Our colleagues in the region and those they support cling to hope as their last lifeline. We must ensure that hope does not slip away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pleas for peace came as the United Nations urged both sides to allow the creation of aid \u201ccorridors\u201d into the shattered territory. UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres called for \u201crapid, unimpeded humanitarian access\u201d to the Gaza Strip\u2019s 2.4 million residents, as Israel kept up its retaliation for Hamas\u2019s rampage through several of its southern towns on October 7.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Hamas commander and family killed by devastating Israeli airstrike on his house<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe need food, water, medicine and fuel now. We need it at scale and we need it to be sustained, it is not one small operation that is required. In plain terms, that means humanitarians need to be able to get aid in and they need to be able to distribute it safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A first consignment of 20 trucks loaded with emergency supplies was expected to pass through Egypt\u2019s Rafah crossing into Gaza today, under UN supervision.<\/p>\n<p>But agencies said that only a full stop to the conflict would let them establish safe routes to deliver enough food, water and medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The US used its veto at the UN security council on Wednesday to block a resolution calling on Israel to allow a \u201chumanitarian pause\u201d in the fighting to open such corridors.<\/p>\n<p>Its ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield called the resolution unacceptable as it did not mention Israel\u2019s right to self-defence. The UK abstained, saying the wording did not cover Hamas using Palestinians as human shields.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/78\/590x\/secondary\/5022719.jpg?r=1697754195432\"><\/p>\n<p>The US State Department last night told all Americans \u201cto exercise increased caution\u201d, due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, and warned of \u201cthe potential for terrorist attacks, [and] demonstrations or violent actions against US citizens and interests\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s counteroffensive has ignited protests across the region and beyond. The US embassy in Beirut was evacuated as protestors stormed barricades and set fires around the compound.<\/p>\n<p>Some 5,000 people have been killed and thousands more injured since Hamas invaded Israel. UN children\u2019s aid agency Unicef said Gazan families were drinking from the sea and dirty wells.<\/p>\n<p>Saleem Oweis, its Middle East and Africa chief, warned of the risk of \u201cdiseases, dehydration and eventually death for children\u201d.
