Long Queue for Bread at Destroyed Bakery in Gaza | VOA News

Palestinians stand in a long queue outside a destroyed bakery in Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli ground troops pushed toward Gaza City Thursday amid continued diplomatic efforts to bring about a brief stop in the fighting and a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave.

U.S. President Joe Biden Wednesday urged a “humanitarian pause” in the war between Israel and Hamas militants. “A pause means give time to get the prisoners out. Give time,” he said.
