Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
And we're going to begin today in Gaza and a very serious incident in Rafah,
right at the southern end of the Strip.
The precise circumstances of what happened are still not clear.
But local medics say at least 31 people have been killed and more than 150 wounded,
reportedly by Israeli tank or gunfire close to one of the new US and Israel-backed aid distribution centres.
Thousands of people had gathered outside the centre to collect food in the early morning.
Among them,
the brother of this man who spoke to BBC Arabic outside Nasser Hospital in nearby Khan Yunus.
Why do they tell them to go to the aid distribution point?
Why do they tell them to go there and then kill them?
What they're doing to us is unjust.
It's sinful.
They're lying to us.
My brother was killed, my younger brother.
He went to get food for his children.
Why did they kill him?
Isn't that wrong?
