Overview

• On August 6, a humanitarian aid truck overturned in Nuseirat, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens as desperate civilians sought food.
• Gaza health authorities said the vehicle flipped on a previously bombarded, overcrowded road, crushing those gathered around it.
• The Gaza government accused Israel’s blockade of closing border crossings and forcing aid convoys onto hazardous detours.
• The Israel Defense Forces noted that 110 pallets of food were airdropped into Gaza, a relief method the UN and aid groups deem insufficient and risky.
• United Nations officials and other international bodies renewed demands for the immediate opening of secure, sustained land corridors into Gaza.
