Hospitals in Gaza report that Saturday's death toll is even higher and estimate that 129 people have been killed, including 33 people who were queuing for humanitarian aid.

The Israeli military says it fired warning shots at people on their way to a distribution point for emergency aid in Rafah in southern Gaza, because they behaved suspiciously, writes AP. On the other hand, the military says it is not aware of any fatalities.

The criticized Israeli-American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which distributes the emergency aid, states that no incident has occurred near their distribution points.

In an air attack on the Shati refugee camp in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, at least eight people are reported to have been killed and 40 injured, according to hospital data cited by Haaretz.

In Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, 13 people were killed in Israeli air attacks. A further 15 people have been killed in attacks in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, according to Nasser Hospital.
