Rescuers dig for survivors as Gaza suffers ‘most intense’ bombing

At least 26 people died in Gaza after 150 Israeli air raids hit the besieged enclave in one hour overnight.

Rescue workers frantically searched for survivors under the rubble on Sunday as Israel’s bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip entered its seventh consecutive day. An hour-long rain of 150 rockets pounded the territory overnight on Sunday in what a Palestinian security source said was the “most intense” shelling since the second intifada, or uprising, that began in 2000. Emergency teams worked to pull out bodies from vast piles of smoking rubble and toppled buildings as relatives wailed in horror and grief.
