Israel's pounding of Gaza has continued into a sixth day, despite international calls for a ceasefire. The UN's secretary general Ban Ki-moon is heading to Cairo to join talks about a possible truce. 86 Palestinians and three Israelis have died in six days, as Israel hits Gaza from the sea and air while Hamas militants fire rockets. Sunday was the bloodiest day so far in Israel's Operation Pillar of Defence. Israel's army said it had targeted around 80 sites overnight, including militant-owned buildings, weapons storage facilities and police stations, bringing its total to 1,350 sites targeted since Wednesday. Palestinian sources have said 18 people were killed in these raids.
