Photos: Israeli 'massacres' destroy neighbourhoods in Gaza

Palestinians across the Gaza Strip woke up this morning to survey the damage in their neighbourhoods after another night of Israeli bombardment.

On Monday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said the death toll in Gaza had surpassed 5,000, with at least 436 people dying from the Israeli bombardment on Sunday alone.

The Ministry described the aftermath of the bombing as "massacres", a word it uses to describe Israeli attacks that leave mass deaths of three people or more in a single air raid.
