The IDF says it is looking into reports of an apparent Israeli strike on a crowd of Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza City.
According to officials in Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, dozens of people were killed or wounded in the incident.
Dr. Jadallah Shafai, the head of the nursing department at Shifa Hospital, says that around 50 people were killed and 250 wounded, but did not provide a precise toll, and the figures cannot be independently verified.
