“We’ve been walking since early morning, with no food or water. Every day we’re getting flour and oil, flour and oil, we need fish, we need meat, we need to live. We want this war to be over, we’re tired, people are dying and people are hungry.”

STORYLINE:
Thousands of men, women, and children continued to walk to get food, despite at least 34 Palestinians being killed Monday in new shootings on the roads leading to Israeli- and U.S.-supported food distribution centers in the Gaza Strip, the local Health Ministry said.
The toll was the deadliest yet in the near-daily shootings that have taken place as thousands of Palestinians move through Israeli military-controlled areas to reach the food centers.
As on previous days, witnesses said Israeli troops opened fire in an attempt to control crowds.
The ministry says several hundred people have been killed and hundreds more wounded in such shootings since the centers, run by the private contractor Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, opened three weeks ago.
There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military.
It has said in previous instances that troops fired warning shots at what it calls suspects approaching their positions.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said 33 Palestinians were killed trying to reach the GHF center near the southern city of Rafah and another on route to a GHF hub in central Gaza.
It said four other people were killed elsewhere.
Israel and the United States say the new GHF system is needed to prevent Hamas from siphoning off aid.
GHF says there has been no violence in or around the sites themselves.
