Medical officials in Gaza told the Palestinian news agency WAFA that 79 people were killed and 379 wounded in the past 24 hours.

Among those, six people were killed and 66 wounded while seeking aid, bringing the total number of people killed in aid-related incidents to 2,566 and the wounded to more than 18,769 since the start of the conflict.
