At least 29 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for aid in two separate Israeli attacks, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
The first incident on Thursday saw eight people killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution centre in Al-Nuseirat camp, in the central Gaza strip, they said.
Later, at least 21 people were killed and more than 150 wounded by Israeli gunfire at a crowd waiting for aid at a roundabout, the ministry said.
Israel’s military said it is looking into both incidents.
This comes two weeks after the Gaza health ministry said at least 112 people were killed during another aid delivery.
Israel‘s account of that incident was “not clear”, as several “different versions of events” were given, Sky’s Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall said at the time.
Civilians were gathered to try and get food and medicine from aid truck deliveries. A video obtained by Al Jazeera showed a crowd appearing to flee and duck amid audible gunfire.
Following the incident, medical teams said they were unable to cope with the volume and severity of the injuries, with dozens of wounded taken to the Al Shifa hospital, just under 4km from the incident site.
Israel’s current military offensive in Gaza was launched in the wake of Hamas’s 7 October attack.
The number of Palestinians killed since then is more than 31,000, the health ministry previously said.
A quarter of the remaining 2.3 million Palestinians there face starvation, according to the United Nations.
