More than 35 people have been killed in Israeli strikes and gunfire since the early hours of Saturday morning, hospital sources in Gaza say.
A strike on a house in central Gaza left at least 11 people dead - more than half of them women and children - according to officials at al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City.
Health workers said nine members of the same family were among those killed in an Israeli strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp, and at least six people are reported to have been killed while seeking aid in central and southern Gaza.
It comes a day after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations that Israel must finish the job against Hamas.
The Israeli air force states it has targeted approximately 120 sites across the Strip since Friday, including what it describes as buildings used by terror groups, terror operatives and other infrastructure.
The offensive is concentrated on Gaza City, identified as Hamas's last stronghold. Hundreds of thousands of residents have evacuated, yet many remain trapped in dire conditions with collapsing health services.
As fighting escalates, international cries for a ceasefire are growing, although Israel maintains pressure on Hamas to enforce its surrender demand. In recent discussions, US President Donald Trump has expressed optimism towards negotiating a ceasefire while Israel continues to pursue its military agenda.
As we witness the unfolding crisis, many in both Gaza and Israel hope for an end to the violence as the situation becomes increasingly unmanageable.
