At least 61 people were killed this weekend, including some who were waiting in line for aid, “a number of starving children” and a group recovered in Khan Younis, according to a spokesperson for Gaza’s Health Ministry.

For months, the U.N. and experts have warned that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition.

Israel’s military said it fired warning shots to distance a crowd “in response to an immediate threat” and it was not aware of any casualties.

An analysis compiled by USAID officials says they failed to find evidence that Hamas engaged in widespread diversion of assistance in Gaza, ABC News has learned.

The United Nations and experts say that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition.

A joint statement called for an immediate ceasefire and said that “withholding essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable."

The Kingdom of Jordan will airdrop humanitarian aid into Gaza as Palestinians face widespread starvation and diplomatic talks over a ceasefire breakdown.

The UN agency for Palestinians says it has thousands of truckloads of supplies near Gaza which it wants to deliver.
