STORYLINE:
Egypt’s top diplomat met Monday with the U.N. coordinator for humanitarian aid to war-torn Gaza in the Egyptian new administrative capital.

Egyptian foreign minister Sameh Shoukry discussed with Sigrid Kaag the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as well as means to allow access of humanitarian aid into Gaza, according to Ahmed Abu Zaid, a spokesman for the Egyptian foreign ministry.

The deadliest round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in decades was sparked Oct. 7 when Hamas-led militants broke through Israel’s security barrier around Gaza and stormed into Israeli communities.

Around 1,200 people were killed and some 250 taken hostage.

Israel has laid waste to much of Gaza in response.

In five months of war, 80% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people fled their homes.

The death toll in Gaza topped 30,000 Thursday, with more than 70,000 wounded, the Health Ministry said.

The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants but says women and children make up around two-thirds of those killed.
