Israeli planes have attacked more than 60 targets in Gaza as its offensive against Hamas continues.
The strikes reportedly came as Israeli troops advanced into the suburbs of Gaza City.
Palestinians say more than 90,000 people have left their homes to escape the bombing.
Meanwhile, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross Jacob Kellenberger is expected to go to the main Shifa hospital in Gaza City to see patients and medical teams.
He also intends to hold talks with senior Israeli and Palestinian officials.
The United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, is also due in the region on Wednesday to push for a truce.
He is calling for Israel and Palestinian militants to immediately halt the fighting in Gaza.
