In the central Nuseirat area, al-Awda Hospital said 30 people, including 14 women and 12 children, were killed in attacks on homes overnight and on Tuesday morning.
Many of those killed were related, with 19 named as members of the Abu Ataya, Siyam and Nabhan families.
Four members of the al-Agha family were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced individuals in the coastal area of Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, according to Nasser Hospital.
Nine others were killed in Khan Younis, local hospital sources and witnesses say.
In Gaza City, two people were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli missile strike on an apartment belonging to the al-Batsh family, Al-Shifa Hospital said. A later strike killed five members of one family.
Rescuers have been struggling to reach casualties from another strike.
Al-Awda Hospital also said at least 14 people had been killed and more than 100 injured by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) near an aid distribution point in the central part of the Strip.
The BBC has asked the IDF for comment about the incidents.
The UN says more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military while trying to get food since 27 May. Most were near distribution sites run by Israeli- and US-backed organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which started operations in late May, and others near UN and other aid convoys.
Tuesday's incident was related to aid convoys and not a GHF site.
Israel says its troops have only fired warning shots and that they do not intentionally shoot civilians.
The GHF says the UN is using "false" figures from Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.
UN-backed global food security experts warned on Tuesday that the worst-case scenario of famine is "currently playing out" in the Gaza Strip.
