Health officials the Gaza Strip say Israeli strikes overnight and into Sunday killed at least 14 Palestinians, including a mother and her two children who were inside a tent that was struck. Israel says it plans to seize full control of Gaza and facilitate what it refers to as the voluntary migration of much of its population of 2 million Palestinians.

As countries such as Canada, France and Britain speak out against Israel’s renewed siege, there has barely been a peep about it from the U.S. government.

A pediatrician and mother of 10 is mourning the deaths of nine of her young children after an Israeli airstrike hit their home in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

Gaza's Health Ministry says the bodies of 79 people killed by Israel strikes have been brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours.

By placing restrictions on food imports, Israel has claimed to be trying to put pressure on Hamas by making life difficult for the people in Gaza. "The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” said one Israeli government adviser in 2006.

Per Israeli officials, 93 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, but experts say that is not nearly enough.
