Israeli fire kills dozens of Palestinians as they queue for aid across famine-hit Gaza Strip

Israeli forces opened fire on crowds of starving Palestinians waiting for food aid in northern and southern Gaza, killing at least 49 people and wounding over 150 in a single day. Witnesses described horrific scenes as displaced families, desperate for flour and canned goods, came under attack near designated aid corridors. Despite Israel’s claims of allowing humanitarian access, survivors say aid deliveries remain a deadly gamble, with many shot while approaching trucks. Hospitals struggled to treat the wounded as Gaza’s health ministry reported four more deaths from starvation in 24 hours. The attacks have raised urgent questions over the safety of aid routes, with critics accusing Israel of using limited aid concessions to deflect international outrage while maintaining a blockade. Meanwhile, famine spreads as lawlessness and Israeli restrictions prevent meaningful relief from reaching those in need.
