"ISRAEL pounded Gaza from air and sea in the deadliest day of the war.
World leaders ignored over demand for Israel to stop the killing.
Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early last night killed 10 people, raising the Palestinian death toll to 87 as Israel's relentless air campaign entered its sixth day.
The latest to die were two farmers in a strike in Qarara, east of Khan Yunis in the southern Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
Shortly before that, three people were killed in a strike on a car in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, all of them from the same family. In Gaza City, two women and a child were among four killed in a strike on the Zeitun neighbourhood.
Medics said a man had been found dead in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. He was Abdel Rahman al-Atar, a 50-year-old farmer.

The missile struck the home of the Daloo family in Gaza City, reducing the structure to rubble.
Among the 11 dead were four small children and five women, including an 81-year-old, Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said.
Israel yesterday defended its targeting of two buildings used by the media. Six journalists were injured in the attacks, one losing his leg. The offices were in separate tower blocks, both housing media offices.
Khalil Abu Foul, of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, said half of those killed had been women and children. "This is a big humanitarian crisis," he told the BBC.

The World Health Organisation said Gaza was facing a shortage of medical supplies and that its hospitals were overwhelmed with casualties.
Israel's decision to step up its attacks in Gaza marked a new and risky phase of the operation, given the likelihood of civilian casualties in the densely populated territory of 1.6 million Palestinians.
