What We Know About the Deaths Near the Gaza Aid ConvoyGazan authorities said that more than 100 people were killed and hundreds more injured in a chaotic scene early Thursday morning in Gaza City, where a crowd gathered around a convoy of trucks carrying desperately needed aid and the Israeli military opened fire.
A small number of people may have been struck by aid trucks during the panic, and two Israeli military vehicles are also visible at the scene.

The two tanks visible in the drone video were stationed on Al-Rashid around 250 meters from the base.
Aid delivery has also been hampered by the breakdown of civil order as increasingly desperate civilians converge on aid convoys before the trucks can get to distribution centers.
