UN chief saddened by death of staff member in Israeli attacks on Gaza

Don't let the prime minister and the members of his government sacrifice the lives of my son Matan and of all the other living hostages just to remain in power,

shouted Zangauker, a prominent leader of the protests that happen every week

I don't think they're listening. I don't think that they're listening to the people… to the people who elected them,

hostage supporter Carmeet Roth told CBS News at a new tent encampment outside the defense complex

The level of bodily damage that these children get in particular is insane. My surgeries there consisted of 4- and 5- and 6-year-old kids with significant nerve injuries, and I've had to borrow nerves from both of their legs to graft nerves in their arms,

he told CBS News in a phone interview

We're ready with a different set of plans, including more troops on the ground and a ground operation if needed,

he told CBS News at a briefing this week

Reports are coming in that a UNOPS colleague has been killed in a detonation in Deir al Balah. It is understood that UNOPS accommodation was hit at approximately 11:30 a.m. this morning,

the agency said

You can go up to, let's say, 80%, 90% of destroying the Hamas,

he said

We know over a year now that military pressure does not bring back the hostages,

he said

This was not an accident, this was an incident,

he told reporters, saying

What we do know is that an explosive ordnance was dropped or fired at the infrastructure and detonated inside the building,

UNOPS chief Jorge Moreira da Silva said

The Secretary-General stresses the need for the ceasefire to be respected to bring an end to the suffering of the people. Humanitarian aid must reach all people in need. The hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally,
