At least 36 people were killed near an aid site in Gaza by Israeli fire.

Indirect talks for ceasefire continue, while hostages remain unrescued. The humanitarian crisis deepens.

An incident in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least 36 people, allegedly due to Israeli warning shots near an inactive aid distribution site, according to local health authorities and witnesses. Miscommunication reportedly led to civilian fatalities, escalating the already tense humanitarian situation.

Efforts from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to coordinate safe aid distribution continue amid security concerns, drawing criticism over safety protocols. The ongoing conflict has resulted in numerous civilian casualties and accusations of misconduct by Israeli forces, who deny wrongdoing.

In the broader conflict, indirect talks are underway in Doha for a potential ceasefire and hostage deal intermediary by international actors, though hope for resolution remains thin. Families of the hostages, like Einav Zangauker, continue to plead for a motive towards peace.
