Gaza’s civil defence agency says 12 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli drone strikes while waiting to receive desperately needed humanitarian relief in the besieged north, Al Jazeera reports.

“Civil defence teams retrieved 12 martyrs and several injured individuals after Israeli drone strikes targeted a group of citizens and a vehicle waiting for aid,” agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said.

The Israeli drones struck near the Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza City. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
