At least 31 people were killed and 175 wounded on Sunday as they were on their way to receive food in the Gaza Strip, according to health officials, a Red Cross field hospital and multiple witnesses. The witnesses said Israeli forces fired on crowds around 1,000 meters from an aid site run by an Israeli-backed organisation.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) issued a statement calling the reports "false" and referring to them as "serious allegations against the IDF regarding fire towards Gazan residents in the area of the humanitarian aid distribution site in Gaza."
