20 killed after trucks overturn on crowd in Gaza

# Twenty people have died, and dozens were injured after four trucks overturned in central Gaza on Tuesday. The BBC quotes the Hamas-run civil defence agency as saying the trucks overturned when crowds moved towards the trucks, climbed on top, and caused the drivers to lose control on the rugged and dangerous roads. The agency says the vehicles were among 26 commercial trucks carrying aid into Gaza as part of Israel’s plan to allow food to enter the Strip through the private sector. Israel’s military meanwhile said they are looking into the reports.
