Scores Killed in Gaza as Aid Centres Become Flashpoints for Violence

Scores Killed in Gaza as Aid Centres Become Flashpoints for Violence

At least 64 Palestinians have been killed in fresh Israeli attacks on Gaza, including 14 who died near aid distribution centres. This is according to medical officials cited by Al Jazeera.

Nine people were reported killed early Wednesday near the Netzarim Junction, while waiting for food assistance. The area, overseen by the controversial Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, GHF, has seen repeated violence since its establishment in late May.

Critics, including UN agencies and international aid groups, accuse the GHF of turning food aid into a weapon of war, with distribution points placed dangerously close to Israeli military positions. Survivors say crowds are given just 20 minutes to collect rations—after which shooting often begins.

Israel claims its troops respond to what it labeled as suspects, near aid convoys.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s health ministry warns of catastrophic conditions. Hospitals are overwhelmed, short on supplies, and operating under siege as the humanitarian crisis deepens across the enclave.
