875 Palestinians killed near aid sites, says UN human rights office
GAZA, PALESTINE, JUL 15 – The United Nations reports 875 Palestinians killed near aid sites in Gaza over six weeks, with 81 killed and 400 injured in a single day, underscoring a worsening humanitarian crisis.
- The UN rights office reported at least 875 Palestinians were killed within six weeks near aid points in Gaza run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and other relief convoys.
- This high death toll follows Israel lifting an 11-week aid blockade amid claims the UN aid system allows Hamas to loot shipments, while the GHF uses private US firms to bypass this system.
- Despite GHF denying incidents and accusing the UN of misinformation, the UN calls the GHF model inherently unsafe and the Israeli military is reviewing recent mass casualties near aid sites.
- GHF reported providing more than 70 million meals to people in Gaza over a five-week period, even as malnutrition rates rise and aid shipments continue to be intercepted amid increasingly strict siege measures.
- The reported killings at aid points highlight urgent calls from the Archbishop of Jerusalem for a permanent ceasefire, lifting of siege, no targeting of civilians, and restoration of humanitarian supplies.
