Work continues on maritime aid corridor to Gaza as famine looms

Work continues on a maritime aid corridor to Gaza, as United Nations officials warn sea and air drops are not enough in the face of looming famine. In the US, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has urged Israel to hold elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As Mr Netanyahu's administration again rejects international pressure for a two-state solution, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank appoints a new prime minister.
