US continues diplomatic push as Arab nations demand Gaza ceasefire

Gaja: The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading to Turkey, as he continues his diplomatic push. He’s been working with leaders in the region on a so-called humanitarian pause.

President Joe Biden suggested there had been some progress on the issue.But Arab countries have been demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The US warns this would allow Hamas to regroup.

Meanwhile the UN says there are nearly 1.5 million displaced Gazans – and its facilities in the south are over capacity and no longer able to accept new arrivals.

Israel began bombing Gaza after Hamas killed more than 1,400 people in Israel and kidnapped more than 200 others.The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 9,400 people have been killed in the Strip since 7 October.
