At least 35 Palestinians have been killed and several others wounded by Israeli fire while waiting for humanitarian aid near the Netzarim Corridor, in the central Gaza Strip, reports Al Jazeera.

Israeli jets also bombed a house west of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, killing at least eight people and injuring more.

Hospitals in Gaza said at least 50 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army on Jun 20.

Israeli attacks on hungry Palestinians near aid centres have killed hundreds of people since the  Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) started distributions on May 27.

The shadowy Israeli- and United States-backed group tasked with distributing aid supplies has been criticized by the United Nations for its “failure” to ensure the safe delivery of supplies in Gaza, where aid agencies have warned that the entire population is facing the threat of famine after Israel imposed a total blockade from early March to late May.
