As the Israel-Hamas war continues past its fifth week, we take a look at what happened in the region this past week.
The World Health Organization warns that nowhere and no one is safe in the Gaza Strip. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke before the United Nations Security Council on Friday. He again called for a cease-fire and additional deliveries of much needed aid.
Israel's U.N. ambassador told the Security Council that Israel had created a taskforce to establish hospitals in southern Gaza.
The United Nations says about two-thirds of residents in Gaza have been internally displaced.
