The death toll in Gaza passed 400 on Sunday as Israel pressed its biggest offensive against the besieged Gaza Strip in five years, Palestinian health officials said.
"410 people have been killed since the war started and more than 3,020 people have been injured, most of them civilians," deputy health minister Yussef Abu Rish told reporters at Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
At least 40 Palestinians were killed and nearly 400 wounded in Israeli shelling of Gaza's northeastern Shejaiya district overnight, medics said on Sunday.
