More than two dozen Palestinians killed as IDF fires on people it says left approved route to aid site

At least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured by an Israeli fire near a food distribution site in southern Gaza on Tuesday, health officials said in a third day of chaos and blood effusion who accompanied the week and half aid to Israeli aid.

The Israeli army said that its forces had opened fire on a group of people they considered a threat after leaving an access route to the distribution center in Rafah and approached their positions.

This added that he was still investigating what had happened.

Deaths occurred a few hours after Israel said that three of his soldiers had been killed in the northern Gaza Strip, while his forces advanced with an offensive of several months against Hamas activists who made it possible to lose a large part of the enclave.

Reuters could not independently verify reports in the north and south of Gaza.

A spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross told Reuters that his Rafah field hospital had killed 184, adding that 19 of them had been declared dead on their arrival, and eight died of their injuries shortly after.

The video has shown injured people, including at least one woman, rushed into a medical center on carts pulled by Donkeys.

Health officials said that at least 18 other Palestinians were killed on Tuesday in other military strikes in the territory.

Obstacles to facilitate access could constitute a war crime: the UN

The United Nations Human Rights Office in Geneva said Tuesday that the obstacle to access to food relief for civilians in Gaza could constitute a war crime and described attacks against people trying to access food aid as “inadmissible”.

The head of the United Nations agency, Volker Turk, urged a quick and impartial investigation into murders.

More than 35 patients required immediate intervention, added the spokesperson.

Israeli government spokesman David Mencer denied that civilians had been targeted.

“The FDI does everything in its power to allow gas to go to humanitarian aid. The FDIs do not prevent the arrival of Gazans on humanitarian aid sites. Indeed, we encourage it,” said lease.

Chaos on distribution sites

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation supported by the United States (GHF) launched its first distribution sites last week in order to relieve generalized hunger among the population of Gaza, most of whom had to abandon their homes to flee the fighting.

The GHF aid plan, which bypassing traditional aid groups, has been the subject of fierce criticism of the United Nations and established charities which say that it does not follow humanitarian principles.

The private group, which is approved by Israel, said it has distributed 21 food trucks early Tuesday on Tuesday and the help operation was “carried out safely and without incident on the site”.

However, there have been repeated murder reports near Rafah while crowds come together to desperately get supplies.

On Sunday, Palestinian and international officials reported that at least 31 people had been killed and tens of more injured. On Monday, three other Palestinians were reportedly killed by an Israeli fire.

The Israeli army denied having targeted civilians gathering to obtain help and called on death reports during the distribution of Sunday “manufacturing” by Hamas.

On Tuesday, he said that the TSAhal forces had identified “a number of suspects” moving towards them while deviating from the access routes. “The forces fired escape, and after their distance, additional blows were fired near the individual suspects that were advancing towards the forces,” he said.

The difficulties in accessing water persist

Nimer Al-Sharbasi, 38, said that he could only get their hands on water twice a week for his family of six people.

“Finding water here is really difficult,” he told CBC News independent on Tuesday, Mohamed El Saife in Gaza City.

“We sometimes wait for water trucks and hunts so that we can fill the water.”

Al-Sharbasi said that one of his daughters had been hospitalized for seven days due to the lack of water and food during the 11-week blockade on Gaza.

“It was a human skeleton. It is because of the lack of water, the lack of filtered water.”

Muhammad Abu Shamala, 39, says that his family with 11 difficulties daily to find water clean to drink, saying that they have to wait for hours online to fill in the water.

In April, Palestinian and UN officials said that most Gaza desalination factories damaged or stopped operations due to the power and fuel cuts of Israel.

The only natural source of water from Gaza is the coastal aquifers basin, which runs along the eastern Mediterranean coast of the northern Sinai peninsula in Egypt, through Gaza and Israel.

Its salt tap water is seriously exhausted, up to 97% deemed unfit for human consumption due to salinity, over -expression and pollution.

Palestinian Water Authority said most of his wells had been made inoperable during the war. According to a joint declaration from the Palestinian Statistics and Water Authority Bureau in March.

Evacuation orders issued in the south of Gaza

The Israeli army has published new evacuation orders to residents of several Khan Younis districts in the Gaza Gaza Strip on Monday, warning that the army would act forcefully against activists operating in these regions.

The army told residents to go west to the Mawasi humanitarian region. Palestinian and United Nations officials say that there are no safe areas in the enclave, and that most of its 2.3 million populations have become displaced internally.

The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Tuesday that new evacuation orders could interrupt work at Nasser hospital, the largest medical establishment still operating in the south, endangering the lives of those treated there.

Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza after October 7, 2023, assault in which armed men led by Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.

In the following fights, more than 54,000 Palestinians were killed, according to local health authorities.
