At least 29 people were killed in two separate attacks by Israeli forces on people waiting for aid in the besieged Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials said.

The news agency Reuters reported this information about the Gaza Ministry of Health.

Palestinian health officials said eight people were killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution center in al-Nusirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. And at least 21 people were killed and more than 150 wounded when Israeli gunfire hit a crowd waiting for an aid truck at a roundabout in northern Gaza.

Israel's military said it was investigating both incidents.

Earlier, the Israeli forces attacked those waiting for relief. However, Israeli forces have always blamed the death on a crowd surrounding the aid truck.

According to the Hamas-run Health Ministry, more than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 71,000 injured in Gaza since October 7. The actual death toll is believed to be much higher because thousands of people are still missing under the rubble of buildings damaged by Israeli airstrikes.
