At least 112 Palestinians are said to have been killed and 760 injured trying to get desperately needed aid in Gaza, the BBC reports.
Crowds descended on a convoy of lorries on the coastal road south-west of Gaza City, in the presence of Israeli tanks.
Israel’s military say tanks fired warning shots but did not strike the convoy. Some Palestinians say troops fired directly at them.
A Palestinian witness told the BBC most of those who died had been run over as lorry drivers tried to move forward.
Israeli aerial footage shows hundreds of people on and around lorries, while graphic videos posted online show bodies loaded on to emptied aid lorries and a donkey cart.
