DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza has experienced its deadliest day in over 21 months of conflict, with at least 85 Palestinians killed while seeking aid, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. On Sunday, Israeli forces reportedly opened fire on crowds near aid convoys, killing dozens in northern Gaza. The U.N. confirmed massive crowds gathered as 25 aid trucks entered the area. Israel’s military claimed it targeted groups posing threats and accused Hamas of creating chaos. Meanwhile, new evacuation orders for central Gaza have alarmed residents and disrupted aid efforts. The ongoing conflict has killed over 58,800 Palestinians, with Gaza facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
