The UN human rights office said Friday that 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for aid in the Gaza Strip since late May.

"In total, since 27 May, at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while seeking food; 859 in the vicinity of (US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) sites and 514 along the routes of food convoys," the UN agency's office for the Palestinian territories said in a statement.

"Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military," it added.
