The head of the International Red Cross, Jakob Kellenberger, has been to the Gaza Strip to see the humanitarian situation.

Mr Kellenberger visited the main Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, where he said he was very concerned that many of those injured in the fighting were unable to get rapid medical assistance.

He told reporters: "It is not negotiable that a medical mission in such a conflict has to be protected. The medical mission has to be protected".
