GAZA STRIP: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expected to visit Egypt's border with Gaza on Saturday , after Israel said it would send in troops to fight Hamas in the nearby city of Rafah, even without US support.
International efforts to pause the almost six months of fighting have grown increasingly desperate, with the Hamas-run health ministry reporting 32,070 people killed in Gaza as of Friday and experts warning the entire population is teetering on the brink of famine. The Gaza health ministry reported, in a preliminary tally early Saturday morning, another 67 people killed overnight, including 10 in a strike on a home north of Gaza City.
On his latest wartime tour of the region, to support truce talks in Qatar, Blinken also expressed disappointment over the failed UN resolution. Hamas's Oct 7 attack resulted in about 1,160 deaths in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
