Victims include 11 people seeking food near aid distribution points
Israeli forces killed at least 31 Palestinians and wounded dozens of others in the Gaza Strip, medics said Sunday.
A medical source said that five Palestinians lost their lives and several were wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced civilians in al-Mawasi in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Witnesses said Israeli artillery shelling also set Palestinian properties ablaze in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area of the city.
Palestinian medics retrieved the bodies of six people in Abasan al-Kabira in Khan Younis after Israeli strikes. A Palestinian woman was also killed by Israeli fire in the same area.
Six people seeking to reach food were also killed and dozens were injured by Israeli gunfire near an aid distribution point in Rafah in southern Gaza, medics said.
Separately, Israeli gunfire killed five Palestinians and wounded more than 15 others as they waited for humanitarian aid in the Al-Sudaniya area in the far north of the Gaza Strip.
A medical source said two people were killed and others injured in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Two Palestinians were killed, including a child, after an Israeli drone struck their home in Nuseirat.
Another Palestinian was killed by army fire targeting a home in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the source added.
In northern Gaza Strip, three Palestinians were killed, including a child, in separate Israeli strikes in Gaza City, according to a medical source.
The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 56,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
