At least 24 Palestinians in Gaza fatally shot on way to aid distribution site
The incident unfolded close to an aid hub near Rafah run by The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-backed American organisation.
One injured man said he was about 200 metres from the site when an Israeli tank started firing at crowds.
'We were together, and they shot us at once,' Abdullah al-Haddad said. He was in hospital with an injured leg.
Israel's military said it fired warning shots toward people it said were behaving suspiciously to prevent them from approaching, and was not aware of any casualties.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said no incident occurred near its sites.
A woman whose son was killed in the shooting said she had previously stopped him from going to the site, because she thought it was too dangerous.
'He said to me, 'Mom, you don't have flour and today I'll go and bring you flour, even if I die, I'll go and get it,'' Sumaya al-Sha'er said.
'But he never came back home.'
According to the United Nations, at least 798 people have been killed by Israeli fire at food distribution points in Gaza since the end of May, with the majority of incidents at sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
The GHF denies there has been violence in or around its sites.
The UN and other aid groups have said they struggle to distribute aid due to widespread looting and Israeli military restrictions.
Meanwhile, at least 28 Palestinians, including four children, were killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Saturday, Palestinian health officials said.

The deaths come amid intense airstrikes in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, and Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Ceasefire talks are ongoing following two days of meetings between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump had said he was closing in on an agreement between Israel and Hamas that would bring the release of more hostages from Gaza and potentially wind down the war.
The militant group still holds some 50 hostages, with at least 20 believed to remain alive.

Heartbreaking images of Gaza kids on brink of death can no longer be ignored
WARNING - DISTRESSING IMAGES: Severely weak Yezen Abu Ful, two, is among 70,000 children medics warn are now facing malnutrition - as a UN chief blasted the 'indifference and inaction' of global leaders over the Gaza slaughter A starving child clings to his mum in an image victims in Gaza pray the world can no longer ignore. Severely weak Yezen Abu Ful, two, is among 70,000 children medics warn are now facing malnutrition. UN chief Antonio Guterres blasted the 'indifference and inaction' of global leaders over the Gaza slaughter, as children dying from hunger hit 122 since the war began. Keir Starmer vowed the UK will 'pull every lever' to get vital aid into the Strip and added: 'This humanitarian catastrophe must end.' Pitiful cries for help ring out from the depths of despair in Gaza, calling to a world that appears to have stood by and watched the hell of slaughter and starvation unfold. And as yet more horrific images of emaciated children on the brink of death emerge, the call for action to end the suffering of Palestinians in the face of relentless Israeli attacks and blockades grows. In one haunting image, Muhammed Zakariya Ayyub al-Matouk – a tragic sight of skin and bones – clings to his desperate mum in a tent in Gaza City where there is no access to milk, food, or basic necessities. The one-and-a-half-year-old is just one of an estimated 70,000 children said by medics to be in a state of starvation – and up to 28 are believed to be dying every day. Gaza's hospitals yesterday reported nine more deaths from hunger in 24 hours, bringing the total to 122 since the war started. In another harrowing picture, Yezen Abu Ful, two, lies helpless at the Al-Shati Refugee Camp, waiting for food many know may never come until it is too late. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the world not to ignore the crisis. He said: 'I cannot explain the level of indifference and inaction we see by too many in the international community. The lack of compassion, the lack of truth, the lack of humanity.' Gaza-based journalist Noor al-Shana told how desperate Palestinians are 'tired of empty expressions of solidarity' – as the death toll in the strip hit 59,587. She said: 'We don't want just words, we want actions. There are thousands of children dying now and no one is doing anything. The world is saying 'Free Palestine'. We don't want words, we want solutions.' World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Israel 's actions in Gaza were causing 'man-made mass starvation'. Parents are going without food themselves for days in a bid to save their stricken children. Unicef and other agencies warned Gaza will run out of the therapeutic food needed to save the lives of severely malnourished children by mid-August unless aid is restored. The disturbing scenes came as 221 cross-party MPs demanded Keir Starmer recognise Palestine as a state. But the PM resisted and, writing in the Mirror today, insisted such a move must be part of a wider 'pathway to peace'. But amid the misery, there was a tiny glimmer of hope, as triplets born in April continue to grow. Mum Alaa, 31, and 36-year-old husband Louay feared she would miscarry the tots due to the stress of Israeli airstrikes. The couple, who also have children Alma, seven, and two-year-old Ahmed, had to move three times due to the attacks or military orders – once while she was heavily pregnant. Alaa said: 'We ran in silence. I prayed my babies wouldn't slip away while I escaped death.' With help from an Islamic Relief project, their little girls Israa, Ayla and Aylol were born underweight but alive. Alaa added: 'They are my miracle. My proof that even in war, life insists on being born.' But the babies and their mother could still face problems if they need any more medical care, equipment and drugs fast running out due to the Israeli blockade. Pregnant women are now too malnourished to stand, and even doctors are facing starvation. The women are having operations without anaesthetics. Nurses have to squeeze three or four babies into a single incubator. Doctors have reported a huge increase in miscarriages. Medics at hospitals such as Al Awda in northern Gaza are risking their lives to keep services going. More than 1,500 health workers have been killed while half of all hospitals have had to shut down. Aid workers, too, are suffering from a lack of food. The UN claims at least 100,000 Palestinians are starving. President Emmanuel Macron said France will recognise Palestine as a state immediately, piling pressure on Mr Starmer. A third of MPs in the Commons signed the letter to the PM demanding he follow suit. Charities have demanded Israel allow the UN to distribute aid, which they said is sitting outside Gaza. They called for the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is responsible for what little aid is getting through, to be shut down amid deaths at food queues. GHF insists those tragedies never happened at its site and the Israeli military said troops have not fired on civilians. Ceasefire talks appear to have stalled amid differing demands from Israel and Hamas, which sparked the war with its October 7 attack that killed 1, 200 people. The group also kidnapped 251, some of whom are still in captivity.

‘This is famine': children starve as Gaza aid can only trickle in
For months the warnings of famine in Gaza came and went. In the war's morass of claim and counter-claim, it was hard to tell when occasional hunger became intense. In the last week, though, graphic images made the onset of starvation impossible to ignore. In one, the emaciated corpse of 12-year-old Abdeljawad al-Ghalban, little more than a collection of stick-like bones, lay on a mortuary trolley. He had suffered from cerebral palsy, and his family had been unable to get hold of the specialist treatment he needed. 'He needed a specific kind of milk and food,' his father, Abdelhamid, said. 'He was already sick, but the malnutrition made his condition worse.' Not all the children affected by hunger were sick before. Two-year-old Yazan Abu Foul is clearly wasting away. 'Yazan doesn't suffer from any diseases,' his father, Mahmoud, said on Friday. 'His condition is purely from hunger. Over the past months, I noticed his weight dropping more and more. I took him to several doctors. They all told me the same thing: this is famine.' The United Nations says it is finding it particularly difficult to supply specialist foodstuffs needed for sick and already malnourished children. But it says the general situation has been worsening rapidly for all of Gaza's 2.1 million residents for months, since Israel imposed an aid blockade in March. That was lifted in May, and a new organisation, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-backed startup, was brought in to be the leading aid provider. But neither it nor the UN agencies have managed to restore aid deliveries to their former level and, with much of the Gaza strip levelled by the war, the population is dependent on that aid. 'As the Israeli government's siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families,' a joint statement by 100 aid agencies including Christian Aid, Médecins Sans Frontieres and Mercy Corps said on Wednesday. 'With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.' Israel strongly rejects the accusation that it is responsible, accusing Hamas of looting aid and saying the UN warehouses are full of supplies if only they would deliver it. 'It is time for them to pick it up and stop blaming Israel for the bottlenecks which are occurring,' David Mercer, the Israeli government spokesman, said in reply. While aid supplies have varied during the war, and the situation improved immensely during the ceasefire earlier this year, delivery has become increasingly difficult since the blockade. • 'Mass starvation' across Gaza as US envoy opens ceasefire talks UN agencies say that disinformation and lack of ability to monitor a violent and changing situation exacerbate confusion over how much aid is getting in. International journalists are unable to report first-hand as they are banned by the Israeli authorities from entering Gaza. The agencies say the fact that their warehouses are full is exactly the point they are making. The obstacle is getting it through an Israeli-controlled war zone to the people who need it. They deny that Hamas is responsible for taking aid, although there are certainly cases of local gangsters trying to loot it. The main problems, the agencies say, are the delays caused by the Israeli inspection process and that convoys are mobbed the minute they hit the road — an inevitable consequence of the desperation among the population. 'We have always been flagging that we have no systematic diversion by Hamas,' Antoine Renard, head of World Food Programme (WFP) operations in Gaza, said. He drew attention to the delays affecting a WFP convoy on Sunday. He said it took 20 hours for 19 lorries to arrive at the warehouse on the Gaza side of the border crossing, load up, and begin delivery. The Israeli military took more than eight hours to inspect the lorries, a regular part of the process, though nothing untoward was found. Another six to seven hours was spent waiting for Israeli approvals to travel. The UN estimates that between 500 and 600 lorries a day are needed to supply enough food for all Gaza's residents. • Who are the US military contractors delivering aid to starving Gazans? The issue is not just with such delays. Both UN and GHF distributors face chaotic and dangerous supply routes, which are regularly overwhelmed by the people trying to reach distribution points. WFP lorries are mobbed the minute they hit the road, which is often little more than a smashed-up track. Convoys have to take routes determined in advance by the Israeli military, and which residents are well aware of. When reaching GHF distribution points, residents are told to queue on specific routes, and those who stray risk being shot by Israeli forces who are still conducting military operations throughout the strip and guarding the aid sites. In part, this is a result of the blockade in March and the shift of aid distribution by Israel away from the UN towards primarily the GHF. The UN system focuses on distributing aid to kitchens and bakeries run by aid agencies. But when aid stopped getting into Gaza, that system collapsed. The few kitchens and bakeries that remain cannot find fuel and are often burning waste for their ovens instead. Much aid is now distributed directly to families instead. This means every aid distribution operation becomes a steeplechase among the desperate, as the fittest compete to evade shooting, race to the aid points and grapple with each other for such food parcels as arrive. In this Darwinian process, the sick, the elderly, and lone women with children to care for are left behind. The GHF defends its provision of aid, and after a difficult start it has indeed handed out tens of millions of food packages. But unlike the UN, which provides large boxes of raw ingredients — flour, pasta, lentils and tomato paste — designed to feed a family for a month, the GHF distributes meals that it says will keep a family of five going for three or four days. Then the family's young men, if they have them, have to go risk their lives going back for more aid. Renaud described an environment where, when aid deliveries resumed in May, the chaos had reached a tipping point. Beforehand, however poor conditions were, residents believed that the agencies would be able to supply food eventually. Now, that belief has gone, a vicious circle in which the harder it is to deliver food, the more desperate people storm the routes and the convoys, making the process even harder. • Starvation and despair in Gaza: 'Aid is just another injustice' Things can change, and may have already started to do so as this week's grim photographs started to emerge. Israeli inspections have eased in recent days. By Wednesday 150 UN lorries were able to get through, 93 for the World Food Programme alone — a sign of what is possible, though nowhere near enough. Food supplied by agencies does sometimes end up on the local market, and the prices tell a story. During the ceasefire, a one-kilo bag of flour cost $1.50. That went up to $100 by last weekend. By the end of the week it was down to $15-20. The question remains whether this marginal improvement will save Yazan and other children. Scores have died already this month. As he treated Sila Barbakh, an 11-month-old girl who weighs just seven and a half pounds, Dr Ahmed Al-Farra, a paediatrician, said she was basically healthy. 'This is primary malnutrition,' he said. 'She has lost subcutaneous tissue, lost muscle mass. She needs vitamins. She needs supplementation. But if she gets good nutrition, she will survive.'

At least 652 children died from malnutrition in Nigeria in last six months, MSF says
ABUJA, July 25 (Reuters) - At least 652 children died from malnutrition in the Nigerian state of Katsina in the first six months of 2025, Mèdecìns Sans Frontières said on Friday, an outcome it said it was due to funding cuts by international donors. Katsina, in the north of the country, is plagued by insecurity. "We are currently witnessing massive budget cuts, particularly from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, which are having real impact on the treatment of malnourished children," said MSF, also known as Doctors Without Borders. On Wednesday, the United Nations food agency said it will be forced to suspend food and nutrition aid for 1.3 million people in Nigeria's insurgency-hit northeast at the end of July because stocks have run out. Nigeria has budgeted 200 billion naira ($130 million) this year to cushion the shortfall from the withdrawal of funding to the health sector by the U.S. MSF said the number of children in Katsina with the most severe form of malnutrition has risen by about 208% this year compared with the same period last year and "unfortunately 652 children have already died in our facilities since the beginning of 2025". Banditry is rife in Katsina where insecurity has displaced many people, forcing them to abandon their farms. The government, alongside local civilian vigilante groups, has struggled to contain the activities of bandits. ($1 = 1,530.8800 naira)
