The UN has strongly condemned attacks on Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid in Gaza, and has called for an immediate and independent investigation into the incident.
"We strongly condemn the loss of life and injuries to Palestinians seeking assistance in Gaza and call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for the perpetrators to be held accountable ," Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari said during a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East.
Since June 17, at least 580 Palestinians have been killed either trying to reach Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution points or waiting for aid.
He recalled several deadly incidents, including a June 17 attack in Khan Younis where an Israeli tank opened fire on a crowd waiting for aid from the World Food Program, killing at least 50 people and wounding 200 others.
On June 24, Israeli troops reportedly fired near aid distribution sites in central and southern Gaza, killing 49 people and wounding nearly 200 others.
Khiari warned that the UN will not engage in any method of aid distribution that does not uphold the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality.
Trump's envoy to Ukraine denies Russia's obstruction claims and calls for 'immediate ceasefire'.
Khiari criticized Israel for blocking aid for nearly 80 days and said the supplies now entering Gaza are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of the population.
