The health ministry in the Hamas-run territory says that since late May, more than 500 people have been killed near aid centres seeking scarce supplies. The civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed 46 people waiting for aid on Tuesday.
The GHF has denied responsibility for deaths near its aid points.
Bassal, the civil defence spokesman, said Israeli air strikes on central and northern Gaza early on Wednesday killed at least 14 people.
A pre-dawn strike on a house in the central Nuseirat refugee camp killed six people including a child, with eight others killed in two separate strikes on houses in Deir el-Balah and east of Gaza City, Bassal said.
Israeli restrictions on media in the Gaza Strip and difficulties in accessing some areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by rescuers and authorities in the Palestinian territory.
The war was triggered by Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
Israel’s retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 56,077 people, also mostly civilians, according to the Gaza health ministry. The United Nations considers its figures reliable.
