Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed at least 47 people and wounded more than 200, as thousands of Palestinians gathered to receive flour at an aid centre in the morning, adding "Israeli drones fired at the citizens... some minutes later, Israeli tanks fired several shells at the citizens, which led to a large number of martyrs and wounded".
