Israeli forces killed more than 130 Palestinians in Gaza in a single day, including several children who were attempting to collect water for their hungry families in the besieged enclave.

The Palestinian health ministry reported on Sunday that at least 139 bodies had been brought to Gaza's hospitals in the past 24 hours, with a number of unaccounted people presumed dead under the rubble.

Medical officials told reporters that at least 24 Palestinians had been killed whilst on their way to a food distribution site near Rafah run by the controversial Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

According to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, nearly 800 Palestinians have been killed while trying to access aid in Gaza between late May, when the GHF launched its operations, and 7 July. Scores more have been killed since then.

Meanwhile, health officials said seven children were killed after an Israeli air strike targeted a water distribution site in central Gaza.
