– Another ceasefire is about to start in Israel and Gaza, but this one is expected to last a few days instead of a few hours. The US and UN announced that "all parties" had agreed to the humanitarian ceasefire, which is to begin at 8am tomorrow local time and last 72 hours—unless international negotiators manage to extend it, reports AP. The development comes as the Palestinian death toll climbed above 1,400, which the Guardian says is more than the previous two Israel-Hamas conflicts combined. The vast majority of victims have been civilians. It wasn't immediately clear whether Israel would continue to destroy tunnels used by Hamas to launch attacks over the three-day lull.
The death toll in Gaza has topped 1,400, with more than 40 people dying after another day of intense Israeli bombardment from air, sea and land. 
  
 The toll is now greater than in both previous rounds of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Israeli military losses are also significantly higher. 
  
 Palestinian officials in Gaza said on Thursday that 8,200 people had been wounded in the four-week operation. Up to 80% of the Palestinian casualties were civilians, according to local non-government organisations and the UN. 
  
 Three civilians on the Israeli side and 56 soldiers have been killed so far. 
  
 In Gaza City, Abu Ahmed, 65, said the situation was the worst he had ever known. "I have experienced everything – the 1967 war, two intifada [uprisings]. By chance we are alive. But we don't know if we die now, today or tomorrow," the shopkeeper said. 
  
 Much of Gaza receives less than two hours of electricity a day, while medicine and safe water are increasingly scarce. Officials fear the development of health epidemics as sanitation systems break down. Some basic foodstuffs in Gaza City, such as tomatoes, now cost five times more than three weeks ago. 
  
 Valerie Amos, the UN's emergency relief coordinator, told the security council the world had watched "in horror the desperation of children and civilians that have come under attack". Philippe Krahenbul, the most senior official representing the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees, said Gaza was "facing a precipice" and "the illegal blockade of Gaza must be lifted". 
  
 The Israeli offensive, Operation Protective Edge, was launched with the stated aim of ending cross-border rocket fire from Gaza as well as destroying tunnels used by Palestinian militants to infiltrate Israel. During Operation Cast Lead in 2008-09, up to 1,400 people were killed in Gaza, according to Palestinian rights groups. In 2012's Operation Pillar of Defence, 133 Palestinians were killed. 
  
 Rockets continued to be fired from Gaza into Israel on Thursday, many originating from densely populated urban areas. Two people were wounded by rockets in the southern town of Kiryat Gat, Israeli media reported. Another eight Israelis were injured by mortar fire near the Gaza border, Haaretz reported. More than 2,800 rockets have been fired into Israel in recent weeks, according to officials. Most have been intercepted by the "Iron Dome" missile defence system. 
  
 Amos detailed attacks on more than 103 UN facilities, including one on a school on Wednesday that killed 19 people and injured more than 100. 
  
 The White House increased its public pressure on Israel to avoid further civilian deaths after concluding that its forces were likely to have been behind the shelling of a UN school full of refugees. 
  
 "The shelling of a UN facility, that is housing innocent civilians who are fleeing violence, is totally unacceptable and totally indefensible," Barack Obama's spokesman said. "It is clear that we need our allies in Israel to do more to live up to the high standards they have set themselves." 
  
 Israeli officials have said its forces were trying to avoid civilian casualties and blamed these on Hamas and other Palestinian factions who it said were embedded in urban areas. Israel said its forces were attacked by guerrillas near the UN school in northern Jabaliya and had fired back. In another incident on Wednesday, 17 people were killed in nearby Shujai'ya by what Palestinian officials said was Israeli shelling of a produce market. The Israeli military said it was investigating. 
  
 In central Gaza City on Thursday, three explosions destroyed the home of the Ramlawi family, where 50 refugees were crammed into its three storeys. 
  
 Rolling Israeli ground assaults on residential areas, preceded by mass warnings to evacuate, have displaced more than 200,000 of Gaza's 1.8 million Palestinians. Any accommodation away from the areas hit hardest by the shelling and bombing is packed with refugees. 
  
 An officer from the Israel Defence Forces phoned Mahmud Ramlawi at about 2pm to warn him of the impending strike. The 20-year-old then received five successive calls from the officer, who called himself Musa, asking if the family had evacuated the premises. "We need more time," Ramlawi said as his brothers searched for valuables and documents."He was very cool, very calm. I argued with him, I asked: 'Why destroy my house?' He said he would call me afterwards and explain," the civil servant recounted. 
  
 A warning missile was fired at the house, followed by a final call came from the officer and three successive blasts which almost levelled the home Ramlawi's father had built over 20 years. 
  
 "Why have they destroyed our house?" asked Meher Ramlawi, 35, Mahmud's brother. "Were they scared of all our wives and daughters and sisters who live there?" 
  
 Meher, whose seven-year-old daughter is in a critical condition after being caught in shellfire earlier this week, said Palestinians and Israelis could not live together. "This is a war. One side has to finish the other." 
  
 Moshe Yaalon, Israel's defence minister, said on Thursday that progress towards military goals had been satisfactory: "We are completing our treatment of the terror tunnels.During the fighting, soldiers are finding new tunnel shafts, and they are also being neutralised." 
  
 Meher Ramlawi, whose daughter, 7, is in a critical condition after being caught in shellfire earlier this week, said Palestinians and Israelis "cannot live together" "This is a war. One side has to finish the other," he said. ||||| NEW DELHI (AP) — Israel and Hamas have agreed to a humanitarian cease-fire to start Friday morning for 72 hours, the United States and United Nations announced Thursday. 
  
 In a statement released in New Delhi where Secretary of State John Kerry is traveling, the U.S. and U.N. said they had gotten assurances that all parties to the conflict in Gaza had agreed to an unconditional cease-fire during which there would be negotiations on a more durable truce in the three-week-old fighting. 
  
 "This humanitarian cease-fire will commence at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, Aug. 1, 2014. It will last for a period of 72 hours unless extended. During this time the forces on the ground will remain in place," the statement said. 
  
 "We urge all parties to act with restraint until this humanitarian cease-fire begins, and to fully abide by their commitments during the cease-fire." 
  
 The statement said the cease-fire was critical to give civilians a much-needed reprieve from violence. During this period, civilians in Gaza will receive humanitarian relief and have time to bury the dead, take care of the injured and restock food supplies. 
  
 The time also will be used to repair water and energy infrastructure. |||||

Det var inte omedelbart klart om Israel skulle fortsätta att förstöra tunnlar som användes av Hamas för att starta attacker under tredagars-luppen.

The vast majority of the victims have been civilians. It was not immediately clear whether Israel would continue to destroy tunnels used by Hamas to launch attacks during the three-day lug.
Dödssiffran i Gaza har nått 1 400 personer, och mer än 40 människor har dött efter ännu en dag av intensiv israelisk bombardering från luft, hav och land. Tollen är nu större än i båda tidigare omgångar av strider mellan Israel och Hamas. Israeliska militära förluster är också betydligt högre. Palestinska tjänstemän i Gaza sade på torsdagen att 8 200 personer hade sårats i fyraveckorsoperationen. Upp till 80 procent av de palestinska offren var civila, enligt lokala icke-statliga organisationer och FN. Tre civila på den israeliska sidan och 56 soldater har dödats hittills. I Gaza City, Abu Ahmed, 65, sade situationen var den värsta han någonsin hade vetat. "Jag har upplevt allt – kriget 1967, två intifada [uppror]. Av en slump lever vi. Men vi veta inte, om vi dö nu, i dag eller i morgon», sade butiksinnehavaren. En stor del av Gaza får mindre än två timmars elektricitet om dagen, medan det blir allt svårare att få tag på medicin och rent vatten. Tjänstemän fruktar utvecklingen av hälsoepidemier när sanitetssystemen bryts ner. Vissa baslivsmedel i Gaza City, till exempel tomater, kostade nu fem gånger mer än tre veckor sedan. Valerie Amos, FN:s katastrofhjälpssamordnare, berättade för säkerhetsrådet världen hade sett "i skräck desperationen hos barn och civila som har blivit attackerade". Philippe Krahenbul, den högste ämbetsmannen som representerar FN:s hjälporganisation för palestinska flyktingar, sade att Gaza "väntar ett stup" och "den olagliga blockaden av Gaza måste hävas". Den israeliska offensiven, Operation Protective Edge, lanserades med det uttalade målet att få slut på gränsöverskridande raketeld från Gaza samt förstöra tunnlar som användes av palestinska militanter för att infiltrera Israel. Under Operation Cast Lead 2008-09 dödades upp till 1 400 personer i Gaza, enligt palestinska rättighetsgrupper. Under 2012 års Operation Pillar of Defence dödades 133 palestinier. Raketer fortsatte att beskjutas från Gaza till Israel på torsdagen, många med ursprung från tätbefolkade stadsområden. Två personer sårades av raketer i den södra staden Kiryat Gat, israeliska medier rapporterade. Ytterligare åtta israeler skadades av granateld nära gränsen till Gaza, rapporterade Haaretz. Mer än 2.800 raketer har avfyrats mot Israel under de senaste veckorna, enligt myndigheterna. De flesta har avlyssnats av missilförsvarssystemet "Iron Dome". Amos detaljerade attacker mot mer än 103 FN-anläggningar, däribland en på en skola på onsdag som dödade 19 personer och skadade mer än 100. Vita huset ökade sitt offentliga tryck på Israel för att undvika ytterligare civila dödsfall efter att ha dragit slutsatsen att dess styrkor sannolikt låg bakom beskjutningen av en FN-skola full av flyktingar. "Att beskjuta en FN-anläggning, det vill säga att inhysa oskyldiga civila som flyr från våld, är helt oacceptabelt och helt oförsvarligt", sade Barack Obamas talesman. "Det är tydligt att vi behöver våra allierade i Israel för att göra mer för att leva upp till de höga normer de har satt upp." Israeliska tjänstemän har sagt att dess styrkor försökte undvika civila offer och skyllde dessa på Hamas och andra palestinska fraktioner som de sade var inbäddade i stadsområden. Israel sade att dess styrkor attackerades av gerillasoldater nära FN-skolan i norra Jabaliya och hade skjutit tillbaka. I en annan incident i onsdags dödades 17 personer i närliggande Shujai'ya av vad palestinska tjänstemän sade var israelisk beskjutning av en produktmarknad. Den israeliska militären sa att den undersökte. I centrala Gaza City på torsdagen förstörde tre explosioner familjen Ramlawis hem, där 50 flyktingar trängdes in i sina tre våningar. Överfall på Israels mark mot bostadsområden, föregångna av massvarningar om evakuering, har fördrivit mer än 200 000 av Gazas 1,8 miljoner palestinier. Alla boende från de områden som drabbats hårdast av bombningen och bombningen är fullproppad med flyktingar. En officer från Israels försvarsmakt ringde Mahmud Ramlawi omkring 14.00 för att varna honom för den förestående strejken. 20-åringen fick då fem på varandra följande samtal från officeren, som kallade sig Musa, och frågade om familjen hade evakuerat lokalerna. "Vi behöver mer tid", sa Ramlawi när hans bröder letade efter värdesaker och dokument. "Han var väldigt cool, väldigt lugn. Jag grälade med honom och frågade: 'Varför förstöra mitt hus?' Han sade att han skulle ringa mig efteråt och förklara", berättade statstjänstemannen. En varningsmissil avfyrades mot huset, följt av ett sista samtal kom från officeren och tre på varandra följande sprängningar som nästan jämnade hemmet Ramlawis far hade byggt över 20 år. "Varför har de förstört vårt hus?" frågade Meher Ramlawi, 35, Mahmuds broder. "Var de rädda för alla våra fruar och döttrar och systrar som bor där?" Meher, vars sjuåriga dotter befinner sig i ett kritiskt tillstånd efter att ha hamnat i granateld tidigare i veckan, sade att palestinier och israeler inte kunde leva tillsammans. "Det här är ett krig. Den ena sidan måste avsluta den andra." Moshe Yaalon, Israels försvarsminister, sade på torsdagen att framstegen mot militära mål hade varit tillfredsställande: "Vi avslutar vår behandling av terrortunnlarna.Under striderna hittar soldater nya tunnelschakt, och de neutraliseras också." Meher Ramlawi, vars dotter, 7 år, befinner sig i ett kritiskt tillstånd efter att ha hamnat i granateld tidigare i veckan, sade palestinier och israeler "kan inte leva tillsammans" "Detta är ett krig. Den ena sidan måste avsluta den andra", sade han. .– NEW DELHI (AP) – Israel och Hamas har gått med på ett humanitärt eldupphör som ska börja på fredag morgon i 72 timmar, USA och Förenta nationerna tillkännagav torsdagen. I ett uttalande som släpptes i New Delhi där utrikesminister John Kerry reser sade USA och FN att de hade fått försäkringar om att alla parter i konflikten i Gaza hade gått med på ett villkorslöst eldupphör under vilket det skulle bli förhandlingar om en mer varaktig vapenvila i de tre veckor gamla striderna. "Detta humanitära vapenstillestånd kommer att inledas kl. 08.00 lokal tid fredagen den 1 augusti 2014. Den varar i 72 timmar om den inte förlängs. Under denna tid kommer krafterna på marken att förbli på plats", sade uttalandet. "Vi uppmanar alla parter att agera med återhållsamhet tills detta humanitära eldupphör börjar och att fullt ut hålla sina åtaganden under vapenvilan." Uttalandet sa att vapenvilan var avgörande för att ge civila ett välbehövligt uppskov från våld. Under denna period kommer civila i Gaza att få humanitär hjälp och ha tid att begrava de döda, ta hand om de skadade och fylla på matförråd. Tiden kommer också att användas för att reparera vatten- och energiinfrastruktur. Â°°
