Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territories: Heavy clashes and explosions shook Gaza, witnesses said on Saturday, as the Red Crescent reported several people killed during the latest chaotic aid distribution in the territory's north, where famine looms.
The Palestine Red Crescent said five people were killed and dozens injured by gunfire and a stampede during an aid delivery in Gaza's north.
Eyewitnesses told AFP that Gazans overseeing the aid delivery shot in the air, but Israeli troops in the area also opened fire and some moving trucks hit people trying to get the food.
The Israeli military told AFP it "has no record of the incident described".
Fighting has not eased -- including around the territory's largest hospital -- and the latest toll from the health ministry in the Gaza Strip said at least 82 more people were killed in the previous 24 hours, adding that at least 32,705 people, mostly women and children, are killed till now.
