Dozens killed in Gaza during aid distribution

Gaza officials reported that Israeli forces killed and wounded dozens of Palestinians who had gathered near the Zikim crossing to receive aid from UN trucks. The Gaza health ministry stated over 60 people died and more than 100 were injured. Israel's military said soldiers fired warning shots and opened fire to address an "immediate threat," but disputed the reported death toll, stating it was continuing its examination. The UN World Food Program confirmed its convoy encountered large crowds and came under fire. Aid distribution in Gaza has been chaotic, with reports of Israeli soldiers firing on crowds seeking supplies.
