In pictures: Palestinians flee to 'safe areas' after Israel resumes bombardment of Gaza

Israel renewed its bombing campaign of the Gaza Strip on Friday morning after talks to extend a truce had failed. 

The Palestine health ministry said the new round of Israeli bombardment had already killed 21 Palestinians with dozens more wounded. 

Pictures posted by AFP showed thousands of Palestinians back on the street walking to safer areas.
