At least 31 people died and over 150 were wounded on Sunday in the Gaza Strip while trying to receive food aid. Witnesses reported that Israeli forces fired on crowds near an aid distribution site run by an Israeli-backed foundation. The foundation claimed to have delivered aid without incident, denying reports of violence despite prior claims of chaos. Over the past week, there have been increasing tensions and casualties in the region, highlighting the difficulties in humanitarian aid distribution amidst ongoing conflict. The situation remains under review by the Israeli military, which denied knowledge of injuries caused by their fire.
"The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid distribution has been marred by chaos in its first week of operations, and multiple witnesses have said Israeli troops fired on crowds near its delivery sites."
"The foundation says the private security contractors guarding its sites have not fired on the crowds. Israel's military has acknowledged firing warning shots on previous occasions."
