Death toll from Israeli attacks on aid seekers in Rafah rises to 30

Middle East Eye6 days ago
The death toll from Israeli attacks on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in the Al-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza City, has risen to 30, with at least 60 others wounded, according to medics.
Israeli forces opened fire on starving Palestinian civilians gathered in the area waiting to receive food aid.
The total number of Palestinians killed while attempting to access humanitarian aid reached 891 on Saturday, with more than 5,754 wounded.
Palestinian health officials said hundreds of people could soon die as hospitals were inundated with patients suffering from dizziness and exhaustion due to the scarcity of food.
"We warn that hundreds of people whose bodies have wasted away are at risk of imminent death due to hunger," the health ministry said.

Israel will let foreign countries drop aid into Gaza, Israel army radio says

Israel will allow foreign countries to parachute aid into Gaza starting on Friday, Israeli army radio quoted a military official as saying. An Israeli military spokesperson did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment on the report. The Gaza health ministry says more than 100 people have died from starvation in Gaza since Israel cut off supplies to the territory in March. Israel, which has been at war with Hamas in Gaza since October 2023, lifted that blockade in May but has restrictions in place that it says are needed to prevent aid from being diverted to other groups. In the first two weeks of July, the UN children's agency UNICEF treated 5,000 children facing acute malnutrition in Gaza. World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday Gaza was suffering man-made mass starvation caused by a blockade on aid into the enclave.
