US EditionAt least 51 Palestinians killed while waiting for aid trucks in Gaza, health officials say
- On Tuesday, Israeli tanks launched shellfire at a large group of Palestinians gathered on a main road in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis as they awaited food distribution, resulting in at least 51 deaths and over 200 injuries.
- The incident took place during a period marked by frequent large-scale fatalities among Palestinians awaiting assistance near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation locations amid an 11-week Israeli blockade that was recently eased to some extent.
- Eyewitness Alaa described that after the crowd was ordered to gather, shelling began suddenly, causing casualties treated at overcrowded Nasser Hospital with victims transported in civilian vehicles.
- The Israeli Defense Forces acknowledged firing on the crowd near a stuck aid truck close to their troops and stated the incident is under review, while Palestinian medics reported 221 wounded, 20 in critical condition.
- The attack intensified international concern over Gaza's humanitarian crisis, as aid groups warn lifting the blockade remains insufficient to meet critical food shortages facing half a million people.
