Israeli Forces Kill 35-56 Palestinians Near Gaza Aid Centers

Israeli forces have killed dozens of Palestinians near humanitarian aid distribution centers in the Gaza Strip amid ongoing military operations and a partial blockade. Multiple incidents of shootings occurred near aid sites in Rafah and Khan Younis, with at least 36 Palestinians reported killed on one day and a total of at least 56 killed on another, including civilians gathered to receive aid. The Israeli military stated its troops fired warning shots at individuals they claimed endangered their forces, while Gaza's civil defense and medical sources described the shootings as attacks on displaced civilians and aid recipients. Humanitarian organizations, including the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, have temporarily suspended aid operations due to security concerns. An aid flotilla, including activists such as Greta Thunberg, is attempting to breach Israel's naval blockade to deliver assistance to Gaza, with international groups warning that any interception would violate international law. Medical facilities like al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis have been declared inaccessible due to the military designation of surrounding areas as combat zones, raising urgent calls for protection of medical sites and safe corridors for aid delivery.
