At least 104 people killed during Gaza aid distribution amidst Israeli military action

There have been conflicting reports regarding an incident in Gaza where Israeli troops are alleged to have opened fire on people waiting for aid near Gaza City. According to various sources, including Palestinian health authorities and leaders, at least 104 Palestinians were killed and over 760 were injured in the incident. The location of the incident is reported to be the Nabulsi roundabout, where a convoy of aid trucks was passing through an Israeli military checkpoint. Witnesses claim that Israeli tanks and drones started shooting at the people in Haroun Al Rasheed Street. Israeli sources, however, deny these claims and say that only dozens of people were injured during a stampede or pushing and trampling incidents. An IDF official reportedly claimed that troops opened fire at "several people" after feeling threatened. Reuters also reported that Israeli forces allegedly opened fire at "several people." The Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and neighboring countries have condemned the incident as a massacre, while the United Nations and UN human rights chief have also expressed concern over the violence. The local health ministry in Gaza reports that the death toll has surpassed 30,000, with over 2.2 million people at risk of starvation in the enclave. Just over 2,300 truckloads of aid entered the Gaza Strip in February. It should be noted that there are conflicting reports regarding the number of deaths and injuries, as well as the cause of the incident. While some sources claim that Israeli troops opened fire on unarmed civilians, others suggest that the deaths were due to a stampede or pushing and trampling incidents. The Israeli military denies the claims of deliberate targeting of civilians.
