United Nations warned Friday that «many more will die» as a result of Israel's ongoing siege of Gaza, which has also caused sewage to flow into the Palestinian territory's streets. Israel laid a total siege on Gaza following the October 7 attacks by Hamas, cutting off food, fuel, water and power supplies to the enclave. "People in Gaza are dying; they are not only dying from bombs and strikes: soon many more will die from the consequences of (the) siege imposed on the Gaza Strip," said Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). «Basic services are crumbling, medicine is running out, food and water are running out, the streets of Gaza have started overflowing with sewage.» Alongside the siege, Israel has bombarded Gaza with air and artillery strikes since October 7. The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip says the strikes have killed more than 7,300 people, mainly civilians and many of them children. The strikes are in response to attacks by Hamas gunmen, who poured into Israel and killed around 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 229 more, according to Israeli officials. During a press conference in Jerusalem, Lazzarini — who said 57 UNRWA staff had been killed in Gaza during the war — called for more aid to be allowed into the territory immediately. «The current system in place is geared to fail. What is needed is meaningful and uninterrupted aid flow.

Concern is growing about regional fallout from the conflict, with the United States warning Iran against escalation while striking facilities in Syria it says were used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and others.

Emmanuel Macron proposed on Tuesday that an international coalition fighting against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria be widened to include the fight against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. Macron gave no detail on how the U.S.-led coalition of dozens of countries, of which Israel is not a member, could be involved. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Macron stressed that France and Israel shared terrorism as their «common enemy». «France is ready for the international coalition against Daesh in which we are taking part for operations in Iraq and Syria to also fight against Hamas,» he told reporters, referring to Islamic State. Macron, who warned against the risks of a regional conflict, also said the fight against Hamas «must be without mercy but not without rules». Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not directly comment on Macron's proposal but said the fight was a battle between the «axis of evil» and «the free world». «This battle is not merely our own… it's everybody's battle,» he said. The U.S-led coalition fighting Islamic State was formed in September 2014. What began as a major military operation that helped «deliver the military defeat of Daesh in Iraq and Syria», is now focusing on advising and assisting local partners, including with reconnaissance and intelligence, to ensure the group cannot reclaim lost ground, the coalition says on its website. It operates primarily in Iraq. Thirty French citizens were killed by Hamas militants in their attack on southern Israel on Oct.
