The White House said that the incident in northern Gaza, in which more than 100 Palestinians waiting for an aid delivery were killed after Israeli forces opened fire on them, was "tremendously alarming" and of deep concern.
"This latest event needs to be thoroughly investigated," White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton told reporters.
"This event underscores the need for ... expanded humanitarian aid to make its way into Gaza."
