Humanitarian conditions in Gaza worsen as Israel widens its offensive
Here's what's happening in the war:
Arab nations fine-tuning proposed UNSC resolution
The Palestinian UN envoy, Riyad Mansour, said wednesday that the UN's most powerful council must demand an end to the conflict following the resumption of violence in Gaza following the conclusion of a weeklong humanitarian truce on december 1.
Surrounded by members of the 22-nation Arab Group, Mansour also informed reporters that a ministerial team from Arab nations and the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation will visit Washington on thursday to meet with US officials.
"On top of the agenda is this war has to stop," he went on to say. "A cease-fire has to take place and it has to take place immediately."
According to Mansour, US Vice President Kamala Harris' national security advisor phoned Palestinian President Mahmoud abbas on wednesday morning, and abbas urged for a swift cease-fire and greater humanitarian supplies.
