Overview

• On June 20, Gaza’s civil defense reported at least 43 people killed by Israeli forces, including 26 who were waiting to receive humanitarian aid.
• Since late May, 397 people have died and more than 3,000 have been injured at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites during chaotic and violent aid rollouts.
• The Israeli military says its troops fired warning shots at perceived threats near the Netzarim corridor and denies knowledge of any resulting casualties.
• A humanitarian blockade imposed by Israel in March has led to severe shortages of food, medicine and other essentials, prompting the UN to sound the alarm on a looming famine.
• UNICEF warns that Gaza’s water supply systems are collapsing, describing the enclave as facing a man-made drought that intensifies its emergency state.
