The Israeli army opened fire on Palestinians with live bullets as they waited to receive food aid at the Kuwait roundabout south of Gaza City.

The Media Office in Gaza said in a statement that Israel's targeting of Palestinians is an indication that it wants to further increase hunger and continue the siege and humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
Holding the US, Israel and the international community responsible for the worsening humanitarian situation in the enclave, it called for an end to the "genocidal war" and the entry of 1,000 trucks of aid, especially to northern Gaza.
The statement did not provide further information about casualties.
Israel has launched a deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border incursion by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7. The ensuing Israeli bombardment has killed 30,534 people and injured 71,920 others with mass destruction and shortages of necessities.
The Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
