"The army started firing in the air, and the army had seen us. The tank was in front of us and the soldiers were in front of us. We were a group of about 60 people. They saw us. Suddenly, the shooting became random, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I was injured in my leg. One person came to rescue me, he was injured too. And the army was in front of us."

"We were directly targeted and we are far from them (army). We did not get anything (any aid). We went and did not get anything. Those who do get (aid), we do not know how the system works. This is a system that must be abolished. This is a system of slow death. May God punish every country that agreed to help this organization. We demand that all Arab countries bring in aid through the old system, through the World Food Program or UNRWA. We go there only to face death. I went 6 times and never got anything.”

STORYLINE:
Israeli forces killed 11 people who had been seeking food in southern Gaza, according to witnesses, hospitals, and Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis said it received the bodies of people shot while returning from an aid site associated with the Israeli and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund.
It was part of a deadly pattern that has killed more than 500 Palestinians in the chaotic and controversial aid distribution program over the past month.
The shootings happened around 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from the GHF site in Khan Younis, as Palestinians returned from the site along the only accessible route.
Palestinians are often forced to travel long distances to access the GHF hubs in hopes of obtaining aid.
Nasser Hospital said another person was killed near a GHF hub in the southern city of Rafah.
Ten others were killed at a United Nations aid warehouse in northern Gaza, according to the Health Ministry’s ambulance and emergency service.
The Israeli military said it was reviewing information about the attacks.
In the past, the military has said it fires warning shots at people who move suspiciously or get too close to troops, including while collecting aid.
Israel wants the GHF to replace a system coordinated by the United Nations and international aid groups.
Along with the United States, Israel has accused the militant Hamas group of stealing aid and using it to prop up its rule in the enclave.
The U.N. denies there is systematic diversion of aid.
The Israeli military said it had recently taken steps to improve organization in the area, including the installation of new fencing, signage and the opening of additional routes to access aid.
In total, witnesses, hospital and health officials said Israeli forces killed at least 67 people in Gaza on Monday with airstrikes that left 30 dead at a seaside cafe and the gunfire near aid points.
Awad said many of the wounded were in critical condition.
