Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports that conditions on the ground remain very fluid after a series of deadly incidents in Gaza.

“We understand that at least 34 Palestinians were killed while trying to get their hands on aid delivered by the controversial US and Israeli-backed GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) in Rafah in the south of the enclave,” he reports.

According to Azzoum, the GHF keeps only one aid centre operational in Rafah, forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to move to the southern part of Gaza to get food aid.

“Witnesses report that the Israeli military squarely targeted hungry crowds without prior warning, causing a great deal of panic and fear along with chaotic scenes that erupted following the shooting,” Azzoum adds.

“The latest attack on aid seekers underscores how no place in Gaza is safe and no act of survival is spared from Israeli strikes.”
