Gaza's Fight for Survival: A Desperate Scramble for Aid

In the Gaza Strip, people are risking their lives to get food. The area is in a bad way because of a long fight and a blockade. Israel has recently let in more aid, but it's still not enough. On Monday, many people rushed to get food from planes and trucks. Some were hurt or killed in the chaos. Since May, hundreds have died trying to reach aid. The Israeli military says it only fires warning shots, but others say it's more serious. Some countries have tried dropping food from planes. But this is risky and doesn't help much. Many packages fall into the sea or dangerous areas. People still try to get them, even if it means risking their lives. At least 16 people died near the Zikim Crossing on Sunday. Another 10 died waiting for aid trucks. Witnesses say Israeli forces shot at the crowd. The military hasn't commented yet. A man was hurt when an aid package fell on his tent. People are angry and frustrated. They say the situation is unfair and dangerous. The Gaza Health Ministry says over 60, 900 Palestinians have died in the conflict. Israel disputes this but hasn't given its own numbers.
