An airstrike hit a Greek Orthodox church housing displaced Palestinians overnight, according to reports.

Mohammed Abu Selmia, director general of Shifa Hospital, said dozens were hurt at the Church of Saint Porphyrios but could not give a precise death toll because bodies were still under the rubble.

Palestinian authorities have blamed the blast on an Israeli airstrike - a claim that has not been independently verified.

Meanwhile, hundreds of lorries are waiting at the Rafah crossing with aid for Gaza - but a deal will only allow up to 20 in, and it's still not clear when.
