8 are killed in the latest shooting near Israeli and US-supported aid sites in Gaza
- On June 15, 2025, a shooting near aid distribution locations supported by Israel and the U.S. in Rafah's Tal al-Sultan neighborhood resulted in the deaths of eight Palestinians and left many others injured.
- The shooting occurred a few minutes after Umm Hosni al-Najjar joined crowds advancing to the aid site around 4:30 a.m., amid near-daily violence since the sites opened last month.
- The aid distribution centers, managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, function under a disputed new framework amid an extended military conflict and blockade that have severely damaged Gaza’s infrastructure and forced most residents to flee their homes.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 55,300 Palestinians killed and nearly 90% displaced since Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023, which ignited the ongoing conflict.
- The shooting near aid sites reflects heightened tensions around humanitarian access as the UN warns the new aid system risks worsening displacement and does not meet Gaza's needs.
