Palestinian health officials said Israeli strikes killed 19 people in Gaza on Sunday, including six children, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pushes for a ceasefire.
Health officials told Reuters that the children and their mother were killed in an Israeli strike on a house in the town of Deir al-Balah.
"There is nothing left to us but the sea," said Tamer al-Burai, who lives in Deir al-Balah with several extended family members.
"We are tired of displacement. People are being pushed into narrow areas in Deir al-Balah and al-Mawasi, which have become pressure cookers," Burai told Reuters via a chat app, adding that tanks were just 1.5 km (0.9 miles) away.
"No one knows where to go if the tanks keep coming."
