French President Emmanuel Macron has urged nations to “work towards a ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip, as he opened a conference on aid to the Palestinian territory.

“In the immediate term, we need to work on protecting civilians. To do that, we need a humanitarian pause very quickly and we must work towards a ceasefire,” Macron told delegates.
