Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli air strikes on Sunday killed more than 40 Palestinians, including at a market and a water distribution point, as talks for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas stalled.

The talks on a new ceasefire for Gaza have stuttered in Doha – while in Gaza itself dozens of people are being killed every day as the Israeli military consolidates its control over large parts of the territory.

Gaza health officials say Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 19 people including six children at a water collection point.
