Israeli troops fired on Palestinians attempting to access food distribution hubs in southern Gaza, resulting in at least 32 deaths, according to Gaza authorities and witnesses. The shootings occurred near hubs run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S. and Israeli-backed group aiming to replace the UN aid system. Witnesses describe indiscriminate fire, while Israel claims it fired warning shots after suspects approached troops. The incident highlights the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict and chaotic food distribution.
