UN Reports Nearly 800 Palestinians Killed Near Gaza Aid Sites Amid Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis
The United Nations has reported that nearly 800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza while seeking food aid at distribution points since the end of May. As the humanitarian situation worsens, aid convoys and food hubs have become sites of violence, with many risking their lives to access insufficient aid. Medical professionals have described daily mass casualty incidents, overwhelming the already strained health system in the region. The Israeli army has faced criticism for its actions, which include opening fire on aid seekers, and there are ongoing calls for an investigation into these incidents. Amidst the chaos, black markets for food are emerging, and testimonies of deliberate attacks on Palestinians have raised serious ethical questions regarding the humanitarian response in Gaza.
