Gaza’s civil defence agency has said 30 people were killed by Israeli fire in the Palestinian territory, including 11 who were seeking aid, AFP reports.

Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 11 people were killed and more than 100 wounded “after the occupation forces opened fire and launched several shells… at thousands of citizens” who had gathered to queue for food in central Gaza.

The civil defence agency said another 19 people were killed in three Israeli strikes, which it said targeted houses and a tent for displaced people.

When asked for comment by AFP, the Israeli military said it was “looking into” the reports.
