French President Emmanuel Macron has said that there must be a humanitarian pause very quickly in Gaza and that countries must also work for a ceasefire.
"Civilians must be protected, that's indispensable and non negotiable and is an immediate necessity," Mr Macron said at the start of a humanitarian conference on Gaza in Paris.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is among world leaders attending the International Conference on Humanitarian Assistance for the Civilian Population in Gaza.
The goal of the conference is to mobilise those involved in the humanitarian response in Gaza, including states, donors, international organisations and non-governmental organisations, and to take action to assist Palestinian civilians in the territory.
The Taoiseach will be hoping to engage with leaders from the Middle East on how to assist Irish citizens wishing to leave Gaza safely.
He will also hear from aid agencies working in the territory.

Speaking ahead of the conference, the Taoiseach reiterated his call for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
He said there must be a significant scaling up of humanitarian access and supplies to get vital aid to people in Gaza.
The hope here is that decisive action will stem from this conference convened by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Mr Varadkar said: "Leaders will discuss how we can better respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza, particularly in terms of health, food, water, medicines and electricity.
"Ireland has already committed an additional €13 million to help the people of Gaza, and we want to do more.
"I will engage with Leaders from Europe, the Middle East and further afield to see how Irish citizens wishing to leave Gaza can do so safely.
"I will also meet with agencies working in Gaza, including UNWRA and the Red Cross, to hear first hand about the situation."
