Israel finds second hostage body as UN says it cannot take aid into Gaza

Israel says its troops have found the body of a second woman held hostage by Hamas, during a search close to Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza

Noa Marciano, a 19-year-old soldier, was one of about 240 people kidnapped by Hamas gunmen during the 7 October atrocities, which killed 1,200 people

Israeli forces raided Al-Shifa hospital earlier in the week, believing it to contain a Hamas command centre – something Hamas denies

Meanwhile, the UN says a lack of fuel means that it can no longer bring aid into Gaza from Friday

People there are facing the “immediate possibility of starvation” with winter fast approaching, the UN World Food Programme says

Mobile phone and internet services are down because of the lack of fuel, Palestinian telecoms companies say

Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted Israeli forces have not been “successful” in minimising civilian casualties in Gaza – but blamed Hamas

More than 11,500 people have been killed in the territory since Israel began its retaliatory strikes, according to the Hamas-run health ministry
