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to the health ministry.

At least 440 people, including 147 children, have died of starvation in Gaza since the conflict began on Oct. 7, 2023, the health ministry noted.

The U.S. vetoed another Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages held by Hamas.

"Council Members ignored when the United States made clear that this resolution was unacceptable. The Council instead opted for a performative action -- designed to draw a veto -- that extends Hamas terrorists and those who fund them and support them, and gives them a lifeline," U.S. United Nations Counselor Morgan Ortagus said in a statement delivered to the USSC before the vote.

"It is beyond time that Hamas release every single hostage now and surrender immediately. The United States will continue to work with its partners to bring an end to this horrific conflict for the sake of the people of Gaza, who deserve a future free from Hamas, and of the whole Middle East, which is ready to move to a new chapter of peace and prosperity," Ortagus added.

More than 450,000 people have been evacuated from Gaza City to southern Gaza as Israeli forces "expanded combat in Gaza City," over the past 24 hours, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Effie Defrin said during a briefing on Thursday.

Two divisions are already operating in Gaza City, the IDF said, and a third division will "join the ground operations in the coming days," Defrin said.

Since the beginning of the second phase of the ongoing operation in Gaza City, Israeli forces have hit more than 1,200 targets it claims belong to terrorists.

The International Rescue Commission said it has been forced to suspend its work in Gaza City due to the Israeli ground incursion on the city.

"Despite numerous warnings on the humanitarian impact of a Gaza City takeover, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and our partners have been forced to close all of our programming. The solution is tragically simple," Bob Kitchen, vice president of emergencies at the humanitarian aid organization, said in a statement.

"Nutrition treatment for malnourished children and pregnant women has stopped, and our protection services for women and children who have experienced violence have been interrupted -- though we continue to monitor cases as families relocate," he wrote.

"With Gaza's water supply destroyed, we are still delivering emergency water trucking in Gaza city which is a lifeline for those we serve, whilst also closely monitoring the risks faced by our staff," Kitchen said.
