An Israeli drone attack on an aid convoy in southern Gaza killed at least 15 people, including several aid workers and aid guards, compounding a worsening hunger crisis in the enclave.
The strike on Thursday has also left more than 30 people injured, including some in critical condition, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
According to people in the area and local media, a number of those killed were aid guards who were present to prevent lootings and chaos from arising at distribution points.
Nasser Banat, whose son and son-in-law were guarding aid before they were killed in the attacks, told Middle East Eye that the Israeli army targets such convoys because they believe the armed aid guards are Hamas-backed.
"They [the Israeli army] want people to steal the aid packages, and keep the chaos ongoing," he said.
