Gaza Aid Tragedy: Over 30 Killed, Hundreds Injured by Israeli Gunfire

At least 30 Palestinians were killed and around 300 injured by Israeli gunfire while waiting for aid in northern Gaza, according to Gaza’s civil defence. The incident happened near the Zikim crossing, where crowds gathered around aid trucks.

Israel claims it only fired warning shots and is investigating the reports. Gaza hospitals later reported at least 48 deaths.’

The UN says over 1,000 Palestinians have died trying to access aid since May. Hunger is worsening, with over 150 malnutrition-related deaths reported, including 89 children.

Global concern grows as aid remains limited, despite Israeli assurances of no restrictions.
