Israel kills 20 in Gaza, including eight waiting for aid

Medical officials in Gaza say at least 20 people have been killed by Israeli strikes across the enclave since dawn.

Emergency crews reported that four people were killed and others wounded after Israeli forces bombed Jabalia al-Balad, in the north of Gaza.

Hospitals confirmed that among the dead were eight Palestinians who had gathered in hopes of receiving desperately needed aid.

Local authorities accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians already enduring hunger and siege conditions, calling the attacks yet another crime against a population trapped under blockade.
