Search and rescue efforts continue in Gaza

Rescue workers in Gaza are continuing to search through the rubble of destroyed buildings following Israeli air strikes on the besieged enclave.

At least 192 Palestinians, including 58 children, have been killed in air strikes since Israel started its heavy bombardment on Monday.

Victims have been pulled out from under collapsed buildings, where over 1,200 people have been injured. 

Medical staff have described horrific scenes at one of Gaza’s biggest hospitals, al-Shifa, which has been overwhelmed by patients. 

The air strikes on Gaza have been condemned internationally and by numerous rights organisations, who have called for governments to cease arms deals with Israel.
