US EditionIsraeli Strikes Kill 44 Palestinians in Gaza, UN Warns of Man-Made Drought
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 20 – Dozens of Palestinians have died near aid sites amid severe shortages caused by the blockade; UNICEF reports only 40% of Gaza's water facilities remain operational.
- On Friday, Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 44 Palestinians, including many seeking food aid near aid distribution points south of Netzarim.
- These attacks followed the October 7, 2023 Hamas militant assault on Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, leading to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation runs a U.S.-backed aid distribution system, but unclear site timings and combat zone locations have caused dangerous conditions and casualties.
- UNICEF spokesperson James Elder warned in Geneva that just 40 percent of Gaza’s drinking water facilities remain functional, causing a looming man-made drought and a 50 percent rise in child malnutrition.
- The conflict has displaced nearly all of Gaza’s over 2 million people and caused a hunger crisis, suggesting worsening humanitarian conditions amid ongoing violence and strained aid efforts.
