United Nations warns medical facilities are 'on the verge of collapse' as almost half of medics are unable to get to work It says a third of all hospitals in Gaza have been damaged and 270,000 people are crammed into 90 UN shelters Officials said missile struck at gates of one such shelter today in Rafah, killing 10 people inside and out and injuring 35
As 27th day of conflict began the death toll stood at more than 1,700 Palestinians and 67 Israelis including 64 soldiers Many tanks withdrew from Gaza Strip amid reports tunnel destruction was complete - but attacks continued British Foreign Secretary declares: 'The situation in Gaza is simply intolerable. We have to get the killing to stop'
Almost half a million people - 460,000 or a quarter of all Gazans - have been displaced with 270,000 crammed into 90 desperately crowded UN shelters, some of which have had no running water for two weeks.
More rockets were also fired towards Israel, intercepted by its defences.
At least six U.N. facilities, including schools sheltering the displaced, have been struck by Israeli fire since the conflict began, drawing international condemnation.
In each case Israel has said it was responding to militants launching rockets or other attacks from nearby.
Israeli tanks were seen leaving the densely-packed, rubble-strewn Gaza Strip before the strikes on the 27th day of the conflict, as security sources said they had destroyed the vast majority of militants' tunnels.
But few had seen much hope of peace as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Hamas would pay an 'intolerable price' for any further rocket attacks.
Artillery shells slammed into two high-rise office buildings in central Gaza City and the town of Rafah came under heavy fire.

Look closely at pics of wounded on ground with red (blood) streams... These look fake and staged. Note there is no explosive damage in the area. I say BS!
when it comes to Islam....no sympathy
The blame falls on the shoulders of Hamas.
BTW, the Palis aren’t dancing in the streets like after the Twin Towers and Americans in them were terrorist victims.
“The damage and loss of life is regrettable. But Hamas started this war. “
I have little sympathy for the Gazans. They permit Hamas to be there and allow themselves to be used as foils in their attacks on Israel. “When you raid the whorehouse, the piano player goers too!”
‘Israel needs to dig a very deep ditch along their side of the border to stop the tunneling and install sensors to detect any subsequent digging, and they should offer to do the same thing for the Egyptians on the Sinai side. Better still, just stay in Gaza and hunt down and kill any remaining Hamas.
Boooooooooo (bleeping) Hooooooooooooo.
CC
Yep. Stop attacking Israel and all will be well. Otherwise not so much.
No sympathy for terrorists. Gazans elected Hamas and they got Hamas ... and all that goes with it.
No kidding! After all that tunneling, and now that all the missiles holding the roof up are gone!
Boooooooooo (bleeping) Hooooooooooooo.
What do other FReepers think of these horrid comments? Do you think certain parties are being paid by such organizations as CAIR to post this nest of lies?
Looking over the grieving palies, something doesn’t jive quite right: Palies, from their leaders to everyday palies, to their kids are ALWAYS touting how they crave Death over Life, they just can’t wait to get to the afterlife, and have no problem whatsoever to die by killing a few jews. They say this ALL the time... yet, now we see a few pictures of grieving palies, as if they value life instead of death. Hmmmm... what to believe? What they say ALL the time, or a few pics from AP and Rooters (Palie rooters).
yep...... nasty anti-Israel comments there
All any honest person can say is, look what Hamas has wrought.
Hmm, one picture shows a man carrying a toddler with the caption that she’s dead while a picture taken seconds apart captions that she’s injured. I really thought the Daily Mail was better than other msm for this sort of stunt. I was wrong. Next we’ll have The Green Man showing up at every bombing.
Hamas is all to blame. Till peaceful non-violent people throw off their oppressors in Hamas, they will continue to be used and die.
