Welcome to the News Hour. It's designed to deliver food to the most desperate, but for the third time in three days, Ghazans faced gunfire outside a new humanitarian aid site.

Today, as many as 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers. That's according to Palestinian health officials and the International Red Cross.

Some half a million people in Gaza are extremely food insecure and are on the verge of famine.

Nick Schiffen begins our coverage, and a warning, images in this story are disturbing.

This morning in Gaza, they set out to end their hunger.

They died hungry.

More than two dozen killed before they could pick up food.

Some died anonymously.

Their body bags marked name unknown next to the time of death.

For others, irreplaceable loss, Ahmed Zedan will never again see his mother.

Mom, please come back to me, he says, please come back.

Relatives Sairim Ahmed was killed trying to feed her family.

Another son lays his head on his mother's body one last time.

For Gazans, accessing the barest of necessities, beans, pasta, rice, has become a daily gamble with their lives, often for crumbs.

Rasha al-Nahal shows what little she managed to collect.

We don't get anything.

We see people getting killed in front of us and end up leaving empty-handed.

We're tired and we can't take this anymore.

We'd rather die than deal with this.

Death is more dignified to us than what's happening to us.

The new sites are run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which funnels Gazans into small

areas secured by private American contractors.
