More than 20 Palestinians were killed while going to a humanitarian aid center in Gaza, report Palestinian health officials.
This incident occurred near an aid distribution center managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), which is supported by the US and Israel.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating the incident, and according to their statement, the shooting took place about half a kilometer away from the aid distribution site.
This event is a continuation of similar incidents that occurred in the previous days.
For example, on June 1st, 31 people were killed near an aid center in Rafah.
The IDF claims that only warning shots were fired in this incident, but witnesses and health officials are denying this claim.
Drone footage released by the Israeli army shows armed and masked individuals firing at civilians who came to receive aid. The IDF is blaming "Hamas" for these actions.
These incidents are deepening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The UN and other international organizations are calling for an independent investigation of these events.
Food shortages and the risk of hunger are increasing in Gaza, leading civilians to risk their lives for aid.
