Dozens to over a hundred Palestinians have been killed in multiple incidents as Israeli forces opened fire on crowds seeking food aid in Gaza, according to local health officials and international agencies.
The United Nations and humanitarian groups warn that Gaza is facing a catastrophic hunger crisis, with civilians risking—and losing—their lives just to access basic food supplies. Israeli authorities claim they fired warning shots and blame Hamas for chaos at aid sites, but eyewitnesses and medics describe scenes of panic, stampedes, and indiscriminate gunfire. Since May, over 1,000 people have reportedly died while trying to get food, with many more injured or suffering from starvation.
The escalating violence and worsening famine have drawn condemnation from the UN and calls for an immediate ceasefire, as the humanitarian situation in Gaza reaches unprecedented levels of desperation.
