At least 56 Palestinians have been killed since dawn across Gaza, including 38 people who were seeking aid for their hungry families at distribution points, mostly in the Rafah area in the south, medical sources have told Al Jazeera.
The latest carnage on Monday came at the controversial sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is backed by the United States and Israel and operates in areas that are tightly controlled by the Israeli military and that critics have slammed as “human slaughterhouses”.
The United Nations human rights chief condemned Israel’s conduct of its war in the besieged enclave, where deadly Israeli attacks continue unabated as the country exchanges missile attacks with regional foe Iran.
More than 300 people have been killed so far near the perilous distribution sites and more than 2,000 wounded since GHF began its operations.
