At least 48 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in northern Gaza, local hospital officials reported. The victims, including men, women and children, were lined up near a makeshift distribution point when the violence erupted.
The shootings underscore the severe food shortages gripping the Gaza Strip. With many families dependent on sporadic aid deliveries to survive, waiting for even basic supplies has become a matter of life and death.
International voices have condemned the attack, calling for an immediate investigation and the creation of protected corridors to deliver aid safely. As the crisis deepens, the incident highlights the urgent need to shield civilians and humanitarian efforts in conflict zones.
