Israeli troops opened fire on Saturday toward crowds of Palestinians seeking food from distribution hubs run by an Israeli-backed group in southern Gaza, killing at least 32 people, according to witnesses and hospital officials.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation launched operations in late May with backing from the US and Israel, intending to replace the traditional UN-led aid distribution system in Gaza.
Local health officials and witnesses say that hundreds of people have been killed by Israeli army fire as they try to reach the distribution hubs.
The death toll from violence in Sweida province, heartland of Syria's Druze minority, has risen to 940 since last weekend, despite the announcement of a ceasefire.
