On Sunday, a tragic incident occurred in Gaza, where at least 93 Palestinians were killed while waiting for food aid. This has been reported as one of the deadliest days for civilians seeking assistance in the region. The United Nations food agency blamed Israeli forces for opening fire on the large crowds of hungry people attempting to receive essential food support.
According to the Palestinian health ministry, about 150 others sustained injuries in the same incident. The violence took place in the northern Gaza Strip, an area currently marked by rising tensions due to ongoing conflict. At the same time, Israeli troops issued new evacuation orders for central Gaza, especially in the city of Deir al-Balah, as preparations continue for a ground offensive aimed at Hamas.
The United Nations has described the situation of starvation in Gaza as man-made, emphasizing the severe hunger faced by families trapped in the besieged territory. Humanitarian aid convoys have been met with large crowds, illustrating the desperate need for lifesaving supplies among the civilian population.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military is increasing its operations, worsening the humanitarian crisis. The international community has voiced profound concern and made urgent calls for measures to protect civilians and ensure the delivery of aid. The current situation remains unstable, with no immediate resolution to the hostilities or the accompanying humanitarian emergency in sight.
