Israeli attack kills 24 Palestinians seeking food aid in Gaza
At least 24 Palestinians desperately seeking food aid amid widespread hunger in Gaza have been killed in an Israeli attack in the besieged territory’s central area, according to Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit, Sanad.
According to the report, the victims were killed while waiting for food at Salah al-Din Street just south of Wadi Gaza in the centre of the Strip. Footage obtained by Sanad showed the bodies of the victims piling up at Nasser Medical Complex and al-Awda Hospital.
Israeli attacks on Palestinians near aid centres have killed more than 400 people and wounded about 1,000 since the Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began aid distribution on May 27.

Al-Shifa Hospital ‘bloodbath’ as wounded aid seekers seek treatment
A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has regional powers stepping back from the edge of a larger war.
But the morning here [in Gaza] is still quite heavy. There are more screams, tears and trauma. There are more funerals and people bidding farewell to dead family members who were killed at distribution centres in Rafah, near the Netzarim Corridor, and in northern Gaza.
Casualties were brought to various health facilities, including al-Shifa Hospital, some by animal-drawn carts. The emergency ward there turned into a bloodbath, and many died waiting for medical care.
Five people from the same family were also killed in an attack on a residential home here in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood.
