        Thousands of people are trapped in Gaza's Jabalia camp as Israeli forces attack the area, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) said on Friday, a week after Israel launched an offensive there which it says is aimed at stopping Hamas regrouping.
        
        At least 13 Palestinians were killed late on Friday by Israeli strikes on a home in Jabalia, damaging several homes in its vicinity, medics told Reuters.
        
        Israeli military strikes killed at least 54 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Friday, the medics added. Nearly half of the fatalities, including the 13 killed at the home, occurred in Jabalia, the northern district which is the largest of Gaza's historic refugee camps.
        
        The Israeli military says it has killed dozens of militants in Jabalia, though it remains unclear how many of the dead were civilians rather than fighters.
