At least 25 Palestinians were killed after approaching an aid site operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the so-called Netzarim corridor.

Israeli military strikes killed at least 57 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, most of them at an aid site operated by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in central Gaza, local health officials said.

Medical officials at Shifa and Al-Quds Hospitals said at least 25 people were killed as they approached the aid site near the former settlement of Netzarim, and dozens were wounded.

Ten other people were killed in other Israeli military strikes in Khan Younis in the south of the enclave, they added.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.

On Tuesday, when Gaza health officials said 17 people were killed near another GHF aid site in Rafah in southern Gaza, the army said it fired warning shots to distance "suspects" who were approaching the troops and posed a threat.
