At least 31 Palestinians have been killed and 274 others wounded as the Israeli blitz on Gaza Strip entered its third day, Palestinian health authorities said on Sunday. The new fatalities included six children and four women as hospitals across the Palestinian enclave come under immense pressure, according to Palestinian health ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qodra. Israeli air strikes have pounded the Gaza Strip for three days, leaving scores of Palestinians either dead or injured, while buildings and other infrastructure were reduced to rubble. — KUNA
