Tensions Escalate: UN Accuses Israel Amid Gaza Aid Crisis

The UN World Food Programme has accused the Israeli military of shooting at Palestinians seeking food aid from a convoy in northern Gaza, marking one of the deadliest incidents for aid-seekers in the ongoing conflict. The Health Ministry reported at least 80 fatalities.

Israeli officials claimed they used warning shots to mitigate an immediate threat, disputing the death toll. The rising violence has exacerbated the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where people urgently need food and aid amidst ongoing ceasefire negotiations.

Meanwhile, Israel has expanded evacuation zones, suggesting new battlegrounds, while accusations against the Israeli military continue to mount as both sides endure significant casualties.
