31 Palestinians Killed in Gaza While Receiving Humanitarian Aid

At least 31 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured on Sunday in Rafah, southern Gaza, when Israeli forces opened fire on civilians gathering for humanitarian aid, according to a Gaza-based health organization. The incident occurred near a designated aid distribution point, far from Rafah, forcing many to travel long distances. Footage shows the chaotic aftermath, with injured people receiving medical attention. One eyewitness, a Palestinian man, stated, "They are killing civilians who are only looking for food and water." The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) condemned the incident and criticized the location of the aid distribution point, stating that it created a dangerous situation for vulnerable people. The Israeli government has not yet commented on the incident but has stated that their forces did not knowingly target civilians. The event underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the dangers faced by civilians caught in the conflict.
