There is mounting pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza. President Biden is pushing for a deal. But tonight, an advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called Hamas's demands delusional. Earlier, explosions in large plumes of smoke were visible in Gaza as the conflict between Israel and Hamas now approaches its fifth month, and the humanitarian crisis is intensifying. Abc's Tom Sufi Burge, tonight from Tel Aviv.

Tonight, amid growing desperation in Gaza, Vice President Kamala Harris ramping up the rhetoric, saying Israel must do more to get aid into Gaza and calling for an immediate ceasefire.

And given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate ceasefire for at least the next six weeks.

The vice President's pointed remarks coming amid reports more kids in Gaza are dying from a lack of food. A doctor at this hospital saying, 15 children have now died of malnutrition. Israel insisting it has to ensure any aid goes directly to people in need.

We have to verify that it's not being stolen by Hamas, which has been happening on a daily basis.

That's clearly one of your priorities right now, but aren't you putting that ahead of getting aid to people in a desperate, desperate situation, innocent people?

As I've noted, Tom, we've enabled thousands, tens of thousands of humanitarian aid trucks to enter Gaza.

The IDF saying it continues to target Hamas. Some Democrats calling on President Biden to up the pressure on Israel.

This is a critical moment where social order is unraveling inside Gaza. I have both publicly and privately counseled the President to use whatever leverage he has to try to get this long-term ceasefire.

Lindsay, Vice President Kamala Harris, weighing in on those horrific scenes around that convoy of aid trucks in Gaza Thursday, saying, Hungary, desperate people were simply trying to secure food for their families, and they were met with gunfire and chaos. Lindsay.

Tom Forrest in Tel Aviv. Thanks so much.
