Israeli warplanes struck a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip early on Sunday, killing at least 38 people and injuring dozens of others, health officials said.

The attack came as Israel said it will press on with its offensive to crush the territory’s Hamas rulers, despite US appeals for a suspension of the fighting to get aid to desperate civilians.
