At least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured near an aid distribution site in Rafah, Gaza, after Israeli forces opened fire, according to local officials. Eyewitnesses described "gunfire from all directions" as civilians approached the site, with tanks, helicopters, and drones reportedly involved. The IDF claimed it fired at suspects who deviated from designated routes and posed a threat. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, overseeing aid distribution, denied involvement and blamed movements beyond its zone. The UN called for an independent investigation, saying people were being forced to choose between "starvation or being shot" while seeking aid. (PC: Getty Images)
