The Palestinians looking for help continue to be killed near the distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humaninian Foundation.
At least 34 Palestinians were killed and several others wounded by an Israeli fire pending humanitarian aid in the Central and South Gaza Strip, Tel Aviv Tribune told Tel Aviv Tribune.
Friday, at least 82 Palestinians were killed through Gaza by the Israeli army, said sources, including several in an attack where Jets bombed a house west of Deir El-Balah.
At least 37 people were killed in the center of Gaza, including 23 who were looking for help, according to hospital sources. In Gaza City, 23 other people lost their lives, while 22 were killed in southern Gaza – of which 11 were also aid seekers.
The Israeli attacks against hungry Palestinians near aid centers killed hundreds of people since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began distributions on May 27.
The Dark group, supported by the United States, the United States responsible for distributing aid supplies has been criticized by the United Nations for its “inability” to guarantee the safe delivery of supplies in Gaza, where assistance agencies have warned that the whole population is faced with the threat of famine after Israel has imposed a total blockage from early March.
Ismail Al-Thawabta, director general of the Gaza Government’s media office, said on Thursday that the total number of assistance seekers killed at 409, and 3,203 others were injured.
UNICEF warned that the Gaza strip was also faced with an artificial drought as its water systems collapsed.
“Children will start to die of thirst,” spokesman James Elder said on Friday in Geneva. “Only 40% of drinking water production facilities remain functional.”
The United Nations agency warned that the GHF distribution system “aggravated a desperate situation”.
Elder, who was recently in Gaza, said that he had had many testimonies from women and injured children when he was trying to receive food aid, including a young boy injured by a tank shell and who died later from his injuries.
He said that the public’s lack of clarity at the moment when the sites, some of which are in combat areas, were open caused mass events.
“There were cases where the information (was) shared that a site is open, but it is then communicated on social networks that they are closed, but that the information was shared when the Internet of Gaza was down and people had no access,” he said.
On Wednesday, the GHF said in a statement that it had distributed three million meals on three of its help sites without incident.
While the War of Israel against Gaza continues, it also exchanged air attacks with Iran for a week.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Friday that Israel’s conflict with Iran and his genocide in Gaza “quickly reach the point of no return.”
“This madness must end as soon as possible,” said Erdogan during a speech to the organization of the youth forum of Islamic cooperation in Istanbul. “Israel has complained about his hospitals today, but he has so far led more than 700 attacks on health establishments in Gaza only,” he added, reiterating calls to a ceasefire.
