The sources said representatives from the United Nations, Palestinian Authority, and Egyptian government will be among the participants in the conference.

It will discuss ways for preventing further escalation of the situation in the Gaza Strip and preventing a human crisis in the coastal enclave.

Planning is underway for the conference later this month but an exact date has not been determined.

It comes as thousands of people on Saturday attended the funeral ceremony of Razan al- Najar, a Palestinian volunteer medic who was recently shot dead by Israeli troops near Gaza border.

She was the second woman among more than 115 Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli army fire since Gaza border protests began in late March.

Her death has brought the total of Palestinians killed in the weekly demonstrations to 119.
