A Gaza aid distribution system, backed by Israel and the US, temporarily halted operations after dozens of Palestinians were killed near its sites. Israeli forces opened fire, citing suspects ignoring warnings, while Gaza health officials blame Israel. At least 80 deaths have occurred near the sites since their opening. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is discussing safety improvements with the Israeli military. Separately, Israeli strikes killed 26 more Palestinians overnight. The new aid system, criticized by the UN for restricting access and violating humanitarian principles, is intended to prevent Hamas from misappropriating aid, though the UN denies such diversions. The ongoing conflict and blockade have left Gaza facing a potential famine.
