At least 30 in food queue killed by Israeli fire: Gaza civil defence agency

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories —

The Israeli military said it had no knowledge of casualties in the incident north of Gaza City, as the UN said that pauses in Israel's offensive against Hamas were not enough to help the population through a deepening hunger crisis.

The UN humanitarian agency, Ocha, said that four days into Israel's "tactical pauses", people were still dying from hunger and malnutrition, alongside casualties among those seeking aid.

Gaza civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that "at least 30 martyrs were killed" and 300 were wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on people waiting for aid north of Gaza City.

Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, said his facility had received 35 bodies from the shooting, which reportedly occurred about 3km south-west of the Zikim crossing point for aid trucks entering Gaza.

The Israeli army said that dozens of Gazans were seen "gathering around aid trucks in northern Gaza, and in close proximity to IDF (Israel Defence Forces) troops operating in the area".
