Reuters: UN leaders say Gaza war must ‘stop now’ as reported death toll tops 10,000
At least 10,022 Palestinians have been killed including 4,104 children in Israeli strikes on Gaza since Oct. 7, the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza said.

Israel has rebuffed mounting international pressure for a ceasefire, saying hostages taken by Hamas militants during their rampage in southern Israel on Oct. 7 should be released first.
