"Tragedy Unfolds: Chaos and Gunshot Wounds in Gaza Aid Convoy Rush"

Following a rush on an aid convoy in Gaza, the UN reports that many of the roughly 200 people still being treated for injuries suffered gunshot wounds. Hamas accuses Israel of firing at civilians, while Israel claims most deaths resulted from a stampede after its troops fired warning shots. The incident occurred as the convoy moved along a coastal road, and leaders worldwide are calling for a full investigation. The World Food Programme warns of an imminent famine in northern Gaza, which has received little aid recently, and where an estimated 300,000 people are living with little food or clean water. US President Joe Biden announces the US will begin dropping aid into Gaza by air.
