At least 13 Palestinians have been killed in firing by Israeli soldiers in the south of the Gaza Strip, near an aid distribution centre, according to a Palestinian news report on Monday.
Dozens more were injured when the army shot at people near a distribution centre for humanitarian aid, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
An Israeli army spokesman said the report was being investigated.
According to WAFA, 10 others were killed in Israeli shelling in the area of a warehouse in the south of the city of Gaza on Monday morning.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has denied similar reports of fatal incidents at its aid centres in the past.
The foundation, which has been criticized by the United Nations and aid agencies operating in the Palestinian Territories, began its work last month following an almost three-month-long Israeli blockade of aid supplies.
GHF says it has since distributed more than 50 million meals to people in the war-torn coastal strip.
