Hospitals in Gaza have reported the killing of more than a dozen people, half of them food-seekers, by Israeli fire on Saturday as Palestinians endured severe risks in their search for food

U.S. President Donald Trump's Mideast envoy on Friday visited a food distribution site in the Gaza Strip operated by an Israeli-backed American contractor whose efforts to deliver food to the hunger-stricken territory have been marred by violence and controversy.

Steve Witkoff visited a site run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in what he said was an effort to create a new aid plan.

At least 91 people were killed near aid centers across the Gaza Strip between Wednesday and Thursday, according to reports from Hamas and local hospitals. Israeli forces were reported shooting at the crowds.
