One man, holding his dead son, said: \u201cHe just wanted to eat, what could I do?\u201d\nIt\u2019s unclear exactly where the shooting took place. One eyewitness, Hisham Dargam, said it had occurred some 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from an aid distribution point run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the controversial Israeli- and US-backed organization.\n\u201cGunfire erupted from soldiers and tanks, as if they were in a battle with us,\u201d he said.\nThe Israeli military said troops had \u201cidentified suspects who approached them during operational activity in the Rafah area\u201d about one kilometer from the aid site \u201cat night-time when it\u2019s not active.\u201d\nThe Israel Defense Forces said troops fire warning shots and was investigating reports of casualties.\nThe GHF denied there were any incidents \u201cat or near\u201d any of its distribution sites on Saturday.\n\u201cThe reported IDF activity resulting in fatalities occurred hours before our sites opened and our understanding is most of the casualties occurred several kilometers away from the nearest GHF site,\u201d it said. The GHF added that it had repeatedly warned those seeking aid not to travel to its sites overnight or in early morning hours.\nHowever, many Gazans have told CNN that they have to travel to distribution points several hours before they open to have a chance of receiving aid. Food in the strip is scarce, and people are starving, according to multiple UN assessments.\nMost Gazans also have no means of transportation to travel to GHF centers, so have to walk long distances to reach the sites.\nPalestinians recite a prayer over a body at the Nasser hospital on July 19, 2025. \nPalestinians recite a prayer over a body at the Nasser hospital on July 19, 2025. AFP\/Getty Images\nA doctor at the Nasser hospital, Travis Melin, said that many of the victims Saturday had \u201csevere\u201d gunshot wounds to the torso and head.\nHundreds of people have been killed while trying to access aid in Gaza since the GHF \u2013 a private group - began operating in the Strip in May, according to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Nearly 800 people were killed in this way between late May and July 7, it said, 615 of whom were killed near GHF sites.\n\u201cFood here is a luxury of the privileged,\u201d Dr. Melin told CNN. \u201cIf you\u2019re lucky enough to have some money left, you\u2019re the only people that can afford actual food. Everyone else is going to these massacre sites\u2026 even though they know it comes with this incredible amount of danger,\u201d he added.\nThe director of communications for UNRWA, the United Nations agency that provides relief to Palestinian refugees, told CNN that the current aid distribution system in Gaza is a \u201cdeath trap for starving Palestinians\u201d calling for the organization to again be allowed to lead aid efforts.\nFaltering ceasefire talks\nMeanwhile, US President Donald Trump struck an optimistic note regarding ongoing ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas.\n\u201cIn Gaza, we got most of the hostages back,\u201d he said on Friday evening. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have another ten coming very shortly, and we hope to have that finished pretty quickly, and (Middle East Envoy) Steve Witkoff has been fantastic, he\u2019s done a great job in that.\u201d\nDespite Trump\u2019s positive outlook, the two parties to the conflict are again blaming one another for another faltering round of ceasefire talks, releasing statements on Friday accusing the other of dragging their feet in negotiations.\nHamas warned that it \u201ccannot guarantee\u201d that it will agree to any pauses to the conflict in the future if Israel does not agree to work towards a full end to the war in the current round of talks.\nIn the past, Israel has not been keen to agree to any permanent ceasefire, stating that it wants to continue fighting in the Gaza Strip until Hamas is eradicated.\nHamas spokesperson Abu Obaida said that, if Israel does not comply with its demands, the militant group could also not guarantee that it would release 10 living hostages as a part of the ceasefire deal.\n\u201cIt has become clear to us that (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu\u2019s government is not genuinely concerned about the captives, simply because they are soldiers,\u201d he continued.\nAn Israeli official told reporters that one key sticking point in the talks is Hamas\u2019 refusal to discuss what negotiators have dubbed the \u201crelease key\u201d - the criteria and ratio through which individuals are identified for release in a swap - until there is a finalized agreement on where Israel will position its troops.\nIsrael is willing to be flexible in talks, the source said, accusing Hamas of \u201cfoot-dragging.\u201d\nCNN\u2019s Abeer Salman, Dana Karni and Donald Judd contributed to this report.",
