Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, has described the risk of escalation in the Middle East as “acute”, as Washington and its allies try to avoid a full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah.

“We meet at a time of high tension,” Blinken said at the start of a meeting with senior officials and ministers of the Gulf Co-operation Council in New York on Wednesday.

Lebanon’s health minister, Firass Abiad, said 51 people had been killed and more than 220 injured on Wednesday, the third day of major Israeli air attacks across the country.

It brings the death toll since Monday to more than 600, including 50 children, with about 2,000 people wounded.
