UN calls for investigation into killings near Gaza aid distribution site

  • On June 1, 2025, at least 31 Palestinians were killed and 176 wounded near a US-backed aid distribution centre in Rafah, Gaza, amid gunfire.
  • The incident happened before the aid centre opened and involved Israeli troops firing warning shots at suspects about one kilometre away, amid disputed accounts.
  • Witnesses described drones and tanks firing on civilians seeking food, while Israeli officials denied firing directly at civilians and blamed Hamas for spreading false reports.
  • UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the killings appalling, urging an immediate independent investigation and accountability for perpetrators without assigning blame.
  • The incident highlights ongoing humanitarian challenges in Gaza amid a recent easing of a two-month aid blockade, escalating international pressure on Israel and failed ceasefire talks.
