25 people die in Israeli attacks in Gaza: 12 sought food
Many were injured in crowds or were victims of theft or violence immediately after receiving essential food help.
UN, in a statement
At least 1,760 Palestinians were killed while seeking help in the same period. Of the total, 994 deaths were near UN and 766 non -militarized places along supply trains routes, according to the International Organization.
No one should be killed for trying to get help.

Getting help is dangerous because few supplies reach the destination
Less than half of planned humanitarian aid deliveries come to their destination without interference. Of the 12 humanitarian aid missions that demanded coordination with the Israeli authorities the day before yesterday, only five arrived at their destination without impediments, according to the UN. Also according to the organization, four missions were canceled by the organizers, and three others were prevented at first and only later released.
Lack of food causes mass malnutrition. “Hospitals are having difficulty dealing with increasing malnutrition and many units have been without beds to treat patients,” said Stéphane Dujaric UN spokesman.
