Israel has been bombing the area through the day, with more than 30 air strikes in just an hour.

Forty-six people are confirmed dead - and that toll is expected to rise.

Others are in critical condition in hospital, after Israeli attacks earlier this week.

Noor Mossawi is among them. The six-year-old is lying unconscious in a paediatric intensive care unit, in Rayak Hospital, with bandages wrapped around her fractured skull.
