Gaza’s civil defence agency has said Israeli forces killed 25 people waiting for aid in the south of the Palestinian territory in the second such incident, bringing the number of aid seekers killed to 46.
Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 25 people were killed and dozens wounded when “Israeli forces targeted civilian gatherings near Al-Alam and Al-Shakoush areas with bullets and tank shells as they attempted to reach an aid centre in northwest Rafah, about two kilometres from a US-backed aid distribution point.”
The Israeli army did not respond to an AFP request for comment.
