Israeli forces killed at least 40 Palestinians today in the Gaza Strip, including many near a humanitarian aid distribution site run by the Humanitarian Aid foundation supported by the US. Palestinian health officials and the United Nations condemned these actions, stating that the aid distribution is inadequate and dangerous. The shooting incidents are part of daily conflicts in the region, where hundreds of Palestinians have been injured or killed while trying to access food following a partial lifting of the Israeli blockade. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incidents.
