Gaza's heath ministry has updated the death toll of the overnight Israeli air strikes on the besieged enclave to 188, including 55 children and 33 women.

Civil defence forces continue to carry out search and rescue operations, looking for civilians under the rubble of their homes that have been hit in the pre-dawn raids, the ministry said in an update sent to Middle East Eye.
