Israel is escalating its bombardment of targets in the Gaza Strip ahead of an expected ground invasion against Hamas militants.
More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians who died in the initial Hamas rampage.
In addition, 222 people including foreigners were believed captured by Hamas during the incursion and taken into Gaza, Israel's military has said.
UNRWA said it found shrapnel in its facilities in the Bureij camp and in Nuseirat in central Gaza from Israel’s bombardment of nearby areas Sunday.
Israel said Monday it struck 320 militant targets throughout the besieged Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours.
