Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill 41 Palestinians
In Gaza, a series of attacks by Israeli forces resulted in the deaths of many Palestinians.
Most of the deaths happened near places where people were trying to get food aid, and the aid was supplied by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
The UN has said the situation is bad because of the ongoing conflict and lack of aid.
There have been warnings about the dangerous area, and the Israeli military has said they are checking into the events.
Efforts continue to reach a truce, but both sides have strong views and aren't agreeing on key issues.
Israeli gunfire and airstrikes killed at least 41 Palestinians in Gaza.
Most casualties occurred near an aid site operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Health officials reported at least 25 deaths near an aid site and six others near another GHF site.
An additional 10 deaths were reported in an Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis.
The U.N. condemned the killings, citing the humanitarian crisis.
