Israeli attack on Palestinians near Gaza aid distribution centre kills at least 31, officials say

At least 31 people have been killed and more than 170 wounded on Sunday while on their way to receive food in the Gaza Strip after Israeli forces opened fire, according to health officials.

Eyewitnesses said the IDF fired on crowds around 1km from a new aid site run by an Israeli-backed foundation in the al-Mawasi area of western Rafah, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Wafa news agency. Witnesses said Israeli forces fired directly “from tanks and drones”.
