A Thursday incident in the Gaza Strip that left over 100 Palestinians dead and injured hundreds more as they waited to receive food aid has provoked strong reactions from actors on all sides of the conflict, including Palestinian militant group Hamas, the UN, Israel and the United States.

It later also acknowledged that some Israeli soldiers had fired their weapons, though it claimed they had only shot into the air or at peoples' legs.
