GAZA, July 27, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 13 Palestinians, including two children, were killed and several others injured on Sunday after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on people waiting for humanitarian aid in northern and southern Gaza, according to medical sources.
In the south of the enclave, six civilians were killed near an aid distribution center to the southwest of Khan Younis, where crowds had gathered in hopes of receiving critical supplies amid the ongoing Israeli policy of systematic starvation in the besieged enclave.
Meanwhile, six more Palestinians were killed after being targeted by Israeli army gunfire near an aid distribution center on the outskirts of Rafah.
In central Gaza, at least one Palestinian was killed in a similar Israeli attack on aid seekers in the so-called Netzarim Corridor.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces targeted civilians waiting for aid near the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza, resulting in additional injuries. The exact number of wounded remains unclear.
These latest incidents follow a deadly attack on Saturday evening in which ten Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for aid in northwestern Gaza.
The ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has so far resulted in the killing of at least 59,733 people, mostly children and women, and the wounding of 144,477 others.
This figure remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue teams due to the relentless shelling and massive amount of debris.
