Israel kills 56 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them desperately seeking aid

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”.
