CAIRO - Israeli fire and airstrikes killed at least 41 Palestinians across Gaza on Sunday, local health authorities said, at least five of them near two aid sites operated by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Israeli occupation forces shot and killed several Palestinians on Sunday morning across various regions of the Gaza Strip.

Israel’s use of aid as a weapon of war has provoked outrage. It has prevented essential supplies from entering Gaza. And yet its new effort to distribute aid is also proving deeply controversial. Hamas says it is a front for the idf. International aid organisations have decried it. What is this new network and what is it trying to do?

Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization which accused Hamas of carrying out the assault.

An aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists was intercepted by Israeli forces en route to Gaza and arrived at an Israeli port on Monday. Turkey calls it an illegal and "heinous attack."
