Tensions escalate in Gaza as recent violence near an aid site results in multiple fatalities, sparking outrage and conflicting reports.
Disturbing footage has emerged showing body bags outside Nasser hospital while witnesses relayed accounts of chaotic scenes, describing targeted gunfire during aid distribution.
