The UN Security Council has scheduled an emergency meeting on Israel's land occupation of Gaza.
The meeting will take place on Monday afternoon at the request of the United Arab Emirates.
Qatar-brokered negotiations between Israel and Hamas aimed at de-escalating fighting in Gaza continued on Saturday.
"The talks are taking place at a 'much slower pace' than before the escalation of the war," a source told Reuters.
Israeli airstrikes have hit areas around Gaza's largest hospital, destroying roads leading to the facility, which is a major shelter for Palestinians fleeing Israeli bombardment.
The Israeli military has repeated claims that senior Hamas leaders and operatives have built underground bunkers beneath the Shifa hospital and accused the militant group of using civilians as human shields.
Israel has produced no evidence and Hamas denies the claims.
A resident of Gaza, Abdallah Sayed, described the Israeli air and ground attacks in the past two days as "the most violent and intense" since the beginning of the war.
