Israeli attacks have killed at least two people and wounded many waiting for aid northwest of Gaza City, Al Jazeera quotes a source at Al-Shifa Hospital as saying.

Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said more than 900 Palestinians have been killed at aid sites since late May when the US-backed GHF was established.

The UN and humanitarian aid agencies have long denounced the GHF for its “weaponisation” of aid in Gaza and called on Israel to allow for the entry of humanitarian assistance that has been blocked at the border.
