Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 44 people across Gaza, health officials said. International pressure has grown for a ceasefire, but Israel’s leader remains defiant about continuing the war.

Strikes in central and northern Gaza killed people in their homes in the early hours of Saturday morning. This included nine from the same family in a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to health staff at the Al-Awda hospital where the bodies were brought.
