The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire across Gaza today has risen to 36, sources in hospitals in the territory have confirmed to Al Jazeera Arabic.

In what has become a routine occurrence, a number of those killed were seeking at one of the distribution centres run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Six people were killed by Israeli fire near a GHF aid point north of Rafah, sources at the Kuwait Field Hospital said.

In a separate attack, 10 people were killed, including a journalist, in an Israeli drone strike on a group of people in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.
