Labour leader Chris Hipkins addresses situation in Gaza

Labour leader Chris Hipkins is set to make a statement on the situation in Gaza.

Israel has vowed to annihilate the Hamas militant group that controls Gaza after its fighters killed 1200 people and took 240 hostages in an attack in October.

In response, Israel launched a major bombing campaign followed by a ground operation. Gaza authorities say more than 12,000 people are confirmed dead.

New Zealand's response to the conflict is under scrutiny, with one survey suggesting 60 percent of Kiwis agree the New Zealand Government should call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
