Media outlets in Gaza report that at least 10 people were killed and 50 wounded by Israeli army fire in the area of a humanitarian aid distribution center in western Rafah, where distribution hubs of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are located.

Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis announced that 13 people arrived at the hospital and were pronounced dead.

No footage of the incident itself has yet been published, though videos showing the wounded receiving treatment at Nasser Hospital have been released.

The IDF has not yet issued a response.

GHF told the Time of Israel they were unaware of any shooting incidents near their sites.

There have been repeated instances of Palestinians being shot near aid distribution sites. The IDF says it is investigating but has denied that troops are ordered to open fire on civilians.
