More people killed in Israeli attack on aid seekers


Palestinians gather to receive aid in Beit Lahiya

Israeli attacks have killed at least two people and wounded many waiting for aid northwest of Gaza City, a source at al-Shifa Hospital says.

Nine people were killed and 55 wounded by Israeli fire near an aid centre in northern Gaza.

Five Palestinians were killed near an aid centre north of Rafah, southern Gaza.

One of those attacks took place at Zikim crossing in northern Gaza. Moath al-Kahlout, our colleague on the ground, reported seeing at least 30 people – killed or wounded – from that attack brought to al-Shifa Hospital.

“Out of all those who went to the Zikim area seeking aid, only one person returned with a bag of flour.  Approximately 30 others were brought back on animal-drawn carts, either dead or severely wounded.

“The scene is devastating.”

Video shows Palestinians pepper-sprayed at GHF site

Footage shared online and verified by Al Jazeera shows employees of a US security company spraying pepper gas on Palestinians seeking food at one of the GHF aid distribution hubs in the Shakoush area in southern Rafah.

According to local journalists, the footage was from July 10.

At least 73 aid seekers killed

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza is now reporting that at least 73 people waiting for aid have been killed across Gaza in Israeli attacks.
