A halt in fighting would allow aid into the territory and talks for a permanent solution to be stepped up. Palestinian officials said the death toll had reached 1,010, including 673 civilians.

More than 300 of the dead are children, with a further 1,500 among the 3,500 wounded, Ann Veneman, the head of the United Nations children's agency UNICEF claimed yesterday.

An Israeli bomb struck a graveyard - the crammed Sheikh Radwan cemetery in Gaza City - sending body parts flying and blasting craters in the ground.

'Gaza is all a graveyard,' gravedigger Salman Omar said while residents collected charred body parts in plastic bags and placed them back in a crater which was all that remained of around 30 graves.
The Israeli army said the strike targeted a weapons storeroom adjacent to the cemetery and a separate strike targeted a spot from which rockets are launched.
