Israeli strikes killed 42 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the worst daily toll yet in almost a week of deadly clashes, as the UN Security Council met amid global alarm at the escalating conflict.

The heaviest exchange of fire in years, sparked by unrest in Jerusalem, has killed 197 in Gaza since Monday, along with 10 in Israel, according to authorities on either side.

"We were sleeping and then all of a sudden there were rockets raining down on us," said Lamia al-Koulak, 43, who lost siblings and children in the dawn bombardment. "Now basic supplies and power are running low, compounding and further fuelling this humanitarian catastrophe," said the charity's country director Jason Lee.The Israel army says it takes all possible precautions to avoid harming civilians, and blames Hamas for deliberately placing military targets in densely populated areas.

Poor poor people...

Support Israel

Please present the facts on this conflict. People are rushing to lefty hype lines without any knowledge of the history or current situation. Need facts ASAP. Go media go.

Your twits are amazing shows how much you all understand the conflict in middle east. No matter who is there instead of Palestinians it would be the same, I just would lite to let u all know if S. Arabia Jordan and UAE want this Genocid to stop they can.

Why the U N doesn't blame Hams for starting that war by firing its rockets ?

If Hamas want war they should move away from civilians and fight the battle against Israel military. They suppose to have Allah on their side so why hide amongst those kids and adults that don't want to be involved

Since US is so worrying about Muslims in China, I just wondering why it doesn’t care the ones in Palestine.

UN is useless and just receives money to put out statements

The cowards of Hamas caused this by launching missiles at Israel then hiding amongst the population.

ScottMorrisonMP Are you still defending it

Go the Palestinians. Israel is doing to Gaza what the Nazis did to Warsaw

They are evils

OMG! This must stop! 😥

More than 52,000 Palestinians have been displaced by Israeli airstrikes, UN saysThe UN aid agency says more than 52,000 Palestinians have been displaced by Israeli airstrikes that destroyed or damaged nearly 450 buildings in Gaza. Blame Hamas who started firing rockets at Israel . Boycott and impose sanctions now! Time for the ATO to make Israeli donations from Australia non tax deductible. If they can afford so many rockets then they don’t need the Aus taxpayer subsidising them. Email your local MP.

Palestinians burn tyres and hurl stones in violent Israel protests | Sky News AustraliaPalestinians have launched a day of demonstrations and strikes in Jerusalem and the West Bank where hundreds of people burned tyres and hurled stones.\n\nIsraeli police responded to the protest by firing gas bombs and stun grenades at demonstrators to limit the violence.\n\nPalestinian militants have fired a barrage of mortar shells across the border with Israel in retaliation to hundreds of air strikes targeting Hamas' militant infrastructure.\n\nThere had been a brief pause in violence overnight allowing the UN to send a small fuel convoy into Gaza.\n\nThe UN says more than 52,000 Palestinians have been displaced and 450 buildings destroyed or damaged and Amnesty International suggests some Israeli airstrikes may amount to war crimes.\n For the last seven decades, the Palestinian _Israeli conflict has not been resolved. Israel should understand that there is no stability in the region, unless 'the two state solution' is implemented. Hahaha with all the killing Israel is doing is blaming a Palestinian protest! You are so low! Stones vs bombs! You're a joke skynews!
