GAZA, PALESTINE - AUG. 6: More than 20 Palestinians, including children, were killed by Israeli gunfire while waiting for aid delivery near a distribution point in western Rafah in southern Gaza on Wednesday (Aug. 6).

The group of Palestinians had been walking towards the aid distribution point through the “Murac Corridor” at north of Rafah when Israeli army opened fire on aid seekers.

The bodies of victims were taken to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, south of Gaza.

Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza for 18 years and, since March 2, has shut down all crossings, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and worsening conditions for the territory’s 2.4 million population.

According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel had allowed in just 843 aid trucks since July 27 – far short of the 6,000 trucks required to meet the daily needs of residents over 10 days.

Palestinian figures show that at least 1,568 aid seekers have been killed and 11,230 others injured by Israeli fire near US-run aid distribution centers in Gaza since May 27.

Gazan authorities accuse the Israeli army of "engineering chaos and starvation" in the enclave by deliberately refraining from securing the aid trucks and forcing Palestinians to seek previously bombed and non-restored roads "packed with starving civilians."

The Israeli-crafted aid scheme has been widely criticized as being a “death trap” for starving civilians.

Israel has been facing mounting outrage over its destructive war on Gaza, where more than 61,000 people have been killed since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave and brought it to the verge of famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
