Palestinians surround a car that was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, Gaza Strip.

The Tánaiste is to travel to the Rafah border today where he will stress Ireland's "unwavering support" for those providing aid to 1.7 million Palestinians across Gaza.

Micheál Martin has stressed that against a backdrop of increased regional instability, "we cannot lose sight of the urgency of addressing the current crisis in Gaza" and the wider Israeli Palestinian issue.
