Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip entered its eleventh consecutive day on Thursday, amid a mounting death toll and attacks on essential infrastructure in the besieged enclave.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 230 Palestinians, including at least 65 children, have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli bombardment which began on 10 May.
The death toll also continues to surge in the West Bank and Occupied East Jerusalem, with at least 27 killed since the violence commenced.
More than 6,000 others have been wounded across the Palestinian territories.
Despite four United Nations Security Council meetings, the UN has been unable to adopt a joint statement to halt the violence after the US blocked the measure.
