An Israeli attack on Sunday morning killed at least 30 Palestinians near a food aid distribution point in southern Gaza, according to local health officials.
Eyewitnesses said Israeli forces opened fire directly on hundreds of people as they attempted to reach the Israel-approved aid distribution centre in the al-Mawasi area of western Rafah, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Wafa news agency.
The death toll was reported by officials at a hospital in Gaza as well as Hamas-affiliated media. Wafa said another 115 people were treated for injuries.
