A first boat carrying 200 tonnes of food aid was slowly making its way into the Gaza Strip on Thursday as efforts to provide additional humanitarian help to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian enclave intensified. Although Israel later claimed a Hamas fighter was killed in the rocket strike, the primary UN humanitarian organisation in Gaza claimed an employee was killed in an Israeli strike that occurred a day earlier that targeted one of its facilities in the southern city of Rafah. In the wake of over five months of fighting, starvation is about to strike 2.4 million people in the region, and donor countries, relief organisations, and nonprofits are working tirelessly to get food there. After bombing a UN food aid shipment to Gaza, the Israeli army started shooting at civilians there.
