Israel Kills 44 Waiting for Aid as War's Death Toll Passes 56,000, According to Authorities
- Israeli forces fired on large groups of Palestinians gathered at food distribution centers in southern and central Gaza on Tuesday, resulting in at least 44 deaths.
- The recent violence occurred after Israel resumed hostilities on March 18, ending a two-month ceasefire in a conflict that has lasted 21 months and began when Hamas launched an unexpected assault on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

- The shootings suggest ongoing dangers for civilians seeking aid in Israeli military zones, while the humanitarian situation remains critical and contested by claims of aid diversion.
