Morning mail: Palestinian death toll passes 200, calls to open borders, closet to cash

Tuesday: Israel signals airstrikes will continue as the international community pushes for ceasefire. Plus: the complete guide to selling secondhand fashion

Good morning. There are no signs of the violence in Gaza easing, as pressure is growing on the international governments, including Australia, to take stronger action against many of the world's conflicts. Australia is also facing calls to take a tougher line on Myanmar, with demands for sanctions on coup leaders. And there is increasing pressure for Australia to open its borders to the world sooner rather than later.

Two hundred Palestinians, including 59 children, have been killed during a week of attacks in Gaza as Benjamin Netanyahu signalled Israel's bombardment would rage on despite mounting global pressure to stop the bloodshed. The attacks have left Gaza's hospitals strained, and the deaths of doctors have further hit medical services struggling with damaged facilities and medicine shortages. The violence has seen regional unity splinter over who is to blame and what should be done to stop the fighting. While some states with Muslim majorities have accused Israel of incitement at the al-Aqsa mosque and committing atrocities in Gaza, other countries that followed suit during previous flare-ups have this time been more restrained.
