Arab-American women carry signs and wave Palestinian flags as they protest against Israeli military strikes on Gaza, during a demonstration in Detroit
Arab-American women carry signs and wave Palestinian flags as they protest against Israeli military strikes on Gaza, during a demonstration in downtown Detroit Michigan July 13, 2014. Thousands fled their homes in a Gaza town on Sunday after Israel warned them to leave ahead of threatened attacks on rocket-launching sites, on the sixth day of an offensive that Palestinian officials said has killed at least 160 people. Militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip kept up rockets salvoes deep into the Jewish state and the worst bout of Israel-Palestinian bloodshed in two years showed no signs of abating, and Western foreign ministers meeting on Sunday said a ceasefire was an urgent priority.

Palestinian women are pictured through a damaged house in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip
Palestinian women are pictured through a damaged house as they walk on the rubble of a neighbouring house, which police said was destroyed in an Israeli air strike in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip July 13, 2014. Israel's offensive has killed 145 Palestinians since Tuesday. Gaza medical officials said at least 82 civilians, including 25 children, were among the dead from the air strikes on the territory into which nearly 2 million people are packed. The most recent hostilities were sparked three weeks ago by the kidnapping of three Jewish students in the occupied West Bank, who were later found dead. Then a teenage Palestinian was kidnapped and his burned body found in a Jerusalem forest. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa (GAZA - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST)
