BBC:
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed as they tried to access aid in Gaza, hospitals say.
Two hospitals in Gaza City said 25 people were killed overnight, near a convoy transporting flour and a food distribution site run by the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the area of the Netzarim corridor, an Israeli military zone.
The Hamas-run Civil Defence agency said Israeli forces opened fire. There are also reports of people being crushed by lorries and being shot by Palestinians. Israel’s military said troops fired warning shots as suspects approached them.
Another 14 people were killed by Israeli fire near a GHF site in Rafah, in the south, a hospital in Khan Younis said.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports from Rafah.
The GHF said more than 43,000 food parcels were handed out at its three distribution centres in Rafah and central Gaza “without incident” on Wednesday.
However, there have been deadly incidents near the GHF’s sites almost every day since its controversial aid system began operating on 26 May.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said 223 people had been killed while trying to reach areas designated for aid distribution over the past two weeks, including 57 on Wednesday.
