Evening recap

Hello MEE readers. It is almost 2 am in Gaza on day 66 of the war between Hamas and Israel.

Israel has been laying siege to several hospitals in the north of the enclave. Kamal Adwan and al-Awda hospitals have been faced with an Israeli military siege for several days now, creating fears of starvation as food supplies dwindle.

Doctors Without Borders said on Monday that one of its surgeons at al-Awda was shot and injured inside the hospital.

In the US, the Biden administration has been faced with growing pressure and scrutiny over its continued support for Israel's military campaign in Gaza.

Monday saw a mass mobilisation of several grassroots organisations across Washington calling for a ceasefire and end to US military support to Israel.

Dozens of protesters were arrested in the US Senate as lawmakers were discussing a spending bill that included $14bn in aid to Israel. And a group of Jewish protesters handcuffed themselves to the fence in front of the White House demanding an end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza.

The administration has also said it is looking into reports of white phosphorus being used by Israel. For months, rights groups have raised concerns about Israel's use of white phosphorus in Gaza and southern Lebanon.

However, a Washington Post report on Monday outlined the most definitive evidence so far that Israel has been using US-supplied white phosphorus rounds on civilians in Lebanon.
