ENVOY VISIT FOLLOWS 'REGULAR BLOODBATHS' CLOSE TO AID CENTRES
-
President Donald Trump's special envoy promised a plan to deliver more food to Gaza after inspecting a US-backed distribution centre on Friday, as the United Nations said Israeli forces had killed hundreds of hungry Palestinians waiting for aid over the past two months.
The visit by US envoy Steve Witkoff came as a report from global advocacy group Human Rights Watch accused Israeli forces of presiding over “regular bloodbaths” close to aid points run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The UN human rights office in the Palestinian territories said at least 1,373 Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza had been killed since May 27 — 105 of them in the last two days of July.
“Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military,” the UN office said, breaking down the death toll into 859 killed near GHF sites and 514 along routes used by UN and aid agency convoys.
