The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza says more than 50,000 people have been killed by Israel's bombardment and invasion of the Gaza Strip.

ABC News say the Palestinian death toll, which slowed for two months due to a ceasefire, has dramatically increased since Israel restarted its attacks on March 18.

They say the Israeli Defence Minister said on Friday he had instructed troops to seize more land in Gaza and that Israel would annex it if Hamas refuses to release more hostages.
