People mourn following an early morning incident when residents rushed toward aid trucks in Gaza City on February 29, 2024.
At least 112 people were killed and more than 280 wounded in the incident near Gaza City, Palestinian health officials said, as the death toll in nearly five months of war passed 30,000.
In the first, he said aid trucks were surrounded by hundreds of people and, in the confusion, dozens were injured or killed, by being trampled or run over.
As the trucks left, he said, some of those who had rushed the convoy approached Israeli forces including a tank, which then opened fire.
He said he did not believe the death toll provided by the Palestinian authorities but provided no Israeli estimate, saying: "It was a limited response."
