At least 21 people - including 10 children - have been killed by a fire
The number of deaths at Jabalia refugee camp following the fire - which is now under control - is likely to rise, Dr Salah Abu Laila added, Qazet.az reports.
A local security official told the BBC an initial investigation suggested there was a gas leak from a kitchen.
Jabalia is one of eight camps in Gaza.
Dr Abu Laila, director of emergency services at the Indonesian Hospital in north Gaza, described the fire as "huge", with videos on social media showing the entire building engulfed in flames.
