US EditionConflicting reports as 21 Palestinians killed near Gaza Aid Hub
- On Sunday, more than 30 Palestinians lost their lives and over 170 were injured near a US-supported aid distribution location in Rafah, southern Gaza.
- The incident followed Israel's recent easing of a total blockade and rollout of a new US-backed aid mechanism, although the group managing the system denied any violence.
- Witnesses described chaotic scenes with Israeli forces reportedly firing from drones and tanks at crowds converging to receive aid, while some officials blamed Israeli fire and others called reports fabricated.
- Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal reported 31 fatalities and more than 176 injuries, and a paramedic noted Israeli fire targeting civilians gathered for food amid Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis.
- The attack intensified international concerns over Gaza's aid blockade, with the UN warning of famine and the ongoing conflict further limiting humanitarian relief amid thousands displaced and tens of thousands dead.
