Number of aid seekers killed in Gaza rises to 5

The number of Palestinians reported killed in Israeli firing while they were waiting for food in Gaza has risen from three to five, Al Jazeera reports.

Medical sources told Wafa two people were killed and dozens wounded after being shot close to an aid distribution point near Rafah, southern Gaza.

That’s in addition to three people killed earlier by Israeli troops while waiting for aid near the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza.
