The White House has labeled the reported strike on food aid in Gaza as a "serious incident," underscoring the gravity of the situation. A spokesperson for the White House highlighted that the United States is currently investigating reports of civilian casualties in Gaza who were awaiting humanitarian aid.

Palestinian media outlets have reported a new toll for the victims of the "Al-Nabulsi roundabout" massacre near Al-Rasheed Street in Gaza, where citizens were gathered in anticipation of aid trucks. The reported figures have tragically risen to 150 fatalities and 600 injuries among those waiting for assistance.

This incident has drawn international attention and condemnation, spotlighting the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza and the critical need for unimpeded access to humanitarian aid for its residents. The White House's acknowledgment of the incident as serious reflects the international community's concern over the escalation of violence and its impact on civilian populations in conflict zones.
