Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent
Media outlets in Gaza report that dozens of people were killed and others wounded east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip while waiting to receive humanitarian aid.
Conflicting reports place the number of fatalities between 20 and 50.
No visual documentation of the incident has emerged so far.
The reports do not specify if the incident occurred near aid distribution being managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. There have been near-daily reports of shootings resulting in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians trying to reach their sites.
There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
