At Least 50 Killed in Gaza Aid Attack

At least 50 Palestinians were killed and over 200 wounded as Israeli forces fired on crowds awaiting food aid near a distribution point in Khan Younis, Gaza, overwhelming local hospitals and worsening the humanitarian crisis. Eyewitnesses and officials described the attack as a massacre involving drone and tank shelling, while the Israeli military stated it is investigating the incident and expressed regret for civilian harm. The World Health Organization reported that most Gaza hospitals are only partially operational, with critical shortages of medical supplies and no fuel entering for more than 100 days. Deadly attacks at aid sites are part of a broader pattern, as severe restrictions on humanitarian access continue amid widespread starvation and displacement. A near-total media and communications blackout, attributed to Israeli strikes, has further isolated Gaza and hampered emergency response. Humanitarian agencies and survivors are urging renewed international attention and action as the crisis deepens.
