Gaza authorities say 27 killed in Israeli attack near food aid site NHK

A: Hey buddy! Did you catch the news today?
B: Nope, what's up?

A: There was an attack in Gaza, 27 people were killed and over 90 got injured near an aid distribution center.
B: Whoa, that sounds serious! Was it reported by the authorities already?

A: Yep, they announced it on Tuesday. The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been giving out food there for a week now and distributed over 7 million meals.
B: That's good to hear, people getting aid. But why did an attack happen near the center?

A: Well, the Israeli Defense Forces said their troops saw some suspicious individuals near the site, so they warned them and fired shots when they didn't retreat.
B: Wait, were there really casualties?

A: Sadly, yes. Footage from a hospital in Khan Younis showed injured children and dead bodies being brought in. Reports say that people waiting for aid in the designated area have been targeted.
B: That's terrible! I can't believe they're turning an aid distribution into a death trap.

A: Exactly, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini even said so on Sunday. They're looking into the details of this incident now.
