Among the casualties were 36 Palestinians, shot dead by Israeli forces as they waited for humanitarian assistance. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-backed aid organisation operating with Israeli coordination since late May, has come under increasing scrutiny. Elsewhere across Gaza, Israeli airstrikes and artillery continued to pound civilian areas. Residential neighbourhoods throughout Gaza City also came under attack. Israeli forces also struck targets in northern Gaza, including a cluster of tents near a UN-run school in eastern Gaza City, killing seven people and injuring 17.
