Gaza's government media office has said that 16,000 of the 39,000 people that have been killed by Israel in its war on Gaza are children.
The office added it had registered the deaths of 34 children from malnutrition, and that the figure includes 10,859 women who have been killed.
At least 77 Palestinians have been killed and 200 wounded in Israel's new offensive on Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip, according to reports from Palestinian news agency Wafa.
With Israel's reinvasion of the city and its surrounding area upwards of 400,000 Palestinians have been displaced, according to Gaza's civil defence. The evacuation zone includes parts of Al-Mawasi, which was previously designated a "humanitarian zone" by Israel.
Additionally, the UN has warned that the Nasser Medical Complex "faces a new mass casualty influx, amid a dire lack of blood units, medical supplies and hospital beds" as a result on renewed strikes on Khan Younis.
"Frequent evacuation orders and relentless hostilities continue to further devastate Gaza's health system and make it increasingly difficult for repeatedly displaced populations to access essential services, particularly people suffering from chronic diseases," the UN added.
Israel's indiscriminate war on Gaza has devastated the territory, killing 39,090 Palestinians, wounding a further 90,147 and displacing most of the enclave's population.
