Gaza Government Media Office says at least 549 Palestinians killed near aid sites since GHF began operations one month ago.
More than 30 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as Israel’s national security minister called for a “complete halt” of humanitarian aid supplies to the Palestinian territory.
Local health authorities said on Thursday that Israeli air attacks killed at least 15 people in two separate attacks in Gaza City, including nine people who were killed at a school housing displaced families in the city’s Sheikh Radwan suburb. A separate strike killed nine people near a tent encampment in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave.
Hospital sources told Al Jazeera that nine people were killed and wounded in a drone attack on Deir el-Balah’s market street, sending Wednesday’s death toll from Israeli attacks above 30.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that three people were killed and others injured by Israeli army fire while waiting for humanitarian aid near a distribution point at the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, the latest in a series of killings at aid distribution points set up by the controversial US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
