Israeli fire kills 41 more Palestinians in Gaza
Israeli fire and airstrikes killed at least 41 Palestinians across Gaza on Sunday, local health authorities said, at least eight of them near two aid sites operated by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). At least eight Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded on Sunday in a shooting near Israeli- and US-supported food distribution points in the Gaza Strip, according to health officials. Medics at Al Awda Hospital in the central Gaza Strip said at least three people were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire as they tried to approach a GHF site near the Netzarim corridor. Two others were killed en route to another aid site in Rafah in the south. A Palestinian man hold his wounded head after an Israeli strike on the Bureij camp for Palestinian refugees. AFP The Gaza health ministry said in a statement on Saturday that at least 300 people have so far been killed, and more than 2,600 wounded, near aid distribution sites since the GHF began operations in Gaza. 'These are not humanitarian aid, these are traps for the poor and the hungry under the watch of occupation planes,' said Munir Al Bursh, Director-General of the health ministry. 'Aid distributed under fire isn't aid, it is humiliation,' Bursh posted on X on Sunday. An airstrike killed seven other people in Beit Lahiya town north of the enclave, medics said. Palestinians try to reach a casualty in the rubble of a house targeted in an Israeli strike. AFP In Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip, medics said an Israeli airstrike killed at least 11 people in a house. The rest were killed in separate airstrikes in the southern Gaza Strip, they added. The GHF began distributing food packages in Gaza at the end of May after Israel partially lifted a near three-month total blockade. Scores of Palestinians have been killed in near-daily mass shootings trying to reach the food. The United Nations rejects the Israeli-backed new distribution system as inadequate, dangerous, and a violation of humanitarian impartiality principles. Later on Sunday, COGAT, the Israeli military aid coordination agency, said that this week it had facilitated the entry of 292 trucks with humanitarian aid from the United Nations and the international community, including food and flour, into Gaza.

Gaza rescuers say 16 killed by Israeli military
Gaza's civil defence agency said 16 people were killed in Israeli military operations in the Palestinian territory on Sunday, most of them while waiting for aid. The first responders agency's teams transported the bodies of 16 people killed by Israeli fire in various parts of the Palestinian territory, spokesman Mahmoud Bassal told AFP. At least three people were killed and many injured when Israeli forces "targeted a gathering of hundreds of citizens near the aid distribution point" in central Gaza Sunday morning, Bassal said. In the coastal territory's north, Bassal said civil defence teams transported seven people killed on their way to get aid distributed from trucks in the area northwest of Gaza City. In south Gaza, two people were killed and 50 were injured "when (Israeli) forces opened fire on citizens near an aid distribution point," Bassal said. Contacted by AFP, the army said it was "not aware of gunshots near Netzarim or Rafah", and that it was looking into the events in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said Sunday the bodies of 26 people have arrived at hospitals over the past 24 hours in aid-related casualties, in addition to more than 117 injured people. The total number of aid-related deaths reported at hospitals from designated aid distribution areas has now reached 300, with over 2,649 injuries, the ministry added.
