DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Witnesses and health workers say Israeli forces opened fire near two aid distribution sites run by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as crowds of hungry Palestinians sought food. They say at least 10 people were killed Saturday. That’s a day after U.S. officials visited a GHF site and the U.S. ambassador called the troubled system “an incredible feat.” Nearly a week has passed since Israel announced humanitarian pauses and airdrops meant to get more food to Gaza’s over 2 million people. Israel is under international pressure amid scenes of starving children. The United Nations says far too little aid still comes in.
