Several houses in the northern Jabalia area of Gaza were reportedly destroyed in overnight Israeli strikes.
According to foreign media, at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza, a local hospital says.
An Indonesian hospital reported that 22 children and 15 women were among the dead after a number of houses in the town of Jabalia and a refugee camp were hit overnight. A video shared online appeared to show at least a dozen bodies there.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports. It had warned residents of Jabalia and neighboring areas to evacuate on Tuesday after a Palestinian armed group fired rockets into Israel, A2 CNN reports.
This came as the UN humanitarian chief called on UN Security Council members to take action to "prevent genocide" in Gaza.
Speaking at a meeting in New York on Tuesday, Tom Fletcher accused Israel of "deliberately and shamelessly imposing inhumane conditions on civilians."
He also called on Israel to lift the 10-week blockade of Gaza and criticized the Israeli-American plan to take over the distribution of humanitarian aid using private companies, saying it was a "fig leaf for further violence and displacement" of Palestinians, writes A2 CNN.
Israel's UN envoy, Danny Danon, said the allegations were "baseless and outrageous."
He insisted that the existing aid system was "broken" because it was being used to help Hamas' war effort - an accusation that both the UN and the armed group have denied. (A2 Televizion)
