Israeli gunfire reportedly killed at least 31 Palestinians at an aid distribution site in Rafah, Gaza, prompting condemnation of Israel over the ongoing humanitarian crisis, with the UN warning of famine. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has begun distributing aid in collaboration with Israel, denied any incidents of violence, claiming all operations proceeded without issue. Amidst chaotic scenes and rising casualties, negotiations for a ceasefire continue to falter, with significant loss of life reported since the conflict’s escalation in March.
