Israel-Gaza updates: Biden speaks with Netanyahu about hostages, Gaza aid

World leaders gathered in Egypt for the Cairo Summit for Peace, as part of efforts to end the war in Gaza. Jordan's King Abdullah II condemned Israel's "bombing campaign" of Gaza, calling it a war crime.

"The relentless bombing campaign underway in Gaza as we speak, is cruel and unconscionable on every level. It is collective punishment of a besieged and helpless people. It is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. It is a war crime," King Abdullah II said.

King Abdullah called for an end to the war and the protection of civilians lives. He also called for an end to the displacement of Palestinians and for the continuous passage of humanitarian aid.

"Anywhere else, attacking civilian infrastructure and deliberately starving an entire population of food, water, electricity, and basic necessities would be condemned," he said.

As the Hamas-Israel war continues, the Palestinian death toll has risen to 4,385 deaths -- including 1,756 children and 967 women -- in addition to 13,561 injuries since the start of escalation on Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said fuel being left out of the aid that went into Gaza has dangerous repercussions on the health services. According to the ministry, the convoy that delivered aid to Gaza on Saturday only has 3% of the daily needs.

According to the ministry, seven hospitals and 25 health-care centers are now out of service due to running out of fuel. Bed occupancy in the hospitals have reached more than 150%, which led to tents to absorb the huge number of injuries.

A 20-truck convoy of humanitarian assistance has been delivered to the people in Gaza after the Rafah border crossing was opened Saturday. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken thanked the international community for facilitating the safe passage of the convoy.

"With this convoy, the international community is beginning to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza that has left residents of Gaza without access to sufficient food, water, medical care, and safe shelter," Blinken said in a statement.

"We urge all parties to keep the Rafah crossing open to enable the continued movement of aid that is imperative to the welfare of the people of Gaza. We have been clear: Hamas must not interfere with the provision of this life-saving assistance. Palestinian civilians are not responsible for Hamas’s horrific terrorism, and they should not be made to suffer for its depraved acts," Blinken said in a statement.

The humanitarian aid that was delivered into the Gaza Strip via Egypt on Saturday morning contained food and medicine but no fuel, according to Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.
