At least 25 aid seekers killed in central Gaza

Israeli forces have opened fire near an aid distribution point by central Gaza’s so-called Netzarim Corridor, according to medical sources speaking to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

This incident is the latest in a string of deadly shootings near aid distribution sites since the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation assumed control of aid operations in late May.

Witness describes deadly chaos at Gaza aid site

Al Jazeera spoke to Jaber al-Hawjeri, a father of six who was near an aid distribution site in central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor when Israeli forces opened fire.

Desperate for food after running out of supplies, Al Hawjeri said people were “shot at” by what he believes were snipers or drones. “We went to face death for some humanitarian aid, but we were attacked and left without any food,” he said, adding that his nephew was among the wounded.

“Victims were all over the place … The situation is going from bad to worse. We have no hope at all.”
