Gaza’s health ministry has said at least 89 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, with more than 70 dying while waiting for aid in southern Khan Younis, Al Jazeera reports.

“Bodies were strewn in the streets. People were attacked while waiting for aid and flour to arrive … People are hungry and desperate, they just wanted food,” said survivor Awad Barbakh.

Witness Saeed Abu Lebda said civilians were “blown to pieces, body parts were scattered all over the place”. “The number of victims is way more than those brought to the hospital. But no one could reach them to provide help,” he said.
