Gaza hospitals say 18 killed by Israeli fire as aid site shootings continue to rise

UN says 859 have died near GHF sites since May while hospitals report growing number of hunger-related deaths

Hospitals in Gaza say Israeli fire killed more than a dozen people on Saturday, eight of them while trying to get food, as malnutrition-related deaths continue to rise in the territory.

The bloodshed comes a day after Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, visited an aid distribution site run by the Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
