France will host an international humanitarian conference for the civilian population in Gaza on Nov 9 as it looks to coordinate aid for the besieged Palestinian enclave, three diplomatic sources said, according to Reuters.

President Emmanuel Macron confirmed to reporters in Brittany that the conference would take place.

The conference will be at head of state, government and foreign minister level.

Key regional stakeholders such as Egypt, Jordan and the Gulf Arab countries will be invited as well as the main Western and European powers. International institutions and organisations will also be present, the diplomats said.
