At least 73 Palestinians killed in Gaza waiting for aid says Hamas-run health ministry | BBC News


At least 73 Palestinians are reported to have been shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza on Sunday while waiting for food aid, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

It reported that Israeli soldiers killed at least 67 people in one incident when they opened fire on people waiting for UN aid lorries delivering food in northern Gaza, where people are reported to be starving.

The UN World Food Programme said its 25-truck convoy "encountered massive crowds of hungry civilians which came under gunfire", soon after crossing from Israel and clearing checkpoints.

The Israel Defence Forces said that they had "fired warning shots" to remove what they described as "an immediate threat" and disputed the number of reported deaths.
