Six Palestinians were killed and several wounded by Israeli gunfire near an aid distribution center in southern Gaza, as people gathered for food supplies. The Israeli military claimed to have fired warning shots at perceived threats, while the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation paused operations due to safety concerns amidst ongoing violence, which has seen over 60 Palestinians killed in recent days. The UN criticized the new aid distribution model as dangerous, exacerbating Gaza’s humanitarian crisis amid escalating conflict, which has resulted in over 54,677 deaths since the military campaign’s onset.
