Israeli strikes have killed at least 85 Palestinians in Gaza, including five UN staff members, as fighting in the enclave continues. The head of the UNRWA expressed concern that the death toll will continue to rise and described the situation as an 'endless unleashing of the most inhumane ordeals.' The UK government has opposed the resumption of Israel's hostilities and a British national was among the wounded in a strike on a UN compound. Israel has previously stated that it only targets militants and blames civilian deaths on Hamas.
