Israeli official says IDF fired 'warning shots' near Gaza aid distribution center
Huckabee accused media organizations of not verifying details of the incident with "any source other than Hamas and its collaborators."
Video from an NBC News team on the ground showed a truck arriving at Nasser Hospital carrying several wounded men. Bystanders rushed the men inside, laying them beside other bloodied bodies strewn across the floor.
Arafat Siam, 43, said his brother was killed on Sunday while attempting to collect aid for his children.
"He was going to get a living for his children and they killed him," Siam said. "He is not with Hamas or anyone else."
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said he was "appalled" by reports of Palestinians killed while hoping to collect aid on Sunday.
"It is unacceptable that Palestinians are risking their lives for food," he said in an X post. "I call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for perpetrators to be held accountable."
Guterres reiterated his call for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all Israeli hostages.
Israel launched its war in Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, after Hamas militants killed some 1,200 people in Israel and took 251 people hostage. Israel has since killed over 54,000 people in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
