Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinians gathering near food distribution sites in southern Gaza, resulting in at least 32 deaths and numerous injuries. The shooting occurred next to facilities operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, criticized for insufficient aid distribution. Reports indicated that at least 100 individuals were wounded and transported to Nasser Hospital. The Israeli military announced an investigation into the incident. Since late May, the UN has reported hundreds of deaths near aid convoys and distribution sites in Gaza due to ongoing violence.
The deadly shootings occurred Saturday near facilities run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial aid group backed by the US and Israel.
At one site in the Khan Younis area, about 100 were wounded by gunfire and shelling and brought to Nasser Hospital from the nearby al-Tina district.
The Israeli military said it was investigating the incident in response to media inquiries.
According to the UN, hundreds of people have died near aid convoys and distribution hubs in Gaza since the end of May.
