At least 31 people have reportedly been killed near an aid distribution centre in southern Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Palestinian health ministry, with conflicting accounts emerging over whether the deaths were caused by Israeli gunfire or an airstrike.
The Red Cross field hospital in Rafah earlier confirmed receiving 21 bodies and said 175 people had been injured. The facility is close to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site, a controversial new aid hub backed by Israel and the US.
