More Palestinians killed as they seek aid
Hospital officials said they received bodies from areas along truck convoy routes or near privately run aid distribution points.
The Associated Press spoke to witnesses of gunfire in the Israeli-controlled Morag and Netzarim corridors and the Teina area in the south. All accused Israeli forces of firing at crowds as people tried to reach food distributions or waited for convoys.
Fifteen people were killed while waiting for trucks near the Morag corridor that separates the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Younis, according to Nasser hospital.
The situation is a 'death trap", said Jamal al-Laweh, who said Israeli forces opened fire there. 'But I have no other choice to feed the kids." Six were killed while waiting for aid in northern Gaza near the Zikim crossing, according to Gaza's Health Ministry and Shifa hospital.
In central Gaza, witnesses said they heard warning shots before fire was aimed toward crowds trying to reach a distribution site operated by the Israeli-backed and US-funded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
The AP could not independently confirm who fired. Awda hospital said four people were killed by Israeli gunfire.
Six other aid-seekers were killed while trying to reach GHF sites in Khan Younis and Rafah, Nasser hospital said.
The GHF sites opened in May as an alternative to the UN-run aid system, but operations have been marred by deaths and chaos.
Seven people were killed in airstrikes, local hospitals said — three near the fishermen's port in Gaza City and four, two of them children, in a tent in Khan Younis. Israel's military did not immediately comment.
Hunger death toll among children hits 100 Israel's air and ground offensive has displaced most of Gaza's population and pushed the territory toward famine. Two Palestinian children died of malnutrition-related causes on Saturday, bringing the toll among children to 100 since the war began.
At least 117 adults have died of malnutrition-related causes since June, when the ministry started to count them.
The hunger toll is in addition to the ministry's war toll of 61,400 Palestinians. The ministry, part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, doesn't distinguish between fighters or civilians, but says around half of the dead have been women and children.
The UN and independent experts consider it the most reliable source on war casualties.
Labour strike urged in Israel over looming offensive Relatives of hostages urged Israeli companies to declare a general strike next week over the plans to expand military operations in Gaza City, fearing it will endanger their loved ones. Fifty hostages remain after being taken in the Hamas-led attack on Oct 7, 2023, that sparked the war, with 20 of them believed to be alive.
Lishay Miran-Lavi, whose husband, Omri, is among the hostages, appealed to US President Donald Trump and special envoy Steve Witkoff to halt the fighting.
Also Sunday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz toured part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where about 40,000 Palestinians have been driven from their homes this year in the West Bank's largest displacement since Israel captured the territory in 1967.
Israel says the operations are needed to stamp out militancy, as violence by all sides has surged since the war in Gaza began. Katz said the military would remain in the area's refugee camps at least until the end of the year. (AP) SCY SCY
