UK MP Layla Moran says she has several relatives who are trapped in a church in Gaza as Israeli forces operate nearby.
She says no food is getting into the Holy Family church complex in Gaza city, where hundreds of civilians - including dozens of disabled people are sheltering.
"No one can go in and out. They are absolutely terrified," Moran told the BBC.
Her relatives and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem say a mother and daughter were killed inside the Holy Family Church complex on Saturday by what appeared to be sniper fire.

..."Ms Moran says she has been in touch with a number of countries about getting her relatives out of Gaza, but the situation is "incredibly complex".
She adds that the family have considered trying to travel to Rafah in southern Gaza near the border with Egypt but say it is too dangerous while no ceasefire is in place.
Hamas broke through Israel's heavily guarded perimeter on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages - some of whom were released during the brief truce.
The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, says more than 18,700 people have been killed and 50,000 injured in the enclave since the start of the Gaza war."
