The Palestinian territory's Hamas-run health ministry blamed an Israeli strike and said five critically injured foreign workers had arrived in hospital. Israel's military denied striking the UN compound in Deir al-Balah.

It comes after Israel said it was resuming fighting in Gaza following a two-month ceasefire - launching a wave of strikes that killed more than 400 people, according to Gaza's health ministry.

On Tuesday, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it had "resumed combat in full force".

The UN initially said two of its workers had been killed but later clarified that the second person was not a staff member.
