UNICEF Condemns 'Unconscionable' Killing of Children in Gaza During Aid Distribution
DEIR AL-BALAH, GAZA STRIP, JUL 10 – Fifteen Palestinians, including ten children, were killed while waiting for nutritional aid as Israel targeted a Hamas militant, amid worsening famine and ongoing conflict in Gaza, UNICEF said.
- On Thursday, an Israeli airstrike hit a crowd waiting for nutritional aid near a clinic in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 Palestinians, among them several children and women.
- The attack occurred amid a broader war triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023, militant assault on Israel, which led to over 59,000 Palestinian deaths and displacement of much of Gaza's population.
- The Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas fighter involved in the October 7 attack and acknowledged opening fire near aid sites, while rejecting claims of indiscriminate killings and accusing Hamas of fueling chaos.
- Unicef chief Catherine Russell condemned the killings as "unconscionable," warning that insufficient aid worsens starvation amid a near-total blockade that has devastated Gaza's infrastructure and caused widespread malnutrition.
- Despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, little progress has been made, while aid distribution faces obstacles and Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens.
