Aid Turns Deadly: Over 20 Palestinians Killed by Israeli Forces While Seeking Food in Gaza

 

In a harrowing episode underscoring Gaza’s deepening humanitarian crisis, Israeli forces killed at least 23 Palestinians on Sunday as they attempted to access food aid, according to hospital officials and eyewitnesses. The victims were part of desperate crowds moving toward distribution points operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S. and Israeli-backed contractor that took over aid operations in May.

Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes near multiple aid sites, including Teina, Morag, and the Netzarim corridor, where Israeli troops reportedly opened fire on civilians approaching the distribution zones. “Troops were trying to prevent people from advancing. They opened fire and we fled. Some people were shot,” said Hamza Matter, one of the aid seekers.

Hospitals across Gaza received bodies from several locations, with Nasser Hospital confirming eight deaths from Teina and others from Shakoush and Morag. Awda Hospital reported five more fatalities and 27 injuries near Netzarim.

The United Nations has documented over 850 deaths near GHF sites between May 27 and July 31, with hundreds more killed along UN-led food convoy routes. The Gaza Health Ministry also reported six additional deaths from malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing the adult toll to 82 over five weeks.

While Israeli officials and GHF claim their forces only use warning shots or non-lethal methods like pepper spray, eyewitness accounts and hospital data paint a grim picture of escalating violence against civilians seeking basic sustenance.
