Up to 300 people reported as wounded in incident north of Gaza City as Steve Witkoff set to visit Israel
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Middle East crisis.
Israeli gunfire killed at least 30 Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in northern Gaza on Wednesday, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.
Gaza civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that “at least 30” people were killed and 300 wounded.
The Israeli military said it had no knowledge of casualties in the incident north of Gaza City, as the United Nations said that pauses in Israel’s offensive against Hamas were not enough to help the population through a deepening hunger crisis.
