Israeli forces launched attacks up and down the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing at least 130 people as a refugee camp in the north and a hospital in the south were hit, according to Palestinian officials, media and eyewitnesses.

Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza killed 90 Palestinians on Sunday, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said. Another missile attack on a house belonging to the Shehab family killed 24 people, Hamas Aqsa radio said.
In central Gaza, medics said 12 Palestinians had been killed and dozens wounded in Deir al-Balah, while in Rafah in the south an Israeli airstrike on a house left at least four people dead.
Meanwhile, the United Nations security council will vote on Monday on a new resolution calling for an “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities” in Gaza, as Washington exhibits growing impatience Israel, its key ally Israel.
The vote comes days after the US blocked a previous security council resolution that would have called for a “humanitarian ceasefire” in Palestinian territory.
More on those stories soon. In other key developments:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said it is “appalled” after Israel’s deadly raid on northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital at the weekend. WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said the “effective destruction” of the hospital over the past several days was “rendering it non-functional and resulting in the death of at least eight patients”.
The Israeli army has said it uncovered the biggest Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip so far, just a few hundred metres from a key border crossing. Such was its size that small vehicles would be able to travel within it, an AFP photographer granted access to it reported. The underground passage formed part of a wider branching network that stretched for more than 2.
