Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that Israeli forces killed at least 62 people, including 10 who were waiting for aid in the territory.

Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal has told AFP that 62 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli strikes or gunfire in the Gaza Strip.

When asked by AFP for comment, the Israeli military said it was looking into the incidents, and denied that its troops fired in one of the locations in central Gaza where rescuers said one person was killed.
