The UN’s Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, OHCHR, has said it recorded 11 incidents involving attacks on Palestinians providing security to aid convoys or seeking aid since the beginning of August, resulting in the killing of at least 46 people, Al Jazeera reports.

In the period from May 27 to August 13, OHCHR said at least 1,760 people were killed while seeking aid, including 994 in the vicinity of sites operated by the controversial GHF.

“These attacks are part of a recurring pattern, suggesting deliberate targeting by the Israeli military,” it said in a statement.
