Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. Health officials in Gaza and the International Committee of the Red Cross say 27 Palestinians have been killed in the enclave today and and dozens injured by the Israeli military. Palestinians were trying to get food delivered by a private U S backed contractor in Gaza. NPR's Hadil Al Shalchi reports. Disorder has continued around delivery of the food as aid organizations warn Gaza is close to famine.

It was another day of chaos and confusion as thousands of Palestinians tried to receive food from a site delivering supplies in the south of Gaza. Witnesses who were approaching the Gaza Humanitarian foundation, or ghf, site said the Israeli military shot into the crowd. The Israeli military said that it initially fired warning shots to disperse a crowd that had gotten too close to troops and then directed fire near individuals who continued to approach them. The military said it was aware of casualties and was investigating. GHF insisted there was no shooting in its facility and said the incident took place beyond their, quote, secure distribution site. The United nations said that aid distribution has become a, quote, death trap. Hadil Al Shalgi, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
