THE Gaza civil defence agency said Israeli forces opened fire on people waiting to enter a US-backed food distribution centre on Wednesday, killing 31 and wounding "about 200".

"We transported at least 31 martyrs and about 200 wounded as a result of Israeli tank and drone fire on thousands of citizens... on their way to receive food from the American aid centre," civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said.
The Israeli army did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment.
Bassal said thousands of Palestinians had been gathering since 2am (2300 GMT Tuesday) in the hope of reaching the US and Israeli-backed food distribution centre.
