Four people killed after starving Palestinians burst into UN food warehouse in Gaza

Deaths from crushing and gunshot wounds come a day after Israeli forces opened fire at a food distribution point

Four people have died as thousands of Palestinians burst into a United Nations warehouse in Gaza, tearing away sections of the building's metal walls in a desperate attempt to find food.

Two people were fatally crushed and two others died of gunshot wounds after the crowd forced its way into the World Food Programme warehouse in Deir al-Balah on Wednesday afternoon, health officials said.
