On Wednesday, Israeli gunfire killed at least 30 Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in northern Gaza, according to the Hamas-run civil defense agency.
Gaza civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal told AFP that "at least 30" people were killed and 300 injured, The Guardian reports .
The Israeli military said it was unaware of casualties in the incident north of Gaza City, after the United Nations said pauses in Israel's offensive against Hamas were not enough to help the population through a deepening hunger crisis.
The UN humanitarian agency, OCHA, said that four days after Israel's "tactical pauses", people were still dying from hunger and malnutrition, along with casualties among those seeking help.
Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, said his facility had received 35 bodies from the shooting, which reportedly took place about three kilometers (two miles) southwest of the Zikim crossing for aid trucks entering Gaza.
Amid stalled talks on a ceasefire, US special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to visit Israel on Thursday.
Witkoff has been involved in indirect ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The talks broke down last week when Israel and the US withdrew their delegations from Doha.
A US official told reporters that Witkoff "will meet with officials to discuss next steps in addressing the situation in Gaza."
