Gazan authorities and an official at a nearby hospital blamed it on an Israeli airstrike - but the Israeli military is to confirm if it was targeting the area.
Dozens of people were killed and injured in a blast at the Al-Maghazi refugee camp on in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to a hospital official and the Gaza Health Ministry, in what they claim was an Israeli airstrike.
Over the last four weeks, at least 9,448 Palestinians have died - most of them women and children - and the Israeli death toll stands at 1,400, according to their respective health ministries. A spokesperson for the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said at least 33 people were killed and 42 were wounded in the strike. He said first responders, aided by residents, were searching the rubble for dead or possible survivors.
Avichay Adraee, an IDF spokesperson, said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "If you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions. Rest assured that Hamas leaders are already taking care to protect themselves." This comes after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his Arab counterparts on Saturday. He disagreed with them on the need for an immediate cease-fire and made clear the furthest he would go was backing a pause for aid to reach civilians in Gaza.
