Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced the United Nations Security Council after the U.S. vetoed a ceasefire resolution for Gaza. He called the international body the "Israel protection council," according to the Times of Israel.

"Since October 7, the Security Council has become an Israel protection and defense council," Erdogan said, according to the Times.

"Is this justice?" Erdogan asked, adding that “the world is bigger than five,” a reference to the five veto-wielding nations in the U.N. Security Council, according to the Times.

U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood told the council on Friday that the resolution "was divorced from reality" and "would not move the needle forward on the ground in any concrete way" in explaining why the U.S. could not support it.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with International Committee of the Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric Egger on Friday to "emphasize the importance of the ICRC's humanitarian response to the conflict in Gaza," a statement from the agency said.

Blinken thanked the ICRC for delivering "life-saving assistance and protection of civilians," according to the statement.

"The Secretary and ICRC President also discussed efforts to strengthen civilian protections and expand the flow of humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza. The Secretary reiterated the call for the immediate release of all hostages and highlighted the need for the ICRC to be granted access to the remaining hostages," Blinken said.

As the death toll continues to climb, UNICEF called the Gaza Strip the most dangerous place in the world for children.

"The Gaza Strip is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child. Scores of children are reportedly being killed and injured on a daily basis. Entire neighborhoods, where children used to play and go to school have been turned into stacks of rubble, with no life in them," UNICEF said in a statement.

Close to 1 million children in Gaza have been "forcibly displaced from their homes," according to UNICEF.

"They are now being pushed further and further south into tiny, overcrowded areas without water, food, or protection, putting them at increased risk of respiratory infections and waterborne disease. Their lives are further threatened by dehydration, malnutrition and disease," UNICEF said.

"UNICEF and other humanitarian actors have been ringing the alarm for weeks. Our team on the ground describe meeting children with missing limbs and third-degree burns, and children left shell-shocked by the continuing violence that surrounds them," UNICEF said.

UNICEF called for an immediate ceasefire.

"An immediate, long-lasting humanitarian ceasefire is the only way to end the killing and injuring of children, the only way that civilians can be protected, and the only way to enable the urgent delivery of desperately needed lifesaving aid," UNICEF said.

The death of Sahar Baruch was confirmed in a statement by Kibbutz Be'eri and the families of the hostages. Baruch, 25, was from kibbutz Be'eri and abducted by Hamas from his home on Oct 7.

The statement does not mention the circumstances of Baruch's death, but his name and images were mentioned in the Hamas statement and video announcing his death following the failed special ops raid.

Photos and video circulating online Thursday show dozens of Palestinian men being detained by the Israeli military, many stripped down to their underwear, in the streets of a city in northern Gaza.

In one of the images, dozens of men are lined up against a wall while kneeling with their hands behind their backs and stripped down to their underwear. The same image shows dozens of other men in an Israel Defense Forces truck. ABC News geolocated a sign for a pharmacy captured in the image to the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

A video of the same scene shows a long line of men in their underwear sitting and standing in a line, surrounded by IDF personnel.

When asked about the images and video, the IDF told ABC News that its troops "apprehended hundreds of terror suspects" in Shejaiya, Jabalya and Khan Yunis.

Hamas said in a statement in response to the images that the men were unarmed civilians.

Hani Almadhoun, director of philanthropy for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, told ABC News that several of his family members were detained by the IDF, including his 72-year-old father, brother and 13-year-old nephew.

"They just want the job to feed to provide for their families to make a buck here and there live in a nicer home. That's all not happening now for them," he said. "Now they've been dubbed as operatives and combatants when they were napping in their homes in the safety of their homes with their kids."

Almadhoun, who is based in D.C., said he hasn’t heard from them since and doesn't know how to go about finding information on their whereabouts.
