What we know so far about the Palestinians killed at aid deliveries | DW News

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. Amid differing reports on precisely what occurred in the hours before dawn, the AFP news agency quoted witnesses from the scene saying Israeli forces had fired into the crowd.
