At least 67 Palestinians have been killed and scores more were injured while waiting for aid in Gaza, according to hospital officials.
The latest deaths occurred in al Sudaniya in northern Gaza, the director of the al Shifa hospital said.
Four hospitals in the area reported multiple casualties being brought in, including 45 fatalities at al Shifa.
In recent weeks hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while waiting for food and aid.
On Saturday Israeli troops were accused of killing at least 32 people in the Teina area of the Gaza Strip.
It comes as the Israeli military issued evacuation orders on Sunday in areas of central Gaza packed with
displaced Palestinians where it hasn’t operated so far in its war with Hamas.
The military evacuation demand, which could signal an imminent attack on neighbourhoods in Deir al Balah, alarmed the families of Israeli hostages, who fear their relatives are being held there.

Meanwhile, Pope Leo called for an end to the “barbarity of war” on Sunday as he spoke of his profound pain over an Israeli strike on the only Catholic church in Gaza on Thursday.
The attack killed three people and wounded 10, including the parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli, who developed a close friendship with the late Pope Francis, and was back at the Holy Family Catholic Church for Mass on Sunday.
The strike drew condemnation from the pope and US President Donald Trump, and prompted statements of regret from Israel, which said it was an accident.
