The death toll from Israel’s renewed strikes in Gaza has reached 404, the health ministry in the enclave said, adding that several people remain trapped under the rubble.
Another 562 people have been injured, the health ministry said.
Gaza Civil Defense spokesman, Mahmoud Basal, told CNN that “more than 130 children and many women” have been killed, including entire families.
“We are in front of a very difficult situation and our medical and civil defense efforts do not meet the needed scale of the catastrophe,” Basal said. CNN.com
