At least 51 Palestinians were killed and over 200 injured after Israeli forces opened fire near an aid distribution site in Khan Younis, Gaza, according to witnesses and rescuers. Drones and tanks allegedly targeted crowds waiting for flour at a World Food Programme site. The Israeli military acknowledged firing after crowds approached troops and said the incident is under review. Nasser Hospital, overwhelmed by casualties, is struggling to cope. This marks the deadliest of several recent shootings linked to food aid sites. The UN and WHO have condemned the violence, with calls for an independent investigation intensifying internationally.
