Death Toll Rises as Israel Kills 75 Starving Civilians at Israeli-US Aid Sites in Gaza - Quds News Network
- On May 27 to June 2, 2025, Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians queuing for food at US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund aid sites in Rafah and central Gaza, killing over 75 people and wounding more than 400.
- The shootings occurred amid an ongoing Israeli blockade and military campaign against Gaza following the breakdown of a ceasefire on March 18, 2025, causing severe famine and humanitarian crisis in the blockaded territory.
- Eyewitnesses reported Israeli drones and soldiers ordering civilians to enter fenced aid sites before opening fire without warning, while Gaza’s Health Ministry and UN officials condemned the attacks as deliberate targeting of civilians.
- UNRWA Commissioner Philippe Lazzarini called the aid distribution model a “death trap” forcing starving Palestinians to travel long distances to heavily bombarded areas, and Gaza Health Director Munir al-Barsh condemned the international silence amid stalled medical supplies at the border.
- The repeated killings at aid points and worsening famine raise urgent calls for independent investigations, accountability, lifting of the blockade, and aid delivery through the UN to prevent further civilian harm in Gaza.
