A spokesperson for Gaza's health ministry told reporters on Saturday that Israel's bombardment overnight had turned the enclave into a "ball of fire".
Ashraf al-Qudra said the heavy Israeli bombardment had killed at least 377 more Palestinians in designated safe areas.
His statement to the press came shortly after new figures released by the ministry putting the death toll since 7 October at 7,703.
Qudra added that the Gaza Strip's health system was paralysed and called for international help, as well as for medical students and retired nurses to come forward.
