More than 70 Palestinians killed in Gaza since dawn
Medical sources on the ground have told Al Jazeera that at least 73 people have been killed in Gaza since dawn today, including 33 aid seekers. Our colleagues collected information on some of the overnight attacks:
- An Israeli strike hit a tent in the al-Mawasi area, west of Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis, killing 13 people, including a couple and their four children.
- Another attack targeted the Mustafa Hafez School, sheltering displaced people west of Gaza City, killing 11 people.
- At least six people were killed and 100 injured in an attack targeting aid seekers near the Nabulsi Roundabout, west of Gaza City.
- At least three were killed in an Israeli strike on the northern city of Beit Lahiya.

Desperate scenes in Gaza as gunfire erupts near aid centres
People described scenes of horror as they waited for hours just hoping to get their hands on basic food supplies, only to be met with sudden and unprovoked gunfire.
I’ve been speaking to a number of survivors this morning, and they told me such heartbreaking testimonies, and they shared the horrific scenes that unfolded near the GHF-run aid centres. They told me that there was no prior warning, no prior indication – just gunfire ripping through the crowd, desperate Palestinians scattered for cover as bullets flew.
They told me that emergency services and medical teams were not able to access the area due to the intensity of the gunfire. This absolutely reflects the collapse of the humanitarian landscape here in Gaza.
