At least 43 Palestinians, including 21 aid seekers, have been killed across Gaza since dawn, according to medical sources, Al Jazeera reports.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said 15 of the aid seekers died from a stampede and suffocation due to tear gas being fired at Palestinians seeking food at a GHF food distribution hub in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Earlier, an Israeli attack on a camp of displaced people in al-Mawasi killed nine people.
