DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli airstrikes and gunshots killed at least 25 people overnight into Saturday, according to Palestinian health officials and the local ambulance service, as ceasefire talks appear to have stalled and Gaza faces famine.

Gunfire killed the majority of people as they waited for aid trucks close to the Zikim crossing with Israel, said staff at Shifa hospital, where the bodies were taken.

Israel’s army didn’t respond to a request for comments about the shootings.

Those killed in strikes included four people in an apartment building in Gaza City, hospital staff and the ambulance service said.

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas were at a standstill after the U.S. and Israel recalled negotiating teams Thursday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday his government was considering “alternative options” to ceasefire talks. A Hamas official, however, said negotiations were expected to resume this week and described the recall of the Israeli and U.S. delegations as a pressure tactic.

Egypt and Qatar, which mediate the talks alongside the United States, called the pause only temporary and said talks would resume. They did not say when.

The latest Zikim crossing shootings come days after at least 80 Palestinians were killed trying to reach aid entering through the crossing. Israel’s military at the time said its soldiers shot at a gathering of thousands of Palestinians who posed a threat.

During the shootings late Friday, Sherif Abu Aisha said people started running when they saw a light that they thought was from the aid trucks, but as they got close, they realized it was from Israel’s tanks. That’s when the army started firing on people, he told The Associated Press. He said his uncle, a father of eight, was among those killed.

“We went because there is no food ... and nothing was distributed,” he said.

Men carried the latest bodies through the rubble on Saturday.

Israel faces growing international pressure to alleviate Gaza’s catastrophic humanitarian crisis. More than two dozen Western-aligned countries and over 100 charity and human rights groups have called for an end to the war, harshly criticizing Israel’s blockade and a new aid delivery model it has rolled out.

Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food, mostly near the new aid sites.
