Israel-Hamas war: Israel says it issues evacuation orders and warnings so civilians can get to safety before military activity, but Zeyad Awad said there was no advisory before the strike.
Residents of Gaza's Al-Maghazi refugee camp returned to their neighbourhood on Monday only to find blocks of concrete strewn where their homes had stood just a day ago.
"These houses are destroyed. Our house was bombed," said camp resident Abu Rami Abu al-Ais amid the debris.
"There's no safe place in the Gaza Strip."
Late on Sunday three houses in the camp were hit by Israeli air strikes that killed at least 70 people, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. AFP was unable to independently verify the information.

"What should we do? We are civilians, living peacefully and wanting only safety and security," he said.
"Yet we are suddenly struck by Israeli warplanes without any warning."
