"Escalating Israel-Hamas Conflict Sparks Global Outrage: Live Updates"

The Israel-Hamas war continues to escalate, with foreign nationals being allowed to leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing, which has faced delays and frustrations. The Israeli military denies firing at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza and claims it is not under siege, while the Hamas-controlled health ministry says the hospital is surrounded and staff and patients are unable to evacuate. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations are taking place worldwide, including a massive rally in London with an estimated 300,000 attendees. Arab and Muslim leaders at a summit in Riyadh call for a ceasefire and condemn Israeli aggression, while Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vows to keep pressure on Israel. The head of the UN relief agency warns that the people of Gaza are being "choked" by the bombardment and siege, and the Iranian president attends the summit in Saudi Arabia to "save the Palestinians."
