30 Palestinians killed, over 115 wounded in Rafah shooting

Civilians attacked in Al-Mawasi

Local sources reported that Israeli forces opened direct fire on hundreds of civilians attempting to reach the aid distribution site in the al-Mawasi area. The indiscriminate shooting led to heavy casualties among those desperately seeking food and humanitarian aid.

Repeated attacks on aid centres

This incident follows a series of similar attacks in recent days, in which 17 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded while trying to access humanitarian assistance. The pattern has raised alarm among aid groups and international observers.

Starvation as a weapon

These attacks are occurring within the context of what has been described as a systematic starvation policy. Israel has kept Gaza’s crossings closed for more than 90 days, preventing the entry of essential supplies, especially food, and pushing large segments of the population toward famine.

Mounting humanitarian toll

Since the onset of Israeli aggression on Gaza in October 2023, over 54,381 Palestinians have been confirmed killed, and more than 124,381 injured. Thousands more are believed to be buried under rubble, unreachable due to ongoing attacks on emergency and civil defense teams.
