At least 67 Palestinians have been killed and more than 150 injured while waiting for aid in Gaza, according to hospital officials.
The latest deaths occurred in al Sudaniya in northern Gaza, where aid was entering through the Zikim crossing with Israel, the director of the al Shifa hospital said.
The Israeli military said soldiers had shot at a gathering of thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza who posed a threat, and that it was aware of some casualties, but said numbers being reported by teams in Gaza were far higher than the military’s initial investigation found.
The military added that it is attempting to facilitate the entry of aid, and blamed Hamas militants for fomenting chaos and endangering civilians.
