TL;DR Summary

UN Secretary General António Guterres has called for an independent investigation into the deaths of over 100 Palestinians during an aid delivery in Gaza, with international criticism mounting against Israel. The incident occurred as civilians crowded around aid lorries, resulting in at least 117 deaths and over 760 injuries. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the incident, but the US blocked a draft statement blaming Israeli forces for "opening fire". The UN is warning of a looming famine in the north of the territory, where an estimated 300,000 people are living with little food or clean water.
