Nearly 800 Palestinians killed trying to access aid in Gaza since May - UN

Of the total number of people killed while receiving food assistance since May 27, 615 were in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundations (GHF) sites, said an OHCHR spokeswoman.

"We've recorded now 798 killings, including 615 in the vicinity of the GHF sites," from the time GHF operations began on May 27 until July 7, United Nations rights office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said. "This is nearly 800 people who have been killed while trying to access aid."

An officially private effort, the US- and Israeli-backed GHF began operations on May 26 after Israel halted supplies into the Gaza Strip for more than two months, sparking warnings of imminent famine.
