Good evening MEE readers,

At the end of the 28th day of Israel’s attack on Gaza, the death toll stands at more than 9,000 dead.

Israel struck the entrance to the largest hospital in Gaza, later claiming that Hamas was “using” one of the ambulances, killing at least 15 people.

An air strike on a UN-run school, which was sheltering the displaced, also left at least 20 people dead.

Here are the other major updates from the region in the past few hours:

  • The UN has estimated $1.2bn is needed to meet the needs of people in Gaza following Israel’s assault

  • Honduras joins Bolivia, Chile and Colombia in downgrading relations with Israel

  • French President Emmanuel Macron announces humanitarian conference in Paris for 9 November
