The UN says the number of trucks crossing into Gaza must massively increase to deal with the humanitarian need. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu warns Hezbollah to stay out of the war or risk 'the mistake of its life'.
A second aid convoy has entered Gaza as the US said Israel's leader have now agreed to a 'continued flow' of supplies into the territory - where more than 4,600 are said to have died. Israel's airstrikes and blockade have led to dire conditions, with food and water running out and devastated hospitals swamped by the wounded and the dead. A first aid convoy of 20 trucks finally crossed from Egypt on Saturday and 14 more followed on Sunday.
The number killed in the enclave is now 4,651, according to the Gaza health ministry, while a further 14,245 people have been injured. Israeli strikes have been increasing to reduce the risk of troops in the next stage of the war, said IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. It's estimated 700,000 people have fled after Israel urged civilians to leave northern Gaza - but hundreds of thousands remain as Israel prepares for the expected ground attack.
