Jerusalem [Israeli], July 21: At least 115 people, including 92 aid seekers, were killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza. More than 200 people wounded. Two more Palestinians, including a 35-day-old infant, have died of malnutrition at Gaza City's al-Shifa Hospital.
Local health authorities reported 67 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire in northern Gaza in the morning alone.
The victims had been unarmed, the outlet reported, citing eyewitnesses.
Many bodies were still lying on the streets in the north-west of Gaza City.
According to several reports, people had been waiting near a border crossing to Israel for trucks carrying aid supplies.
A further two people were killed near the Al-Shakoush aid distribution point to the north of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, WAFA reported.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the controversial agency backed by Israel and the United States as a substitute for UN-organized aid operations, maintains a distribution point to the north of Rafah, according to Palestinian reports.
There was no statement from the GHF.
UN and other aid organizations report catastrophic conditions in the Gaza Strip, whose almost 2 million residents are almost entirely dependent on aid to survive following almost 22 months of fighting between Israel and Palestinian extremist group Hamas.
According to UN figures, hundreds have died in the vicinity of aid distribution points and around aid convoys since the end of May.
