Israeli forces kill at least 27 at food site while minister's al-Aqsa visit causes outrage
Briefly

On Sunday in Gaza, Israeli forces killed at least 27 people who were attempting to access food aid, with six others dying from starvation or malnutrition. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reported that many deaths occurred at distribution sites. Since May 27, over 1,400 individuals have been killed seeking aid. The situation has worsened due to Israel's blockade, which hampers aid delivery and has driven the population into a state of famine. Despite Israel's denial of a starvation crisis, humanitarian organizations report severe restrictions on aid access.
