Nothing has changed on the ground, and no additional routes were permitted, according to another U.N. official.Israel declared that, in addition to the additional humanitarian measures, it would continue its military operations.Newborn dies after extensive surgeryAfter a complicated emergency cesarean delivery, a baby girl passed away a few hours later.
