As death toll rises, Gazans make life-risking journeys to seek food
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 21 – More than 397 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured near aid sites since May 26, as Israeli military actions and blockade worsen Gaza's hunger crisis.
- Palestinian residents of Gaza risk deadly journeys daily to reach aid distribution sites amid escalating violence and widespread displacement.
- This crisis stems from Israel's military assault following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
- Humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza is largely managed by a newly established group supported by Israel and the U.S., which runs heavily guarded food distribution centers where many Palestinians face dangerous conditions and intense competition to obtain supplies.
- Medics reported that on a recent day, at least 51 Palestinians lost their lives due to Israeli military strikes and gunfire near aid distribution locations, amid nearly daily incidents resulting in fatalities during such efforts.
- The assault has killed nearly 55,600 Palestinians, displaced almost all of Gaza's two million residents, and caused a severe hunger crisis with inadequate shelter for over a million.
