At least 67 Palestinians were reportedly killed by Israeli gunfire while waiting for UN aid in northern Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. An additional six people were killed and over 150 injured while awaiting aid in other areas. The Israeli military denied the fatalities, stating that only warning shots were fired. The World Food Programme revealed that its aid convoys were targeted by gunfire as they entered Gaza. A severe food shortage is driving up prices, making survival increasingly difficult for civilians. UN agencies are urging Israel to lift the blockade to enable humanitarian relief operations.
