GAZA CITY, Nov. 6
Israel has continued military strikes in the Gaza Strip despite the ongoing ceasefire framework, as new details emerge regarding a United States–backed proposal now circulating at the United Nations Security Council. The plan outlines a transitional security arrangement and an international stabilisation force intended to oversee Gaza in the event of a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Aid agencies say the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains “intolerable and deteriorating,” with only a fraction of the agreed-upon aid entering the besieged enclave. Hospitals are struggling with shortages of medical supplies, fuel and surgical equipment, while shelters remain overcrowded and unsafe, especially in areas heavily damaged by airstrikes.
Below are the latest live developments:
14:00 GMT — Maersk CEO Sees Gaza Truce as Key to Reopening Red Sea Shipping Routes
The global shipping firm Maersk says the ceasefire in Gaza marks an important step toward restoring maritime trade routes through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
Maersk and other shipping companies were forced to reroute vessels around Africa following attacks by Yemen’s Houthi movement, who said their campaign was in response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
CEO Vincent Clerc said fears of long-term de-globalisation were overstated.
“This is a step toward restoring global trade stability,” he told reporters.
13:55 GMT — One Person Killed After Building Collapse in Gaza City
Emergency teams in Gaza City report that at least one person has been killed after a structurally damaged building collapsed in the Daraj neighborhood.
The building had been previously hit by Israeli airstrikes earlier in the conflict and was being used as shelter by displaced families.
UNRWA has warned repeatedly that thousands of Palestinians are living in unstable buildings at risk of collapse due to structural damage and lack of repair materials under blockade.
13:30 GMT — Only One-Third of Promised Aid Entering Gaza, Local Officials Say
Gaza’s media office said the Strip is receiving around 171 aid trucks per day, far below the 600 trucks per day originally approved under the ceasefire arrangement.
Officials say basic food staples — such as eggs, vegetables, fish, meat and dairy — continue to be restricted at border crossings.
Meanwhile, non-essential consumer items including soft drinks and confectionery continue to enter.
Aid groups describe the situation as “deeply inconsistent and politically driven.”
13:22 GMT — Israel Warns of Expanded Military Operations in Southern Lebanon
The Israeli military issued a public notice announcing upcoming strikes on what it described as Hezbollah “military infrastructure” in southern Lebanon.
Residents were advised to remain away from targeted areas.
Hezbollah said earlier that it maintains a “right to armed resistance” and accused Israel of violating the November 2024 ceasefire.
Cross-border tensions have increased in recent weeks, raising fears of escalation.
13:15 GMT — More Than 900 Israelis Enter Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound
More than 900 Israeli visitors, escorted by security forces, entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem today.
Under existing arrangements, non-Muslims are permitted to enter the site during specific visiting hours but are prohibited from performing religious rituals.
Palestinian religious authorities say these rules are being violated with increasing frequency.
12:45 GMT — WHO Calls for Emergency Medical Evacuations
The World Health Organization has urged countries to accept more injured civilians from Gaza and called on Israel to allow medical transfers to East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
More than 16,500 patients require urgent treatment abroad, including children wounded in airstrikes, burn victims, and patients with chronic diseases, the agency said.
