Dozens of international charities and humanitarian groups have called for the disbanding of a controversial Israeli and US-backed system to distribute aid in Gaza because of recurring chaos and violence against Palestinians.

The call by groups including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty International was made as at least seven Palestinians were killed while seeking aid in southern and central Gaza from late Monday to early Tuesday. On Monday, Israeli gunfire left 23 people dead as they tried to get desperately needed food, witnesses and health officials said.
