Israeli demonstrators block aid trucks bound for Gaza at the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Israel. The protesters are calling for humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory to be halted until all the hostages -- held captive in Gaza since the October 7th attacks -- are released. IMAGES
Israeli protesters, including relatives of the hostages held in Gaza since the October 7 attacks by Hamas, take part in a demonstration aimed at blocking aid trucks from entering the Palestinian territory, on the Israeli side of the Kerem Shalom border crossing with the southern Gaza Strip, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

The United Nations Security Council votes to approve a resolution that "demands" all sides in the Israel-Hamas conflict allow the "safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale." Russia and the United States, which both could have vetoed the much-delayed measure as permanent members of the council, abstained, meaning it passed with 13 votes in favor. IMAGES
UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths says that he saw promising signs that the Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel into the Gaza Strip might be opened soon to allow aid in. "We're still negotiating, and with some promising signs at the moment, access through Kerem Shalom... that that may be able to open soon," Griffiths told a press conference in Geneva. IMAGES
