The Hamas-run health ministry says more than a hundred people were injured in the attack. The aid distributor said the reports were "false".

International nonprofit organisation Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said one of its vessels left the Italian port of Catania on Sunday, heading for Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid, after a previous attempt failed due to a drone attack on a separate ship in the Mediterranean.

A watchdog claims the U.K. warned of Hamas links in a Gaza aid program. The U.K. denies funds went to Hamas-run agencies, but critics call for greater transparency.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert condemned the "thugs" in the government of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, doubling down on his accusation that they are committing "war crimes" against Palestinians in Gaza.

The embattled Israeli-backed aid group that began operating in Gaza earlier this week is not screening Palestinians at aid distribution sites, despite Israeli officials saying that additional security measures were a core reason for the creation of the new program.
