Over 1,370 Palestinians killed while seeking food: UN
Despite Israel's 27 July announcement of daily military pauses in western Gaza 'to improve humanitarian responses,' Israeli forces continued attacks along food convoy routes and near GHF aid sites, the OHCHR said in a press release issued on Friday. '[The office] has no information that these Palestinians were directly participating in hostilities or posed any threat to Israeli security forces or other individuals. Each person killed or injured had been desperately struggling for survival, not only for themselves, but also for their families and dependents,' it said.

UN says 1,373 killed while waiting for aid in Gaza since late May
The UN human rights office said on Friday that 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for aid in the shortage-stricken Gaza Strip since late May, most of them by the Israeli military. "In total, since 27 May, at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while seeking food; 859 in the vicinity of (US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) sites and 514 along the routes of food convoys," the UN agency's office for the Palestinian territories said in a statement. "Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military," it added. Gaza's civil defence agency said 11 people were killed by Israeli gunfire and air strikes on Friday, including two who were waiting near an aid distribution site inside the Palestinian territory. Palestinians carry sacks of flour taken from a humanitarian aid convoy en route to Gaza City. AP Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that five people were killed in a strike near the southern city of Khan Yunis, and four more in a separate strike on a vehicle in central Gaza's Deir el-Balah. The Israeli army told AFP it could not confirm the strikes without specific coordinates. Two other people were killed and more than 70 injured by Israeli fire while waiting for aid near a food distribution centre run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) between Khan Yunis and the nearby city of Rafah, the civil defence said. The army did not immediately respond to the report. A Palestinian is carried after being wounded while trying to reach trucks carrying humanitarian aid en route to Gaza City. AP Thousands of Gazans have gathered each day near aid distribution points in Gaza, including the four managed by GHF, whose operations have been marred by chaotic scenes and near-daily reports of Israeli forces firing on people waiting to collect rations. GHF has denied that fatal shootings have occurred in the immediate vicinity of its aid points. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency and other parties. Israeli restrictions on the entry of goods and aid into Gaza since the start of the war nearly 22 months ago have led to shortages of food and essential goods, including medicine, medical supplies and fuel, which hospitals rely on to power their generators. The shortages were exacerbated by a more than two-month total blockade on aid imposed by Israel, which began easing the stoppage in late May as GHF was beginning its operations. Israel's defence ministry body overseeing civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, COGAT, said Friday that more than 200 trucks of aid had been collected and distributed by the UN and international organisations the previous day. The UN says Gaza requires at least 500 trucks of aid per day. COGAT added that four tankers of fuel for the UN had entered the Palestinian territory, and that 43 pallets of aid were airdropped in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan.

EU delegation to the Palestinians condemns 'No Other Land' crew member's body being withheld by Israel
The European Union delegation to the Palestinians announced it and other diplomatic missions "extended condolences to the community of Um al-Khair after an Israeli settler killed Awdah Hathaleen", and criticised the withholding of his body in a post on X on Friday. "A military closure was imposed, his body remains withheld and a dignified burial is refused," the post said. "Since January 2023, over 2,800 Palestinians have been displaced due to settler violence and related coercive practices. In 2025 alone, settlers have reportedly killed four Palestinians, including Hathaleen, and injured more than 350. "Settlements are illegal under international law. Israel must take concrete steps to prevent settler violence against Palestinians and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable". The English teacher, activist, and father of three was killed on Monday.
