Israel Escalates Gaza Strikes as UN Agencies Urge Ceasefire

Israel's military spokesman announced plans to increase attacks on Gaza as part of its war on Hamas, while several UN agencies called for a ceasefire and humanitarian access in the besieged Palestinian territory. A 20-truck humanitarian aid convoy entered Gaza from Egypt, Arab leaders at a Cairo peace summit condemned Israeli bombardment, and around 100,000 people joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in London demanding an immediate ceasefire.
