A European diplomat said the group had gone to the area "to see the destruction" caused by months of Israeli operations.

Netanyahu's decision to allow what he called "minimal" food into Gaza was they said "wholly inadequate".Netanyahu has hit back, saying the "leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities".

He insisted the war could end if Hamas returned hostages, laid down its arms, agreed for its leaders to go into exile and Gaza was demilitarised. "No nation can be expected to accept anything less and Israel certainly won't," he said.Netanyahu - who is sought under an International criminal Court warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, which he has dismissed as "antisemitic" - had been under heavy international pressure to end the blockade of Gaza after a respected international survey warned of imminent famine.At the London summit between the EU and the UK the President of the European Council, António Costa, called the humanitarian crisis in Gaza "a tragedy where international law is being systematically violated, and an entire population is being subjected to disproportionate military force".

"There must be safe, swift and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid," he said.Netanyahu's reluctant decision to allow in limited supplies was condemned by his ultra nationalist coalition partners.

The Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, convicted in 2007 for incitement to racism and supporting an extremist Jewish group that Israel classifies as a terrorist organisation, complained that Netanyahu's decision would "fuel Hamas and give it oxygen while our hostages languish in tunnels".

Only five trucks made it into Gaza on Monday, as Israeli troops advanced and air and artillery strikes killed more Palestinian civilians including many young children.Taiwanese authorities have analysed the footage and concluded that it was authentic. They confirmed the man was in Taoyuan, but said they were still investigating whether the man had travelled by boat across the strait or had flown into Taiwan.

Anyone caught illegally entering Taiwan can face up to five years in jail and a fine of up to 500,000 Taiwanese dollars (£12,300; $16,600).Taiwan used to see thousands of Chinese attempting to enter illegally every year, particularly in the 1990s when Taiwan's booming economy attracted impoverished Chinese looking for work.

While overall numbers are much lower now, there appears to be an uptick in recent years, according to official figures published in Taiwanese media.There were 15 Chinese caught in 2023, and while there are no available figures for the whole of last year, 23 were caught between June and September.
