Many of the Palestinians killed or wounded in the chaos as they tried to get bags of flour from an aid convoy in Gaza City were hit by Israeli army fire, the European Union’s diplomatic service has said.

The European External Action Service urged an international investigation, as outrage rises over the desperation of hundreds of thousands struggling to survive in northern Gaza after nearly five months of fighting between Israel and Hamas.
