Dozens were also injured near the two sites run by the controversial US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), it said.

The GHF said there were no incidents "at or near" their sites, but that there had been "Israel Defense Forces (IDF) activity" hours before their sites were due to open.

One eyewitness told the Reuters news agency that the Israeli gunfire seemed "targeted to kill".

The Palestinian ministry of health said a number of bodies were taken to nearby Nasser hospital on Saturday morning.
