Tank fire kills 51 people trying to get food in Gaza

Israeli tanks fired into a crowd trying to get aid from trucks in the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 51 people, medics said, in one of the bloodiest incidents yet as desperate residents struggle for food.

Video shared on social media showed around a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street in Khan Younis. The Israeli military said it was looking into the incident. Eyewitnesses said Israeli tanks had fired at least two shells at a crowd of thousands, who had gathered on a road hoping to get food from aid trucks that use the route. Medics said at least 14 others were killed in separate Israeli gunfire and airstrikes elsewhere in the enclave, taking the day's toll to at least 65. Reuters
