Gaza residents reported looting of UN food trucks overnight, following a chaotic aid distribution event. Hundreds of thousands face starvation due to Israel's blockade. A new US-backed aid system, excluding UN groups, led to clashes as Palestinians rushed a distribution point. Israel claims the system prevents aid reaching Hamas, while the UN cites neutrality concerns. The incidents highlight the dire humanitarian crisis, worsened by ongoing Israeli strikes, which have killed at least 15 more people today. International pressure on Israel is mounting.
