Isreal - Gaza War: Death Toll Tops 1,000



The death toll in Gaza has passed 1,000, Palestinian medical officials report, 19 days after Israel launched an offensive against Hamas militants who have continued to fire rockets into Israel.

It comes amid a 12-hour humanitarian truce, which Gaza residents have been using to gather essential supplies and retrieve bodies buried under rubble.

Thirty-nine Israelis have also been killed since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on 8 July.

International talks urging a longer truce were held in Paris on Saturday.
