According to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry, an Israeli air attack in the central Al-Maghazi refugee camp killed at least 70 individuals.
Given the high number of families in the neighborhood, the death toll is certain to grow, according to a spokesman.
It comes as Israeli and Arab media report that Egypt, which borders the Gaza strip, has proposed a fresh ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Dozens of injured individuals were carried from Maghazi to the neighboring Al-Aqsa Hospital.
The Health Ministry says three houses were hit in the attack late on Sunday.
According to Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra, a densely populated residential block was destroyed.
A father said he had lost his daughter and grandchildren, adding that his family had fled from the north for safety in central Gaza.
The Health Ministry, says more than 20,000 people have been killed mostly children and women – and 54,000 injured in Gaza since 7 October, when Hamas and other Palestinian groups attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 hostages.
