A Palestinian girl who fled an Israeli ground offensive and air strikes, stands near makeshift tents in the garden of the Shifa hospital in Gaza City July 31, 2014. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing international alarm over a rising civilian death toll in Gaza, said on Thursday he would not accept any ceasefire that stopped Israel completing the destruction of militants' infiltration tunnels. Gaza officials say at least 1,394 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed in the battered territory and nearly 7,000 wounded. Fifty-six Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza clashes and more than 400 wounded. Three civilians have been killed by Palestinian shelling in Israel. Israel launched its offensive in response to rocket salvoes fired by Gaza's dominant Hamas Islamists and their allies.

Palestinian boys, who fled houses following Israeli offensive, play soccer as they take refuge at a United Nations-run school in Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip July 31, 2014. The United Nations in Gaza is struggling to withstand a flood of almost a quarter of a million refugees into shelters that have repeatedly come under Israeli fire. Eight U.N. employees have been killed since Israel launched its offensive on July 8 after rocket fire from Gaza intensified. U.N. shelters have been bombed by Israel on six separate occasions, including in another shelling of a U.N. shelter last week that killed 15 people. Israel said its forces had come under fire from the vicinity of the school on Wednesday and responded. It denies targeting civilians and says militants use innocents as human shields and their neighbourhoods as firing positions.

A group of children walk with bagpiper Terry Aleshire as he plays his bagpipe during a celebration event at Drakes Bay Oyster Company in Inverness, California July 31, 2014. The third-generation, family-owned oyster farm will be forced to shut its oyster shack and cannery on July 31 after losing a 19 month legal battle with the federal government. The Department of the Interior declined to renew the farm's lease in efforts to restore the area, also known as Drakes Estero within the Point Reyes National Seashore, to a state of marine wilderness as designated by the U.S. Congress in 1976. The case was denied an appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 30 which upheld a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule against the oyster company. However, the farm's harvesting operations will be permitted to continue for at least another 30 days after a group of local restaurants and businesses filed a new lawsuit and forged an agreement with the National Park Service to allow it to harvest until the court's ruling on the injunction.
