00:00Israeli strikes across Lebanon killed at least 27 people on Wednesday, according to
00:07Lebanon's health ministry.
00:10In the southern city of Nabatia, at least 16 people were killed, including the city's
00:14mayor.
00:15Lebanon's caretaker prime minister accused Israel of intentionally targeting a municipal
00:21council meeting there to discuss relief efforts.
00:25Israel has ramped up its attacks on the country amid growing international criticism that
00:29it is targeting UN peacekeepers in the region.
00:33UNIFIL again said that Israel deliberately targeted its positions in an attack on its
00:38watchtower.
00:39Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza remains dire as Israel's siege of the
00:45Jabalia refugee camp enters its 13th day.
00:49The top UN humanitarian official is accusing Israel of blocking the delivery of desperately
00:54needed aid to Gaza, saying there's barely any food left in the north.
00:58During the first two weeks of October, just one out of 54 coordinated movements to the
01:06north via the al-Rashid checkpoint was facilitated by Israeli authorities, while another four
01:17were impeded but eventually accomplished.
01:22Following warnings from the U.S., Israel led in a limited amount of aid on Wednesday.
01:26But the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations called the progress insufficient.
