Medical sources at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis say that seven Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire near aid centres north of Rafah, Al Jazeera reports.

The sources at Nasser also reported that four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombing of a tent housing displaced people in al-Mawasi.

The so-called “safe” zone in Gaza has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli forces since the beginning of the offensive on the Palestinian enclave.
