At least 123 Palestinians were also wounded in Israeli attacks in last 24 hours, according to the devastated enclave's health ministry.

Israel carried out deadly air strikes in the Gaza Strip as the war entered its tenth month on Sunday amid fresh diplomatic efforts under way to halt the violence.

According to Gaza's health ministry on Sunday, at least 55 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip in the past day, raising the overall death toll to 38,153 people since October of last year.

The ministry added that 87,828 people have also been wounded in the Israeli onslaught.

This comes as the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that the bodies of six people, including two children, who were killed in Israeli strikes had arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah.

Paramedics also said that six people had been killed in an Israeli strike on a house in a northern area of Gaza City.

The day before, the health ministry in Gaza said 16 people had been killed in a strike on a school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) that was sheltering displaced people in Nuseirat, in central Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israel has said it will send a delegation in the coming days to continue truce talks with Qatari mediators that began recently in Doha.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman said "gaps" remained with Hamas on how to secure a ceasefire and hostage release deal.

"It was agreed that next week Israeli negotiators will travel to Doha to continue the talks. There are still gaps between the parties," the spokesman said in a statement on Friday.
