"The International Committee of the Red Cross is deeply concerned with the impact of ongoing security operations on the civilian population in Jenin and Tulkarem, Tubas and other locations in northern West Bank," it said in a statement.

Thousands of civilians have been displaced due to ongoing military raids, it said.

People are struggling to access basic needs such as clean water, food, medical care and shelter, the ICRC added.

01:10 GMT — US senator files new set of resolutions to block arms sales to Israel

Senator Bernie Sanders last week filed four Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) that would block the sale of $8.56 billion in offensive US weaponry to Israel, his office said Monday.

Sanders said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "extremist government" has waged an "all-out war" against the entire Palestinian people.

"Tragically, much of this carnage has been carried out with American bombs and weapons," he said in the statement.

Netanyahu has used the US bombs to damage or destroy almost 70 percent of the structures in besieged Gaza, Sanders said, adding all of this has been done in "clear violation" of US and international law.

2254 GMT — Palestine calls for UN probe into alleged executions of prisoners in Israeli jails

Palestine called for a UN investigation into the alleged execution of prisoners in Israeli jails.

The statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed announcements from Palestinian institutions that the number of known Palestinian deaths in Israeli prisons had risen to 59 since the start of Israel's genocidal war on October 7, 2023, after the death of a detainee from Gaza.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry expressed grave concern over the rising number of deaths among prisoners.

The ministry condemned the situation in the jails as a "serious escalation in the (Israeli) occupation's aggression and unprecedented torture and abuse against the prisoners," particularly affecting the thousands of detainees whose whereabouts and fates have not been disclosed.

It called for the UN Human Rights Council's investigative committee to perform its duties and investigate the execution of detainees in Israeli prisons, which it described as a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions.
