At least 26 people have been killed, and scores have been injured, near a US-backed aid distribution site near Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, according to medics and residents.

A local Palestinian journalist told the BBC that thousands of Palestinians had gathered near a humanitarian aid distribution centre when Israeli tanks approached and opened fire on the crowd.

The incident reportedly took place to the west of Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and the injured are being treated at one of Gaza’s few functioning hospitals in Khan Younis.

        I got that, you started your comments in direct reference to OP’s post. I just figured, since people replied to you with comments about the Guardian (which has since revised their headline 3 times btw) you might want to know where that was coming from.

        The BBC headline right now is even worse: “Israel denies firing at civilians after Hamas-run ministry says 31 killed in Gaza aide centre attack.” I’m typing it out myself because it keeps changing every update.
