One Palestinian is being killed every five minutes in Gaza as Israeli air strikes pummel the besieged enclave non-stop for the ninth successive day, the health ministry said.
More than 724 children and 458 women are among 2,239 Palestinians killed so far, with nearly 10,000 more wounded - all in less than nine days.
