The United Nations is facing scrutiny after lowering its counts of Palestinian women and children killed since Israel began bombing Gaza in its seven-month war against Hamas.
A day of national mourning was interrupted by hecklers who blamed government officials for failing to secure the release of hostages still being held by Hamas.
Israeli forces pushed deep into the ruins of Gaza's northern edge on Monday to recapture an area from Hamas fighters, while in the south, tanks and troops pushed across a highway into Rafah, leaving Palestinian civilians scrambling to find safety.
Palestinian families were seen leaving the urban Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza after the area came under renewed intense Israeli bombardment. Many told an NBC News team that it was the latest in a series of displacements since Israeli troops invaded.
