Tragedy Strikes Gaza: 34 Killed in Shootings Near Food Distribution Centers

At least 34 Palestinians were killed in a series of shootings near food distribution centers in Gaza on Monday, marking the deadliest day since the centers were established. The incidents occurred as thousands of Palestinians attempted to access aid in areas controlled by Israeli forces.

Witnesses reported that Israeli troops opened fire in an effort to control the crowds, leading to a significant number of casualties. The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed the death toll and stated that hundreds have been wounded in similar incidents since the centers opened.

As the situation unfolds, international observers continue to call for urgent intervention to prevent further loss of life and ensure safe access to humanitarian aid.
