AIR strikes by Israeli forces on the Gaza Strip killed at least 29 people today, including one that hit a home where displaced people were sheltering in the isolated north, killing 19, according to Palestinian medical officials.

The United Nations issued a warning about the worsening humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza as the Israelis continue to block access to aid for the Palestinians.

The 19 people killed in the strike on the northern town of Beit Lahiya were taken to the nearby Kamal Adwan Hospital. Hospital records show that a family of eight was among those killed, including four children, their parents and two grandparents.
