Gaza is becoming a "graveyard for children," the United Nations Secretary General warned as he renewed his calls for an urgent ceasefire to allow aid through to those caught in the cross fire of the conflict.
The number of people killed in Gaza since the start of the war has risen to more than 10,000 – with at least 4,100 thought to be children, according to the Hamas-led health ministry.
If the death toll is accurate it would mean the conflict has quickly become the deadliest round of Israeli-Palestinian violence since Israel’s establishment 75 years ago.
