Meanwhile, 12 people in Israel, including a five-year-old boy, a 16-year-old girl and a soldier, have also been killed.
The fighting was triggered by violence in Jerusalem and Israel has since carried out hundreds of airstrikes across Gaza, which is home to more than two million Palestinians.
Last Friday, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City that housed offices of The Associated Press and other media outlets.
The building s owner is said to have received a warning by Israeli forces prior to the attack, which allowed those inside to be evacuated in time.
Out of the â¬1.5 million in emergency support, â¬1 million will be allocated by Ireland to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides emergency food, water and sanitation supplies to Palestine refugees, as well as health and psychosocial services for 50,000 people sheltering in UNRWA-run schools.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has discussed the cyberattack on the health service with his Russian counterpart.
Ransomware linked to a Russian crime gang was used in last week’s attack.
A spokesman for Mr Coveney said there the hacking of the health service was briefly discussed with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday during a scheduled call related to UN Security Council business.
Department of Health hit by cyberattack similar to that on HSE Gardaí strongly suspect the same criminal gang is involved in both ransomware attacks

The Department of Health has been targeted in a cyberattack, similar to that on the Health Service Executive (HSE), prompting the shutting down of much of its IT infrastructure.
Garda sources said the attack appeared to be financially motivated and, like the HSE attack, appeared to be from a gang using ransomware to encrypt files until a ransom was paid.
Gardaí said the manner and infrastructure used in the attack was being reviewed by the Garda force and also by international policing agencies via Europol.
