Introduction
An aid site in Gaza offered a women-only day yesterday, but it didn't stop the killings. Officials said that more than 40 people were killed in the last 24 hours.
Background
The site, run by the United Nations, is a place where women and children can find refuge from the violence gripping the Gaza Strip. It has been the site of frequent outbreaks of fighting in the last year.
Killings continue despite women-only area
But the killings continued despite the presence of women and children. Officials said that dozens of people were killed in gun battles between militants and Israeli troops in various parts of the territory.
Gun battles and airstrikes continue
The officials also said that Israeli airstrikes, which have been targeting militant sites, have also killed several people.
Increasing violence in the region
The ongoing violence comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Gaza, with Palestinian militant groups increasingly launching rockets into southern Israel.
