Israeli Tank Fire Kills Dozens of Palestinian Aid Seekers in Latest Gaza Massacre
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Al Jazeera reports that Israeli attacks have killed at least 74 people
in Gaza since dawn, including 56 Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid
in Khan Younis. Many were killed by Israel tank fire. On Monday, another
38 aid seekers were killed, fueling growing international condemnation
of the shadowy U.S.- and Israel-backed aid operation Gaza Humanitarian
Foundation. Anna Halford of Doctors Without Borders described the
operation as "neither a humanitarian enterprise nor a system. This is
basically lethal chaos." U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk has accused
Israel of "inflicting horrifying, unconscionable suffering on
Palestinians."
