At least 36 people were killed by Israeli fire while they were on their way to an aid distribution site in Gaza at dawn Saturday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry and Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group which runs the aid site, said there were no incidents or fatalities there yesterday and that it has repeatedly warned people not to travel to its distribution points in the dark.The Israeli military said it was reviewing the incident.The UN has called the GHF's model unsafe and a breach of humanitarian impartiality standards, which GHF denies.On Tuesday, the UN rights office in Geneva said it had recorded at least 875 killings within the past six weeks in the vicinity of aid sites and food convoys in Gaza - the majority of them close to GHF distribution points.At least 50 more people were killed in other Israeli attacks across Gaza Saturday, health officials said, including one strike that killed the head of the Hamas-run police force in Nuseirat in central Gaza and 11 of his family members.
