Dozens of Palestinians waiting for food aid southwest of Gaza City have been killed or wounded after the group was shot at a main roundabout, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent on the ground.

Bodies were seen on the ground after the attack with rescuers unable to reach them due to the danger of further Israeli strikes, according to the correspondent.

For days, residents of northern Gaza have been desperately searching for food, with many taking a long trek towards the south by foot, amid growing reports of malnutrition and starvation.
