Reports have emerged saying six people were killed and at least 83 wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food in Gaza city.
The attack came a few hours after Israeli forces bombed a United Nations food distribution centre in southern Rafah city, killing at least five people including a member for the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Reports have emerged saying six people were killed and at least 83 wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food in Gaza city.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said on X that “Since this war began, attacks against UN facilities, convoys and personnel have become commonplace in blatant disregard to international humanitarian law.”
Israel’s chief military spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said that civilians would be directed to “humanitarian islands” where they would receive temporary housing, food, water and other necessities.
Humanitarian groups and numerous governments, including allies of Israel, have warned a military offensive into the densely crowded area would be a catastrophe.
The most recent setback came with the breakdown of talks between Hamas and Israel that were intended to secure a truce ahead of the holy month of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Forces published a video showing a drone strike on a moving vehicle carrying a Hamas official in Lebanon.
