"From CNN's Abeer Salman 2:08 p.m. UTC+2, January 25, 2024 Shelling strikes crowd waiting for aid in Gaza, killing at least 20, Hamas-run health ministry says At least 20 people have been killed and as many as 150 injured - including dozens critically when an Israeli military strike struck "thousands of people desperate to get humanitarian aid at the Kuwait roundabout in Gaza City," the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said. Journalists at the scene said people were waiting for aid coming from the south along the Salah al-Din road, and local reports speak of multiple casualties amid shelling and gunfire. Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said that the number of dead was "likely to increase as a result of the dozens of serious injuries that arrived at the Shifa Medical Complex, which lacks medical capabilities." The journalists said that multiple casualties had been taken to Al Shifa and Al Ahli hospitals. CNN has asked the Israel Defense Forces for comment on any military operations in the vicinity of Kuwait Junction. On Wednesday, video from the same location showed hundreds of people running in panic, some carrying boxes of aid, as gunfire reverberated in the background."
