Doctor describes 'total carnage' as 27 reported killed by Israeli fire at Gaza aid centre

The Hamas-run health ministry says at least 27 people have been killed and 90 injured after Israeli soldiers opened fire while people waited for aid distribution in Rafah.

Health officials in Gaza say at least 27 people have been killed near one of the controversial new aid distribution centres - the third reported incident in three days.

The Israeli military says they fired 'warning shots'; medics say they are dealing with a range of injuries.
