In the gruesome incident, more than 100 Palestinians were killed in firing as they waited for an aid delivery on Thursday. Gaza health authorities claimed Israeli forces were responsible for the incident, but Israel blamed the deaths on crowds that surrounded aid trucks, saying victims had been trampled or run over.
