The health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza has urged the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) or Egypt to ensure the safe exit of the wounded from the enclave.
"We call on the ICRC to provide a safe passage for the wounded, accompany them and ensure their safe arrival to the Rafah land crossing until they are discharged to hospitals in Egypt," the spokesman for the ministry of health said.
He said another option could be for Egypt to let Egyptian ambulances enter Gaza and transport the wounded from the enclave's hospitals to Egyptian hospitals "to ensure their safe exit".
It comes as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Gazans "must not be forcibly displaced", speaking on a surprise visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank to meet Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.
It was Mr Blinken's first visit to the Palestinian territory since war erupted between Israel and Hamas following the 7 October attack on Israel that killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli officials.
Gaza health officials said more than 9,770 Palestinians have been killed in the war.
"The Secretary reaffirmed the United States' commitment to the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance and resumption of essential services in Gaza and made clear that Palestinians must not be forcibly displaced," said a summary of the meeting released by the US State Department.
Mr Abbas condemned what he labelled a "genocide" in comments to Mr Blinken, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
"I have no words to describe the genocide and destruction suffered by our Palestinian people in Gaza at the hands of Israel's war machine, with no regard for the principles of international law," Mr Abbas was quoted as saying.
Mr Blinken flew into Tel Aviv this morning and travelled in a high-security convoy to the Ramallah headquarters of the Palestinian Authority - the body which, he recently said, should replace the Hamas government in Gaza.
He is the second high-ranking Western visitor to the West Bank since the war started, following French President Emmanuel Macron.
A spokesman for the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said earlier that Israeli military had struck the Maghazi refugee camp overnight, killing at least 47 people.
In a separate attack, 21 Palestinians from one family, including women and children, were killed in Israeli strikes targeting Gaza overnight, the health ministry said.
Reuters could not independently verify these accounts.
"We demand that you stop them from committing these crimes immediately," Mr Abbas told Mr Blinken, demanding an "immediate ceasefire" from Israel.
Foreign ministers from Qatar, Saudi, Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates met Mr Blinken in Amman, Jordan, yesterday and also pushed for Washington to convince Israel to agree to a ceasefire.
But Mr Blinken has dismissed the idea, saying it would only benefit Hamas, allowing it to regroup and attack again. Instead, the United States are pushing for localised pauses in fighting to allow in humanitarian aid and for people to leave the densely populated terroritory.
"The Secretary reaffirmed the United States' commitment to the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance and resumption of essential services in Gaza and made clear that Palestinians must not be forcibly displaced," spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
Mr Abbas has had little sway in Gaza since the Hamas takeover of the enclave in 2007.
Israel says it is targeting Hamas, not civilians, and that the Islamist Palestinian group is using residents as human shields.
Evacuations of injured Gazans and foreign passport holders through the Rafah crossing to Egypt have been suspended since yesterday, two Egyptian security sources and a medical source told Reuters.
One of the security sources and the medical source said the evacuations were suspended after an Israeli strike on Friday on an ambulance in Gaza being used to transport injured people.
Israel continued to strike Gaza by air, sea, and ground overnight.
Gaza health officials said Israeli air strikes destroyed a cluster of houses in the Maghazi refugee camp. Asked for comment, the Israeli military said they were waiting and gathering details.
Reuters footage showed people searching through rubble for victims or survivors at the refugee camp in central Gaza. One man, crying, was being embraced by others.
Mohammad Al-Aloul, a photographer for Turkish news agency Anadolu, said he lost his four children, four of his brothers and their children in the strike, which destroyed his house.
"I was doing my job when I heard that an Israeli air strike targeted a residential district in Maghazi and that there are martyrs and injured," Mr Al-Aloul told Reuters.
"I arrived in hospital and found out that my four children, including my only daughter, were martyred."
The Palestinian Red Crescent said there was also intense bombardment, violent artillery explosions, and air strikes in the vicinity of the Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza's Tal Al-Hawa area.
US special envoy David Satterfield said in Amman yesterday that 800,000 to a million people had moved south, while 350,000 to 400,000 remained in and around Gaza City.
Living conditions in Gaza, already dire before the war, have deteriorated. Food is scarce, residents are drinking salty water and medical services are collapsing.
The UN humanitarian office estimates that nearly 1.5 million of Gaza's 2.3 million people are internally displaced.
West Bank violence worsens
Meanwhile, worsening violence in the Israeli-occupied Wes tBank has fuelled concerns that the flashpoint Palestinian territory could become a third front in a wider war, in addition to Israel's northern border, where clashes with Lebanese Hezbollah forces have mounted.
In Abu Dis, a Palestinian village near Jerusalem, Israeli police conducting an arrest raid were fired on by a gunman and killed him, a police spokesperson said.
The Palestinian health ministry said three Palestinians were killed in the incident, which it described as clashes with Israeli forces. Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Hebron, the ministry said. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on that.
Mr Blinken and Mr Abbas "discussed efforts to restore calm and stability in the West Bank, including the need to stop extremist violence against Palestinians and hold those accountable responsible," spokesperson Mr Miller said.
This year had already been the deadliest for West Bank residents in at least 15 years, with some 200 Palestinians and 26 Israelis killed, according to UN data. Since the war in Gaza began, 121 West Bank Palestinians have been killed.
Israel last month ordered all civilians to leave the northern part of the Gaza Strip and its military has since encircled Gaza City, where it is engaged in fierce street fighting with Hamas militants.
Israeli planes dropped leaflets on Gaza's biggest city, ordering people to move south through the Salah Al-Deen Road.
"Time has come, the state of Israel asks you to preserve your lives and to evacuate your homes from the areas of fighting," the leaflets said.
Israel's assault and siege have stirred global alarm at humanitarian conditions in the narrow coastal enclave.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators staged protests yesterday in cities including London, Berlin, Paris, Istanbul and Jakarta, calling for a ceasefire. Tens of thousands gathered in Washington to denounce President Joe Biden's war policy and demand a ceasefire.
In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi reaffirmed the government's support for the struggle of the Palestinian people in front of tens of thousands gathered in Jakarta.
Speaking in Shanghai, Mohammad Mokhber, Iran's first vice president, called Israeli actions "a war crime".
Mr Blinken is to visit Turkey tomorrow for talks on the conflict, continuing his second trip to the region since the conflict reignited.
