DaysofPal- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed at least 135 Palestinians, including 87 civilians seeking humanitarian aid, and injured 771 in a surge of bloody attacks across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported.
Many victims died near food distribution points where desperate civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, gathered amid severe shortages of food and essentials.
Eyewitnesses and medical personnel described scenes of chaos and bloodshed as airstrikes targeted aid convoys and distribution sites, while Israeli forces reportedly opened fire on those waiting in line for assistance.
In Gaza City, dozens lost their lives in an airstrike on a local aid distribution center.
A similar assault on a gathering in Nuseirat refugee camp left many dead and wounded, marking one of the deadliest days in the ongoing conflict since October 2023.
Hospitals and medical facilities across Gaza are overwhelmed and struggling with shortages of fuel, medicines, and equipment, hindering their ability to treat the rising number of casualties. Moreover, medical staff report that many wounded remain untreated for hours due to the scale of the crisis.
Human rights organizations condemned the Israeli attacks, stating that using starvation as a weapon, followed by lethal force against aid seekers, constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law.
The World Health Organization called for urgent investigations into these incidents, describing them as potential war crimes.
International response has been limited so far, even as warnings mount about an impending humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Millions of civilians trapped in the besieged enclave continue to face daily threats to their survival amid relentless military operations.
