Hundreds of civilians were in the area and were waiting for the aid shipment when the accident occurred at midnight during the night towards Wednesday, according to the civil defense in Hamas-ruled Gaza.

Hamas accuses Israel of forcing the aid shipments to travel on unsafe roads to reach the distribution sites.

"It often leads to desperate crowds gathering around the trucks," writes the terrorist-stamped movement in a statement.

During the last 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip have registered five new deaths due to starvation and malnutrition, writes the Gaza health authority on Telegram.

A total of 193 people, including 96 children, have thus died due to malnutrition.

The figures are difficult to verify by independent parties, as Israel does not allow international journalists to report from Gaza.
