Children in Gaza are increasingly subject to malnutrition and dehydration-related deaths, UNICEF has warned, as Israel's war and siege on the enclave rages.

More and more children in Gaza are on the brink of malnutrition and severe dehydration, UNICEF has warned, as at least 15 children have died in the enclave due to a lack of food and water.

Israel's war on the territory continues to rage, as bombardment has been reported in Rafah, Khan Younis and Gaza City. The death toll on Sunday has reached 30,410, according to the health ministry in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Hamas officials have arrived in Cairo, Egypt in a bid to come to a truce agreement, while Qatari and US envoys are reportedly present.

A Hamas official said a ceasefire deal could be secured "within 24 to 48 hours" if Israel accepts the Palestinian group's demands in ongoing talks.
