Live updates: Israel-Hamas war rages as crisis deepens in Gaza
At least five people were killed and 15 others injured in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, Gaza.
The strike targeted a multi-story house, according to the Palestinian interior ministry.
The airstrike happened without prior warning from the Israel Defense Forces.
US officials are in Ismailia, Egypt, as close to the border with Gaza as conditions allow.
The US government has been trying to get officials to the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, but acute security threats have prevented it.
The crossing between Gaza and Egypt is the only remaining outlet for supplies, but it has been closed for much of the past week.
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh urged the US and the international community to intervene to stop Israel's airstrikes and blockade.
He called for the immediate opening of safe corridors to facilitate the delivery of food and medical supplies and to evacuate the wounded.
The Israeli government ordered the evacuation of 28 villages in northern Israel within two kilometers of the country's border with Lebanon.
This comes amid an exchange of fire on the border between Israel and Hezbollah.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan about diplomatic efforts to prevent the conflict from widening and to minimize the humanitarian costs of the war in Israel.
President Joe Biden is scrapping a trip to Colorado for "national security meetings."
Discussions are underway for a possible visit to the Middle East after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended an invitation to Biden.
Life in the West Bank is becoming more difficult by the day.
Restrictions on movements have been imposed by the Israeli military, and the worry is that Israel's reaction to the Hamas attack will have devastating consequences for civilians in the West Bank.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of a potential "abyss in the Middle East" as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens.
Urgent appeals have been issued to Israel and Hamas for the release of hostages and the granting of rapid and unimpeded aid for humanitarian supplies.
