US Edition73 Palestinians Killed Waiting for Aid as Israel Orders Evacuation of Central Gaza
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 21 – At least 93 Palestinians were killed near humanitarian aid sites amid ongoing violence in Gaza, with more than 150 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry and civil defence.
- On Sunday, at least 85 Palestinians lost their lives while attempting to access food aid in Gaza, marking the highest number of such casualties in more than 21 months of conflict.
- This violence occurred after the Israeli military directed residents to leave certain central areas of Gaza, a region seldom accessed by ground forces and home to numerous aid organizations.
- Witnesses described tanks surrounding crowds and gunfire raining down as thousands tried to access aid trucks, with Palestinians trapped for around two hours amid chaotic scenes allegedly worsened by Hamas militants.
- The UN World Food Programme reported 25 trucks entered Gaza for starving communities, while Zaher al-Waheidi confirmed at least 79 Palestinians died trying to reach aid near the Zikim crossing.
- These incidents highlight escalating humanitarian crises amid a war that began after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, resulting in widespread displacement, a blockade, and tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths.
