Gaza’s civil defence agency claimed 20 people were killed and over 200 injured after Israeli troops opened fire near an aid site in Rafah. Victims were reportedly waiting near the Al-Alam roundabout for food from a US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation centre. The Red Cross said it received 200 casualties in one incident—the highest yet. Israel’s military said it's reviewing the report. Aid has been limited since March, prompting widespread hunger. Medical officials said people are being killed while seeking basic food. The Gaza Health Ministry claims over 55,000 deaths in the conflict, now in its 21st month. (PC: NDTV)
