Citing al-Shifa Hospital sources, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic have reported that eight Palestinians have been killed and several others were injured in an Israeli air attack targeting a tent sheltering displaced people in the Remal neighbourhood, west of Gaza City.

At least 40 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemns Rafah ‘aid massacres’

The group says the deadly attacks on aid seekers in Gaza are “an American-Zionist crime that reflects a systematic policy of persecuting our people and practising the most heinous forms of oppression and injustice against them”.

Its statement on Telegram strongly condemned “the international complicity and silence regarding the continued policy of starvation and suffocating siege, and the ongoing crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing, the latest of which was the heinous Zionist massacre of starving and besieged people as they were heading to receive aid in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah”.

Rafah aid point death toll rises to 27

We have reported earlier that 24 people were killed by Israeli forces at an aid distribution site in southern Gaza’s Rafah governorate. Now, the enclave’s Health Ministry says the number of dead has risen to 27, with more than 90 others injured.

Witnesses detail desperation, chaos at Rafah aid site

The same situation unfolded as in the past few days. Palestinians were moving towards this distribution point [in Rafah] to collect food. We heard from witnesses that there was chaos. There’s no process. There’s no system.

You just need to run first to be able to get the food. The Israeli forces just opened fire randomly, shooting Palestinians … using quadcopters and live ammunition.

The Health Ministry and doctors are saying that most of those wounded have been hit in their chest and head. Palestinians are very desperate to get food, and that is why they’re going there every single day.

Now, what is the food that is being distributed? According to people we spoke to, they said that there is a very limited amount of food – flour, oil, lentils and other canned food.

Israel ‘lured’ and killed 102 aid seekers in 8 days: Gaza media office

Gaza’s Government Media Office accuses Israel of “a horrific, intentionally repeated crime”, saying it has been luring starving Palestinians to its US-backed aid distribution centres and then opening fire on them.

It said today’s death toll – 27 – brought the number of aid seekers killed at aid sites in the Rafah governorate and the so-called Netzarim Corridor since the Gaza Aid Foundation started operating in the enclave on May 27 to 102, with 490 others injured.

“The so-called ‘aid’ distribution centres, which are located in exposed and dangerous red zones under the control of the occupation army, have turned into mass bloodbaths, luring starving civilians to them as a result of the crippling famine and the tightening siege,” the statement published on Telegram said.

“They are then deliberately and coldly shot, in a scene that epitomises the malice of the project and exposes its true objectives,” it added.

The Media Office called on “the United Nations, its Security Council and human rights organisations to assume their moral and legal responsibilities, take immediate action, and exert pressure using all available means to open official crossings without interference or conditions from the occupation”.

Nasser Hospital patients ‘face certain death’ due to Israeli evacuation orders: Ministry

We have reported earlier that Israel on Monday ordered Palestinians in several areas of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis to immediately flee, warning that it “will operate with great force”. Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israel “is deliberately undermining and stifling the health system through evacuations of areas housing hospitals and healthcare centres”.

“The recent evacuations in Khan Yunis Governorate pose a direct threat to putting the Nasser Medical Complex out of service,” the ministry said on Telegram. It said the Nasser Medical Complex is the only hospital in the southern Gaza Strip that offers specialised services that are threatened with disruption.

“Dozens of patients and wounded are in intensive care, operating rooms, and emergency rooms, as well as children in nursery wards, facing certain death if the complex is out of service,” the ministry added.

Witnesses describe ‘indiscriminate’ shooting at southern Gaza aid site

We have been reporting on the killing by Israeli forces of 27 Palestinians waiting for aid in Rafah.

Yasser Abu Lubda, a 50-year-old displaced Palestinian from Rafah, told The Associated Press news agency that the shooting started about 4am local time (02:00 GMT) in the city’s Flag Roundabout area, about one kilometre (1,000 yards) away from the aid distribution hub. He said he saw several people killed or wounded.

Neima al-Aaraj, a woman from Khan Younis, gave a similar account.

“There were many martyrs and wounded,” she told AP, saying the shooting by Israeli forces was “indiscriminate”.

She said she managed to reach the hub but returned empty-handed. “There was no aid there,” she said. “After the martyrs and wounded, I won’t return,” she said. “Either way we will die.”

Israeli forces targeted heads, chests of Palestinians collecting food

The civil defence teams have described the distribution points where Palestinians are supposed to get food as death traps.

Israeli forces situated these distribution points in the western parts of Rafah, an area that is known as a safe humanitarian zone. Israeli forces opened fire on thousands of Palestinians who were going there only for the sake of getting food.

Now, talking to people, collecting testimonies, there are Palestinians who were killed as they were holding food parcels. A woman was trying to feed her children and her family. Many of the injured are still in hospital. They’re in the ICU because the Israeli forces mainly targeted the heads, the chest and the upper parts of the body.

Doctors are saying that most of those injured are in a very serious, critical situation that’s why they were calling for blood donations, as Nasser Hospital has been running out of blood units and also running out of medical supplies.

According to the Health Ministry, since those distribution points were set up, at least 102 Palestinians have been killed and more than 460 have been injured.


Gaza death toll rises

At least 40 Palestinians have been killed and 208 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. One body of a person killed in a previous Israeli attack was also recovered from the rubble in the war-torn territory, the ministry said.

The total death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has risen to 54,510 killed and 124,901 injured since October 7, 2023, it said. Israel has killed 4,240 Palestinians and injured 12,860 since breaking a ceasefire in March this year.

UN warns Gaza aid access blockade may constitute war crimes

The United Nations human rights office says the impediment of access to food and relief for civilians in Gaza may constitute a war crime, describing attacks on civilians trying to access food aid as unconscionable.

“For a third day running, people were killed around an aid distribution site run by the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’. This morning, we have received information that dozens more people were killed and injured,” Jeremy Laurence, the spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk told reporters in Geneva.

At least 27 have been killed at an aid distribution site in Rafah since morning, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.

Lufthansa extends Israel flight suspension

Germany’s Lufthansa is suspending flights to Israel for another week over ongoing security concerns, the aviation group has announced.

Flights operated by the group, which also owns carriers such as Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, SWISS and Eurowings, will remain suspended until June 22.

Western European opinion of Israel plummets: Survey

Public opinion of Israel has plunged to record lows across Western Europe, with widespread condemnation of its military operations in Gaza, according to the latest YouGov Eurotrack survey.

The survey, conducted in Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, reveals a stark shift in sentiment, with net favourability ratings in Germany, France and Denmark for Israel reaching their lowest levels since tracking began in 2016.

In each of the six countries surveyed, only 13 percent to 21 percent of respondents expressed a favourable view of Israel, while 63 percent to 70 percent said their opinion was unfavourable.

Only 7-18 percent said they sympathised most with Israel, according to YouGov.

Global think tank to Europe: ‘Words are not enough’

In a statement titled “Europe on Gaza: Words Are Not Enough”, the International Crisis Group urges European leaders to back their stated concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza with action.

In recent weeks, several European countries have employed stern language to rebuke Israel’s blockade that has brought hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza to the verge of starvation.

But most European countries enjoy warm ties with Israel and continue to export weapons to the country. The EU is Israel’s top trade partner.

“For European Union members and the UK to have any hope of contributing to changes in Israel’s policy, they need to throw more of their economic and diplomatic weight into signalling to Israel that the Gaza campaign must end”, the International Crisis Group said.

“A starting point would be to ban arms sales to Israel or, at least, forbid the use of weapons from Europe in Gaza; commit to upholding the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, including Netanyahu himself, if they travel to Europe; curb preferential trade benefits; and sanction those senior officials and ministers pushing illegal settlement policy, while threatening further steps if the assault does not stop.”

Who’s on the Madleen Gaza flotilla, and where has it reached so far?

The Madleen ship, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), is en route to Gaza carrying humanitarian aid and human rights activists protesting against Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

The vessel set sail in response to Israel’s total aid blockade of the Palestinian enclave starting on March 2, which has resulted in the deaths of dozens of children due to starvation. Israel has since allowed a trickle of aid into Gaza.

The Madleen, named after Gaza’s first and only fisherwoman, departed Catania, Sicily, on Sunday, just one month after drones bombed Conscience, another Freedom Flotilla aid ship, off the coast of Malta. Freedom Flotilla blamed Israel for the attack.

The 2,000km (1,250-mile) journey of the Madleen is expected to take seven days, provided there are no disruptions.
