Media outlets in Gaza report that 20 people were killed and dozens injured overnight when a truck carrying goods into Gaza overturned in Deir al-Balah, in the central part of the enclave. It remains unclear whether the truck was intended for merchants or for a humanitarian organization.

According to reports by the Qatari outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the truck overturned after a crowd gathered around the vehicle, prompting it to divert onto an unsafe route, resulting in the accident.
