_45378401_006726758-1.jpgThe UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon has expressed outrage at the shelling of a UN relief camp in Gaza City, which is also the UN headquarters in Gaza, by Israeli forces. The Israeli government say the shelling of the UN site was a "grave mistake". There have been a lot of grave mistakes since this offensive began on 27 December, with repeated claims that civilian deaths were accidental casualties of war in a deeply populated area.

Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip reach 1,028 according to Gaza medical sources. Nearly a third of the dead are said to be children. 13 Israelis are reported to have died so far.
