At least 85 Palestinians were killed in northern Gaza near the Zikim crossing while attempting to access humanitarian aid, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. The UN says its aid trucks were overwhelmed by "massive crowds of hungry people'" that came under gunfire, while the Israeli army disputes the death toll and claims to have fired only warning shots. Eyewitnesses accuse Israeli troops of opening fire on unarmed civilians.

In central Gaza’s Nuseirat, only minimal food relief reached residents. The UN has criticized Israel for blocking aid despite having supplies sufficient to feed Gaza’s population for three months.

Meanwhile, new Israeli evacuation orders and strikes in Deir al-Balah signal a possible expansion of ground operations. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening amid growing international concern.
