Protests erupted in different parts of the world after Israel killed a group of journalists in Gaza in a targeted airstrike over the weekend.
Most of the population in the region has been displaced by Israel's air and ground offensive, with malnutrition rates reaching alarming levels.
As mediators in the Middle East are rushing to reach a new Gaza deal that's set to see the release of all captives, Hamas' leader is due to appear in the Egytian capital of Cairo to revive stalled talks.
Hundreds of protestors waving Palestinian flags rallied in the German capital of Berlin following the deaths of several Al Jazeera correspondents in Gaza.
28-year-old journalist Anas al-Sharif alongside four of his colleagues lost their lives in Sunday's targeted Israeli attack on a tent near Shifa Hospital.
Israel on Sunday repeated its claim that al-Sharif headed a Hamas cell, an allegation that Al Jazeera has rejected.
Health officials reported at least 55 people across the Gaza Strip died under Israeli gunfire overnight and into Monday.
Over 15 were killed while waiting for aid at the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza, bringing the death toll of aid seekers to more than 1,700 people since the new aid distribution system began in May.
Separately, a video shows the moment when an Israeli settler fired bullets at unarmed Palestinians in the occupied West Bank last month.
Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen, who was standing and filming, was killed in the incident.
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem released the footage, saying the killing is "another horrific example" of how Palestinians are currently living without any protection, fully exposed to Israeli violence.
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty says his country is working with Qatar and the U.S. to secure a comprehensive agreement to end the war.
He said the prospective ceasefire arrangement is expected to include the release of all hostages and guarantee the entry of aid.
Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya will reportedly be in Cairo for talks.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Tuesday lashed out at the stopping of aid and military offensive by the Netanyahu government, and said the Israeli leader is in "denial" about the consequences to Gazans.
He said: "I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu. He again reiterated to me what he has said publicly as well, which is to be in denial about the consequences that are occurring for innocent people."
The remarks came a day after he announced Australia will join a list of other countries to recognise Palestine's statehood.
Albanese called the two-state solution that his government has been pushing for as the best path to ending violence and bringing leadership other than Hamas to Gaza.
Albanese stated: "And in the lead up to the September meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, what you're seeing is countries like France, the United Kingdom, Canada, other countries as well will be joining, saying that we need as an international community to build that momentum to a breaking of this cycle of violence."
