At least 36 people were killed on Saturday when Israeli troops opened fire on crowds of Palestinians making their way to an aid distribution site in Gaza at dawn, according to witnesses and hospital officials.
The group was reportedly made up of mostly young men who were making their way to two aid distribution centres run by the US-and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Most of the deaths reportedly occurred in the Teina area, about two miles from a GHF aid distribution centre east of Khan Younis.
