  • On June 17, the defense service said more than 50 civilians gathered at a World Central Kitchen aid truck in Khan Younes were killed in drone and tank strikes, bringing two-day site deaths to over 80.
  • The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed nearly 28 million meals since late May but its operations have been marred by chaotic scenes and deadly violence.
