US EditionConflicting reports as 21 Palestinians killed near Gaza Aid Hub
- On Sunday, Israeli gunfire near a US-backed aid distribution center in southern Gaza resulted in the deaths of 31 Palestinians and left over 170 others injured.
- The incident followed the launch of a new aid mechanism by Israel and a US-backed group, with conflicting reports on whether Israeli forces opened fire on civilians.
- Witnesses described chaos and gunfire from drones and tanks targeting people gathering for aid, while the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation denied the casualties and called reports fabricated.
- Eyewitness Sameh Hamuda described how, without warning, quadcopter drones began attacking the crowd, followed by intense tank gunfire, and added the chilling remark, "Death follows you."
- The killings deepen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where most residents depend on scarce aid amid a continuing Israeli offensive against Hamas after the October 2023 war escalation.
