STORYLINE:
Relatives of Mohammed al-Zameli gathered around his body to pay their last respects to the 75 year-old-man who was killed when aid being airdropped over the Gaza Strip hit his tent in Muwasi, his family said.
His remains were taken to Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, which received other bodies from strikes and other incidents in southern Gaza earlier on Monday.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Monday that the Palestinian death toll from the war had climbed to 62,004, with another 156,230 people wounded.
It does not say how many were civilians or combatants, but says women and children make up around half the dead.
The ministry is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals.
The U.N. and many independent experts consider its figures to be the most reliable estimate of wartime casualties. Israel disputes its toll but has not provided its own.
The ministry said 1,965 people have been killed while seeking humanitarian aid since May, either in the chaos around U.N. convoys or while heading to sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-backed American contractor.
Hamas-led militants abducted 251 people and killed around 1,200, mostly civilians, in an attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, that ignited the war.
Around 20 of the hostages still in Gaza are believed by Israel to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals.
