Security Council to hold emergency session on Gaza

The UN Security Council was set to meet for an emergency session Friday on the situation in Gaza, following the launch of an Israeli ground operation, diplomats say.

The meeting — called at the request of Jordan and Turkey — was due to begin at 3:00 p.m. (1900 GMT).

Meanwhile, the United Nations says that the number of Gaza displaced ‘almost doubles’ in the past 24 hours.
