Dozens of people were killed and injured near an aid site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a Trump administration-backed aid group.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it was working to improve operations, a day after health workers said at least 27 Palestinians were killed near a distribution center.

Palestinians on their way to receive aid from a distribution site in southern Gaza have come under fire for a third consecutive day, with nearly 30 people killed and dozens wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and Nasser hospital.

The BBC has hit back at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt after she attacked its coverage of the war in Gaza. Leavitt accused the British public service broadcaster of spreading “misinformation” over the way it covered claims that Israel had killed Palestinians near an aid distribution center on Sunday.

The BBC has rejected incorrect White House criticism of its Gaza coverage, describing a claim that it had taken down a story as "completely wrong". At Tuesday's White House briefing President Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused the BBC of taking "the word of Hamas" when reporting on the number of people killed in a shooting near an aid distribution site on Sunday.
