The UN has warned of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, as Israeli bombardments and a full aid blockade enter their second month.

Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), UN spokesperson Farhan Haq said at a news conference that Israeli forces "continue to bombard areas across Gaza, with attacks hitting tents and residential buildings."

"Scores of Palestinians have reportedly been killed or injured in recent days, and civilian infrastructure has been damaged," he said.

He stressed that Israel's continued blockade "leaves more than 2 million people with severe shortages of food, water, shelter, medicine and other essential supplies."

"People in Gaza have told our partners that they are having to live near raw sewage, as close as 10 meters away," he said, citing the destruction of more than a dozen sewage trucks during recent hostilities.

Haq also reported that all UN Population Fund's (UNFPA) "supplies, which include shelter materials, hygiene items, and menstrual hygiene management kits, have been completely depleted."

Israel must end its air strikes, which are undermining efforts for Syrian unity and territorial integrity, Türkiye's Foreign Ministry spokesperson has said.

In a statement, Oncu Keceli noted that the global community, particularly regional countries, has a responsibility to contribute to the establishment of security and stability in Syria.

“We are fully confident that the acts of violence in southern Syria will be brought to an end through dialogue and common sense between the Syrian government and local elements in the region, and those responsible for these events will be brought to justice,” Keceli added.

He also highlighted that Türkiye will continue to support efforts for peace among all components of Syrian society.

Israeli warplanes have launched a fresh wave of air strikes in Gaza, killing at least 22 Palestinians and wounding others, medics have said, as Israel continues its relentless onslaught on the Palestinian enclave.

Three people were killed and several others wounded in an air strike in Jabalia Nazla in northern Gaza, a medical source said.

Twelve more people, including children, were killed in three separate strikes targeting homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the source added.

One more Palestinian was killed and several people were injured in another strike on a home in Bani Suhaila town, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Another Palestinian was killed and two others were injured in an Israeli strike on a group of civilians in Khan Younis' southern neighbourhood of Qizan Abu Rashwan.

Artillery shelling was also reported in the eastern parts of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, but no information was yet available about injuries.

Medics retrieved from the rubble the body of a Palestinian killed in an earlier Israeli air strike in the Zeitoun neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City.

A Palestinian man was also killed in the Shejaiya neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City by Israeli quadcopter drone fire, the medics added.

Three more Palestinians died of injuries sustained during earlier Israeli attacks in central Gaza, a medical source said.

The Lebanese army has dismantled the vast majority of Hezbollah's infrastructure near the border with Israel since a November ceasefire, a security official has said.

The army has dismantled "over 90 percent" of Hezbollah's military infrastructure in the area south of the Litani River and will carry out "the necessary measures" should any further sites be found, the official told AFP, requesting anonymity as the matter is sensitive.

Syria rejects all forms of "foreign intervention" in its affairs, the Foreign Ministry has said, after an Israeli strike that Israel described as targeting "extremists" who attacked members of Syria's Druze community.

The Syrian ministry's statement did not explicitly mention Israel but referred to what it said were calls by outlawed groups that engaged in violence in the country.

Spain has said the ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza worsen an already “unsustainable” humanitarian situation.

“The resumption of attacks in Gaza and the ramped up military operations in the occupied West Bank worsens an unsustainable humanitarian situation in which humanitarian workers and facilities have also become military targets,” Spain's permanent representative to the UN said at the open debate on The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question at the Security Council.

Hector Gomez Hernandez described these attacks as a "flagrant violation" of International Humanitarian Law and "condemned" the break in the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Israeli warplanes have carried out a number of air strikes on the outskirts of the town of Ashrafieh Sahnaya in the Damascus countryside, southwestern Syria.

Syrian state news agency SANA said the air strikes hit several areas around Ashrafieh Sahnaya, but there was no casualties reported.

According to experts, the Israeli offensive has fundamentally altered the geography of the Palestinian refugee camps through systematic home demolitions.

Veteran Malaysian statesman and former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has urged the world to "rise” above the “fear” of the US to stop the genocide in Gaza.

“We fear America. But we must rise above our fears. There are ways to stop the killing,” Mahathir wrote on X, adding US support for Israel prevents nations from extending help to Gaza.

"And the world can do nothing. Why? It is because backing fully Israelis genocide is the great American people. These are the people who talk so much about human rights, the sanctity of life etc. etc.," said Mahathir.
