The Israeli army said that the forces operating in the Noosira region launched warning shots overnight after a group approached them in a possible threat, but they were not aware of any injuries.

19 other people were killed in three Israeli air strikes in the north and south of Gaza, according to the Civil Defense Agency.

Among them is eight date to died when a house was injured in the Zaitoun area in Gaza City.

Regarding the air strikes, the Israeli army said it was “working to dismantle Hamas’s military capabilities” in the region.

The Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Wednesday afternoon that at least 140 people have been killed over the past 24 hours.

The ministry said on Tuesday that 51 people were killed while awaiting assistance in the southern city of Khan Yunis, while the United Nations was martyred in health partner organizations as reaching more than 60 years.

The BBC’s eyewitnesses told that Israeli tanks and aircraft opened fire, while the crowds gathered near a charitable community center and a warehouse belonging to the United Nations World Food Program.

The Israeli army admitted that its forces were in the area and said the details of the incident were under review.

In a separate incident on Tuesday, the Civil Defense Agency said that seven other people were asking for aid had been killed and many others were injured in Rashid Street, northwest of Gaza City.

A doctor at the Shiva Hospital in Gaza City told Reuters news agency that the deaths were the result of Israeli air strikes and that the injuries caused by the shooting.

Fida Masoud said that her son “went to bring a bag of flour and returned (injured) in a bag.”

Meanwhile, a local journalist published footage he said he showed His cousin celebrates after collecting a bag of flour for his family.

“The 50 kg bag. I pulled it from under the truck, a bush from death,” he announced.

Nearly 400 people were killed while trying to get assistance since May 26, when the US -backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opened the first three distribution center, according to the Ministry of Health.

GHF, which uses US private security contractors, aims to overcome the United Nations as a major resource to help 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza.

The United Nations and other relief groups refuse to cooperate with the new regime, saying that it contradicts the humanitarian principles of neutrality, neutrality and independence.

They also warn that Gaza residents face catastrophic levels of hunger after an Israeli -Israeli siege for 11 weeks that were partially mitigated a month ago.

The United States and Israel say the GHF system will prevent aid by Hamas, which the group denies.

On Wednesday, the head of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA) has condemned it as “lame and from the Middle Ages.”

“This is a disgrace to our collective awareness.”

GHF did not comment, but she said in a statement that she had so far distributed 30 million meals through the three distribution centers “without an accident.”

“We are still focusing on an individual mission: to feed the people of Gaza – and we are committed to expanding our efforts to reach more in need.”

Meanwhile, the British Program Program warned that 9,000 tons of food aid sent during the past four weeks were a “small part” of what was required in Gaza.

He also said that the desperate need for food caused large crowds of gathering along the known transportation methods, hoping to intercept and reach humanitarian supplies during transportation.

“It is not possible to expand a huge domain of food distributions to stabilize the situation, calm anxiety and rebuild confidence within the societies that will come more food,” she said.

The Israeli military body cots reported that 85 trucks of aid entered the south and north of Gaza through the Kerem shalom and Erez West crossings on Tuesday, 66 of which were collected. She said 380 other trucks of aid were waiting for the collection of the United Nations.
