Israeli forces opened fire near an aid distribution center in Rafah on Tuesday, killing at least 27 Palestinians and injuring 90, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The incident occurred near the Flag Roundabout, close to a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). It marks the third such attack in the area in recent days, BBC reported.
The Israeli military claimed it targeted individuals who strayed from designated routes. Authorities in Gaza report over 100 deaths near the aid hub since GHF began operations on May 27.
The Red Cross reported 184 injured brought to its field hospital, with 27 later confirmed dead. Investigations into the incident are ongoing, according to BBC.
