Israeli airstrikes and gunfire have led to the deaths of at least 83 Palestinians in Gaza, exacerbating a hunger crisis fueled by Israeli policies. Specifically, on Tuesday, 58 aid seekers were killed while approaching food distribution sites backed by the US and Israel. Eyewitness reports indicate that gunfire is often unleashed on individuals seeking aid. The humanitarian situation is dire, with the United Nations criticizing the Global Humanitarian Fund's response. In the latest reporting period, eight more deaths from malnutrition were recorded, contributing to a total of over 1,560 fatalities among aid seekers since the crisis escalated.
