US EditionAt least 51 Palestinians killed while waiting for aid trucks in Gaza, health officials say
- On June 16, 2025, at least 51 Palestinians were killed by fire from Israeli tanks while waiting for aid trucks in Khan Yunis, located in the southern Gaza Strip.
- This incident followed a pattern of nearly daily deadly shootings near US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites amid a partial blockade and restricted aid.
- Palestinian health officials and witnesses, including Dr. Ahmed Alfara who described people targeted by snipers, condemned the aid centers as failures and trapped civilians seeking help.
- UN rights chief Volker Trk accused Israel of weaponizing food in Gaza and called for investigations, while WHO trauma surgeon Thanos Gargavanis linked mass casualties to food distribution locations and warned of therapeutic supply shortages.
- The violence underscores Gaza's severe humanitarian crisis, with over two million people at famine risk amid ongoing war, restricted aid, and repeated deadly attacks on those seeking food.
