At least 27 Palestinians killed near Gaza aid site
At least 27 Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire near a food distribution site in the southern Gaza Strip, local health authorities say. The Israeli military said its forces had opened fire on a group of individuals who had left designated access routes near the distribution centre in Rafah. It added it was still investigating what had happened. The deaths came hours after Israel said three of its soldiers had been killed in fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, as its forces pushed ahead with a months-long offensive against Hamas militants that has laid waste to much of the enclave. Reuters could not independently verify the reports in northern and southern Gaza. The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation launched its first distribution sites last week in an effort to alleviate widespread hunger amongst Gaza's war-battered population, most of whom have had to abandon their homes to flee fighting. The Foundation's aid plan, which bypasses traditional aid groups, has come under fierce criticism from the United Nations and established charities which say it does not follow humanitarian principles. The private group, which is endorsed by Israel, said it distributed 21 truckloads of food early Tuesday and that the aid operation was "conducted safely and without incident within the site". However, there have been reports of repeated killings near Rafah as crowds gather to get desperately needed supplies. Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip opened fire as people headed toward an aid distribution site a kilometre away, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, health officials and a witness say. The military said it fired warning shots at "suspects" who approached its forces. UN Secretary General António Guterres called for an independent investigation into alleged Israeli strikes near aid centres, prompting a sharp rebuke from the Israeli government. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein called Guterres' statement a "disgrace" and criticised the UN chief for failing to mention Palestinian Islamist group Hamas or its rejection of ceasefire and hostage release proposals. "Not a word about the fact that Hamas is the one shooting civilians and trying to prevent them from collecting aid packages," Marmorstein wrote in a post on X. In a separate incident on Monday, an Israeli strike on a residential building in northern Gaza killed 14 people, according to health officials. The Shifa and al-Ahli hospitals confirmed the toll from the strike in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp, saying five women and seven children were among those killed. The military said it had struck "terror targets" across northern Gaza, without elaborating. A Red Cross field hospital received 50 wounded people, including two declared dead on arrival, after the shooting in southern Gaza, according to Hisham Mhanna, a Red Cross spokesperson. with dpa At least 27 Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire near a food distribution site in the southern Gaza Strip, local health authorities say.

Trump's tariffs are the ‘biggest concern' for Australian businesses
Principal at Economics Unchained Stephen Halmarick says US President Donald Trump's tariffs have overtaken inflation as the biggest worry for Australian businesses. 'Interestingly, over the last year or so, inflation was by far the biggest worry for businesses in Australia,' Mr Halmarick told Sky News Australia. 'Now that's come down and in fact been overtaken by global geopolitical worries as the biggest concern for Australian businesses – and I think we all know the reasons for that.'
