The UN human rights office said on Friday that at least 1,760 Palestinians had been killed while seeking aid in Gaza since late May, an increase of several hundred since its last published figure at the beginning of August. “Since May 27, and as of August 13, we have recorded that at least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid; 994 in the vicinity of GHF [Gaza Humanitarian Foundation] sites and 766 along the routes of supply convoys. Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military,” the agency’s office for the Palestinian territories said.
