Gaza Rescuers Say Israeli Fire Kills 36, Six Near Aid Centre
- On Saturday, at least 36 Palestinians lost their lives due to actions by Israeli forces, including six who were shot near a US-supported aid distribution site in the Rafah area of Gaza.
- The fatalities occurred during an ongoing Israeli military operation that was launched in response to Hamas's assault earlier in October 2023, a conflict that has resulted in the deaths of over 54,000 Palestinians.
- Thousands had gathered near the Al-Alam roundabout to seek humanitarian aid when Israeli forces fired warning shots and then directly at civilians advancing toward the aid center.
- According to civil defense spokesperson Mahmud Bassal, around 7:00 am, six individuals lost their lives and numerous others were injured when Israeli military personnel opened fire near the Al-Alam roundabout.
- The incident highlights critical challenges in aid delivery during the war, as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation suspended distributions on Saturday citing "direct threats" from Hamas.
