Gaza teeters on the brink after half a million are made homeless, medical supplies run out, morgues overflow and ANOTHER shelter full of children gets bombed as UN chief says: 'It's a criminal act'
United Nations warns medical facilities are 'on the verge of collapse' as almost half of medics are unable to get to work
It says a third of all hospitals in Gaza have been damaged and 270,000 people are crammed into 90 UN shelters
Officials said missile struck at gates of one such shelter today in Rafah, killing 10 people inside and out and injuring 35
It is at least the sixth UN facility to be hit and contained 3,000 Palestinians who were sheltering from strikes
UN Secretary-General: Strike is 'moral outrage and criminal act' and 'yet another gross violation of humanitarian law'
As 27th day of conflict began the death toll stood at more than 1,700 Palestinians and 67 Israelis including 64 soldiers
Israel lays blame for civilian deaths with Hamas, saying it stores rockets in civilian areas creating 'human shields'
Many tanks withdrew from Gaza Strip amid reports tunnel destruction was complete - but attacks continued
British Foreign Secretary declares: 'The situation in Gaza is simply intolerable. We have to get the killing to stop'
