Key developments from Friday, November 10: 

The WHO said on Friday that 20 hospitals in Gaza were now out of action. The biggest hospital in the Gaza Strip was coming under bombardment on Friday, the World Health Organization said, adding that 20 hospitals in the Palestinian enclave were now out of action entirely.

US President Joe Biden said on Friday that humanitarian pauses were ‘a step in the right direction’. Israel has agreed to humanitarian “pauses” in its offensive on Hamas in Gaza after pressure from the US, said Biden, welcoming “a step in the right direction”.

Health officials in the Hamas-run enclave said on Friday that more than 11,078 people, including 4,506 children, have been killed since the start of Israel’s military operation. The number of wounded has rised to 27,490, according to the Gaza health ministry. Israel meanwhile revised its October 7 Hamas attack death toll from 1, 400 to “around 1,200” people. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat said it was “an updated estimate”.

More than 100,000 residents of the Gaza Strip have fled southwards over the last two days as Israeli forces operate “deep in Gaza City”, said chief Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on Friday.
