The death toll in Gaza since dawn on Sunday has risen to 144, according to medical authorities in the besieged enclave.
The chief of Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, also said a "gruesome milestone" has been reached as the death toll of Unrwa workers killed in Gaza passed 300.
"The vast majority of staff were killed by the Israeli Army with their children & loved ones: whole families wiped out," Phillippe Lazzarini said.
"Several were killed in the line of duty while serving their communities. Those killed were mostly UN health workers & teachers, supporting their communities."
