Fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants shows no sign of abating, and concern is mounting over the toll the violence is taking on civilians.
Striking images have captured the human cost of the conflict over the past few days, as air strikes and rocket attacks turn homes and possessions into rubble and force people to rush for shelter.
Israel says its air strikes on Gaza have targeted Palestinian militants but power lines and main roads have also been damaged.

Some of his family were buried beneath the debris.
That day was the deadliest in Gaza since fighting erupted more than a week ago.
Israeli air strikes hit a busy street just after midnight, causing several buildings to collapse and dozens of deaths.
"We need at least 10 years more to build what has been damaged here in Gaza," Mohammad Abu Rayya, a paediatrician, told the BBC on Monday following further strikes. slot
Impromptu funerals have been held around the territory. The woman above is mourning her family who died in a strike in Gaza City.
