Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has warned that continuing violence in Gaza risks taking the region to the point of collapse.

Armed members from the rival Hamas and Fatah factions have been battling in Gaza for control of key security posts.

Five Palestinians were killed in an explosion in a tunnel under a security headquarters in Khan Younis.

The fighting has spilled over into the West Bank with a gun battle breaking out in the northern town of Nablus.

At least 17 people have been reported killed in fighting on Wednesday with more than 60 people confirmed to have died in the last week.

Mahmoud Abbas, who heads Fatah, called the violence in Gaza "madness" and called on all parties to stop.

"Without a ceasefire and stopping of the fighting I think the situation will collapse in Gaza," he warned from Ramallah in the West Bank.
