According to Palestinian sources, Israeli soldiers fired shots again in the area of a humanitarian aid distribution point.

According to Palestinian sources, Israeli soldiers have again killed at least 25 people near a humanitarian aid distribution center in the Gaza Strip. In addition, around 70 people were injured in the incident in the Khan Yunis area in the south of the sealed-off coastal zone, according to medical sources at the local Nasser Hospital. The number of victims is likely to rise, they said. The Israeli army has not yet provided any information on the incident.

The controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is currently responsible for food distribution in the Gaza Strip. The foundation, supported by Israel and the US, began its work at the end of May after a months-long Israeli blockade of aid deliveries. The UN criticizes, among other things, that the foundation operates too few distribution centers and that people are exposed to great danger there and on the way there.

There are repeated reports of fatal incidents near distribution centers. According to the UN, hundreds of people have been killed near distribution centers and around aid convoys since the end of May.
