     'A local UN official said it was possible an even more hellish scenario was about to unfold – one in which humanitarian operations may not be able to respond.

     While about 100 lorryloads of aid have entered Gaza via the Rafah crossing on each of the past two days, deliveries across the territory are being hindered by the ongoing fighting.

     Last night, the main Palestinian telecommunications firm said all phone and internet services were cut once again.'

     'In videos shared on social media overnight, loud thuds of explosions can be heard near Khan Younis, apparently from Israeli strikes and shelling.

     Yesterday, witnesses in southern Gaza said Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles could be seen approaching the city from the east

     Israel’s army said the main road leading there from the north now constituted “a battlefield”.

     With the war spreading, Palestinians and aid agencies warn people are running out of places to flee to.

     A morning recap of the latest:
     The US State Dept said that the truce between Israel and Hamas fell apart because Hamas refused to free all women hostages, as it did not want them to speak publicly about sexual violence
     The UN warned that thousands of people in Gaza could once again be relocating, despite the fact the US urged Israel to avoid further mass displacements. Earlier, the Israeli military published a map on social media telling civilians to leave areas to the north-east of Khan Younis
