Palestinian health officials and the local ambulance service say Israeli airstrikes and gunfire have killed at least 42 people in Gaza.
Israel has long restricted or completely blocked aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population.
The Hamas-run Palestinian health ministry said at least 54 people have starved to death in Gaza just this week. Twenty-eight western nations, more than a hundred humanitarian aid organizations, and top UN officials have all said Israeli policies are to blame.
