20 killed, more than 150 injured as Israeli army opens fire on people standing in line for food

Months after the Israel-Hamas war, the death toll in Gaza continues to rise. Civilians, including many children, are becoming victims of firing and bomb blasts. Food and necessities are being delivered to Gaza as aid.

Meanwhile, several people waiting for food aid were killed in Israeli firing. Gaza's health ministry said about 20 people were killed and more than 150 were injured in the attack. The attack took place on Kuwaiti Char Road in Gaza, where aid trucks usually arrive with food.

The death toll will increase

Mohammed Garb, a doctor at Al Shifa Hospital's emergency unit, said the death toll was likely to rise as casualties were still being transferred to the hospital. According to a report, an eyewitness present at the scene said that dozens of people have died. In the video, dozens of bodies are reportedly falling at the scene. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported the incident as Israeli forces targeting a group of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid at the Kuwaiti intersection in Gaza.

Israel held responsible

According to eyewitnesses, the sound of the attack resembled artillery or tank fire in the area. Gaza civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal blamed Israel for the attack in a statement on Thursday, according to the report.

Help will reach by sea

According to Mahmoud Bassal, Israeli occupation forces are still practicing the policy of killing innocent civilians waiting for relief aid as a result of the impending famine in the northern Gaza Strip. Meanwhile the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that humanitarian aid would enter Gaza by sea for the first time.

Humanitarian aid is reaching Gaza via land, air and sea. For the first time, humanitarian aid is reaching Gaza by sea. A UAE-funded ship carrying humanitarian aid departed on Tuesday. Muhammad Abu Hassan, commander of a Hamas operations unit, was specifically targeted and killed in the Rafah area amid the ongoing war with Israel, the IDF said on Thursday.
