Witnesses and Gaza hospital officials say Israeli troops have killed at least 32 Palestinians near aid distribution hubs in the latest deadly violence around people seeking desperately needed food.

Israeli soldiers shot and killed 16 people waiting for humanitarian aid to be distributed in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian doctors at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Saturday. The 16 Palestinians were waiting near the northern Zikim border crossing for trucks carrying humanitarian aid.

Israel will coordinate airdrops of aid into Gaza from foreign countries in the coming days, an Israeli security official confirmed to ABC News.

At least 85 Palestinians were killed while seeking aid in one of the deadliest days for aid-seekers since the war began, Gaza's Health Ministry said.

Dr Nick Maynard says doctors noticed 'a clustering of different body parts being injured on different days'
