At least 67 Palestinians were killed while waiting for UN aid trucks in northern Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The UN World Food Programme said its convoy was met by large crowds of hungry civilians who came under gunfire shortly after crossing into the territory.

The Israeli military claimed it fired warning shots to prevent a perceived threat and disputed the reported death toll. Gaza’s civil defence later said 93 people were killed across the Strip on Sunday, including 80 in the north, according to BBC.

Hospitals remain overwhelmed, with doctors warning of growing famine. One woman told BBC Arabic that people are surviving on “only water and salt”, and children are dying from hunger.
