Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed at least 27 Palestinians in Gaza early Saturday, including 16 who were waiting for humanitarian aid, sources said. Only 73 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza on Friday, far below the minimum daily requirement to sustain life amid Israel's ongoing blockade, the government media office in the enclave also said Saturday.
According to medical sources, 12 bodies were transferred to the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City after Israeli forces opened fire at the aid distribution area along the Netzarim Corridor.
Three Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid near distribution centers on Al-Tina Street in southern Khan Younis were shot dead by Israeli forces.
In the town of Al-Zawaida, an Israeli airstrike targeted a family home killing five members of the same family including three children.
Another Palestinian was killed and several others wounded in a separate Israeli strike on a civilian gathering also in Al-Zawaida.
