At least 67 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for UN aid trucks in northern Gaza on Sunday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. The Israeli military stated troops fired warning shots at a crowd of thousands, citing an ‘immediate threat,’ but disputed the casualty figures, claiming they were inflated. Dozens more were wounded in the incident, marking one of the deadliest recent episodes involving aid-seekers in Gaza. The violence occurred as Israel issued new evacuation orders for displaced civilians in the area. This follows similar incidents, including 36 Palestinian deaths near aid sites just a day earlier.
