An aid delivery in Gaza descended into chaos on Saturday with shots fired and a Red Crescent paramedic reporting five dead, as almost six months of Israeli bombardment has left hundreds of thousands in desperate need.

Two charities have organised aid deliveries by sea from Cyprus, with their second mission in just over two weeks setting sail on Saturday. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the go-ahead Friday for a new round of talks with negotiators expected to resume their work on Monday.A Red Crescent paramedic at a nearby hospital said five people were killed and dozens injured by gunfire and a stampede during a rare aid distribution in north Gaza.
The Hamas press office said "civilian houses" had been hit by dozens of Israeli strikes. The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of targets including militants and their compounds. The WHO chief said the hospital was no longer functioning but 100 patients and 50 health workers were reportedly still inside with fighting continuing around them.
During a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday Shira Elbag, whose 19-year-old daughter Liri was among those seized, urged Israelis to demand a change of focus from the prime minister. "After 176 days, the excuses are over," she said.
