Twenty Palestinians were killed and dozens injured when an aid truck overturned in central Gaza, reportedly after crowds gathered around it, forcing the vehicle onto an unsafe road. The incident highlights the ongoing dangers surrounding aid deliveries in Gaza, where humanitarian groups warn of widespread starvation and increasing deaths from malnutrition amid the ongoing conflict. Accusations have been exchanged between Hamas and Israel over responsibility for the unsafe conditions, with Hamas blaming Israel for forcing drivers onto dangerous routes and Israel citing interference and theft by Hamas. Meanwhile, Jordan reported that Israeli protesters blocked another Gaza-bound aid convoy, further complicating efforts to deliver essential supplies. The situation is exacerbated by continued fighting, evacuation orders, and a rising civilian death toll, as international pressure mounts on Israel to allow more aid into the enclave.
