CNN —At least 19 people have been killed and 23 injured from Israeli fire on Gaza residents who were waiting for humanitarian aid at the Kuwait roundabout in Gaza City on Saturday, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said reports claiming it attacked dozens of Gazans at an aid convoy are incorrect and that a review of the incident is underway.
The Kuwait roundabout in Gaza City has become known as an area where aid trucks distribute food, attracting crowds of people desperate for supplies.
Several deadly attacks by Israeli soldiers on crowds of civilians lining up for aid have been reported in recent weeks.
It is unclear why aid was being distributed in the area of the Kuwait roundabout on Saturday.
