Tens of thousands of Palestinians are being pushed further south as intense fighting continues in Gaza, two months since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas. Hundreds of people have meanwhile gathered in Tel Aviv to light the first candle of Hanukkah and hold a vigil for the families of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas.
Antonio Guterres has warned the Security Council that the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip "may aggravate existing threats to international peace and security". Israel s foreign minister called the secretary-general a "danger to world peace" in response.
