France and Germany have backed a call for an international inquiry, along with the US. India said it was “deeply shocked” at the deaths and Brazil said the incident was beyond “ethical or legal limits”. Health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza said Israeli forces had killed at least 112 people trying to reach a relief convoy near Gaza City early on Thursday, with famine looming nearly five months into the war.
The Hamas attack on 7 October killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in Israel and involved the seizure of 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. The Israeli response of an aerial bombardment, ground operations and a blockade, has since killed more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, health authorities in the territory say.
Israel blamed most of the deaths in the aid convoy incident on crowds who swarmed around trucks, saying victims had been trampled or run over. An Israeli official added that troops had later fired on some in the crowd they felt had posed a threat, in a “limited response”.
