Israel denies it is responsible for shortages of food - but aid groups have accused its government of creating "chaos, starvation, and death".
Israel's military on Tuesday responded to accusations by the World Health Organization (WHO) that its forces attacked the UN agency's facilities in central Gaza and detained staff members. The military said soldiers came under fire in the city of Deir al-Balah on Monday and returned fire in the direction the shots originated.
Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.
Health authorities say Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 21 people. More than half of those killed late Tuesday and early Wednesday reportedly were women and children.
Israel's ambassador hit back at Anthony Albanese's statement, considered to contain his strongest language so far on the suffering in Gaza. It comes as some urge the government to take more action against Israel.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said that its staff accommodation and main warehouse in Deir al-Balah were subject to multiple Israeli attacks, including storming the building, forcing women and children to evacuate.
