nnIsraeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 46 Palestinians in Gaza, with most victims being civilians waiting for humanitarian aid deliveries. Health officials confirmed over 30 deaths occurred specifically among crowds seeking food, while hospitals treated dozens of wounded survivors. The Israeli military did not immediately comment but has historically blamed such incidents on Hamas operating in populated areas. This event adds to a documented pattern where over 1,000 Palestinians have died while attempting to access aid since May. Simultaneously, seven Palestinians including a child succumbed to malnutrition-related causes amid Gaza’s worsening hunger crisis.
