Scores killed trying to get food from an aid convoy during a chaotic scene in Gaza Enlarge this image toggle caption Adel Hana/AP Adel Hana/AP RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops fired on a large crowd of Palestinians racing to pull food off an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday, witnesses said. Trucks carrying food reached northern Gaza this week, the first major aid delivery there in a month, officials said. The violence came more than a month after witnesses and health officials in Gaza accused Israeli troops of firing on a previous aid distribution in Gaza City, killing at least 20 people. COGAT, the Israeli military body in charge of Palestinian civilian affairs, said around 50 aid trucks entered northern Gaza this week.
