The Hamas-run local authority said about 100,000 people are still living in the camp without a functioning hospital and at risk of starvation.

The attack came as Israel announced the death of three more soldiers, which brings the total to 87 since the war started.

And they revealed the organs of one dead commando has saved the lives of four civilians.

In Jabalia, residents have received no aid since the collapse of the truce last week.

Hanan Alturok, 56, a mother of eight, said: "During the ceasefire we moved to the hospital, we thought it's safer than my house but yesterday the shells were landing inside the place and we had to flee under fire.
