Israeli border shelling sends refugees pouring inland

They are among more than 50,000 civilians taken in by the main United Nations agency in Gaza, UNRWA, as they flee heavy shelling amid an Israeli ground offensive into the border areas of the Gaza Strip. UNRWA is now warning that its funds and supplies are running critically low. "The number of those fleeing continues to rise inexorably and has more than doubled in the last 36 hours," UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness told Reuters. At least 325 Palestinians, including 70 children, have been killed in the 12-day cross-border battle between Israel and Palestinians militants, according to Gaza officials.
