At least 51 people were killed and more than 200 others injured by Israeli fire as they waited for aid trucks to arrive in Khan Younis in southern Gaza early Tuesday morning, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

"The IDF is aware of reports regarding a number of injured individuals from IDF fire following the crowd's approach," the IDF said.

The Israel Defense Forces said a crowd gathered near an aid truck “in proximity to IDF troops” and that it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals.”
