More than 90 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces while seeking food, Gaza officials say

At least 93 Palestinians queuing for food aid have been killed, according to officials in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, most of them reportedly shot by Israeli forces at the Zikim crossing.

Many of those killed were shot during chaotic scenes at the Zikim crossing between Israel and northern Gaza, according to officials. The UN World Food Programme reported that a convoy of 25 aid trucks entering Gaza was quickly overwhelmed by “massive crowds of hungry civilians” – chaos that soon turned deadly as gunfire erupted.
