Aid must be secured and brought in officially, Palestinian authorities say 

Gaza's Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal has said that humanitarian aid must be brought in officially and secured through specific mechanisms, Al Jazeera reported. 

A large number of aid seekers have been killed as a result of direct targeting by Israel, he said, adding that the current method of delivering aid is not practical.

Since May, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,330 Palestinian aid seekers and over 8,818 others have been wounded, mainly at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites run by the US and Israel.
