The latest attacks also left at least 145 others injured, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported, citing medical sources.
"Since dawn today, the occupation's air strikes have killed 20 people and injured dozens more, including children and women across the Gaza Strip," said Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the civil defence agency, in comments to AFP.
Later on Sunday, the agency reported that five people were killed in an Israeli drone strike targeting a group of civilians in eastern Rafah, AFP reported.
The Israeli army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on 18 March, following a two-month ceasefire that had paused over 15 months of war on the Palestinian territory.
On Saturday, Gaza's health ministry said Israeli strikes had killed more than 90 people over the previous 48 hours, as Israeli forces intensified attacks across the war-ravaged strip.
Israel has vowed to intensify attacks across Gaza and created so-called large "security zones" inside the strip. For six weeks, Israel has also blockaded Gaza, barring the entry of food, medicines and all other goods.
Aid agencies have raised the alarm this week, warning that thousands of children are suffering from malnutrition, and that most residents are surviving on less than one meal a day, according to the United Nations.
Since Israel resumed its war on Gaza last month, it has killed at least 1,783 people and injured 4,683 others.
The overall death toll now stands at 51,201 -- primarily women and children -- with more than 116,869 others wounded, the health ministry said, in figures the UN considers reliable.
The war has devastated much of Gaza, destroying key infrastructure and food production capacity, and displacing around 90 percent of the population. Hundreds of thousands of people are now living in tent camps and bombed-out buildings.
