Gaza is slipping into famine, UN-backed experts warned Tuesday, as the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory said the death toll in the nearly 22-month war had surpassed 60,000.The health ministry figure excludes deaths from hunger in the Palestinian territory gripped by dire humanitarian conditions made worse by Israel's total blockade of aid from March to May.

Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar strongly rejected international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. He called the pressure a "distorted campaign." Sa'ar said stopping the war while Hamas controls Gaza and holds hostages would harm both Israelis and Palestinians.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – President Donald Trump says he wants the fighting in Gaza and Ukraine to end. The president threatened tariffs against Russia if there’s no ceasefire in the next ten to 12 days and he says Israel’s president needs to let more food into Gaza as children and adults suffer from malnutrition.
