Five more people were killed and others injured after Israeli forces bombed another house west of al-Shuhada Square, also in the Shati refugee camp.

Israeli forces are also continuing to demolish buildings and homes using explosive robots in the city, according to Al Jazeera reporters on the ground.

We will bring you more information when we have it.

Fear is spreading that an Israeli strike on a Gaza City high-rise building on Friday signals a new stage of its ethnic cleansing campaign in the north of the besieged enclave.

• A recap of recent developments

  Here’s what you need to know:

  • Israeli forces killed more than 50 Palestinians across Gaza on Friday, including at least seven children, during attacks on besieged Gaza City.
  • Israel’s assault on the northern urban centre continued into the early hours of Saturday, with deadly attacks on Palestinian homes reported in the Shati refugee camp.
  • Amnesty International warned Israel’s escalating assault on Gaza City will have “catastrophic and irreversible consequences” for Palestinians.
  • When asked about the status of truce negotiations, President Donald Trump said the United States is in “very deep negotiations with Hamas”. He added that things will get “nasty” if the Palestinian group doesn’t return the remaining Israeli captives in Gaza.
  • World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has urged Israel to stop the “catastrophe” of people starving to death in Gaza, saying at least 370 people have died from malnutrition since the war began.
  • Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot says the European Union’s credibility on foreign policy is “collapsing” because of the bloc’s failure to act over Israel’s war on Gaza.
