Israeli artillery shelling targets central and eastern city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

On Saturday the Health Ministry reported 520 bodies have been found in seven mass graves discovered so far.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are fleeing Israel shelling and desperately searching for a safer area.

Many have found refuge in a makeshift displaced camp in Deir al Balah, in central Gaza.

These tents are now the only shelter for people with nowhere else to go.

Aid hasn’t entered the strip since Sunday, and the UN says hospitals will stop functioning if no fuel enters the strip in the next 24 hours.

Hospitals in the south of Gaza served as lifelines as Israel attacked the north, but they are now coming under increasing pressure.

Al Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza is warning that it will run out of fuel within 48 hours, that would force the facility to suspend operations. The three main medical facilities in Rafah are Al Najjar, the Emirati maternity and the Kuwaiti hospital- are either closed, cannot take new patients or are struggling to cope.
