Four more aid seekers have been killed by Israeli soldiers near an aid distribution point in central Gaza, Al Jazeera reported on Friday, citing sources at al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat. Before today, Israel has killed 610 starving people seeking aid near distribution points since 27 May, when the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing food at four distribution points in southern and central Gaza, but not northern Gaza, leaving residents there in a food vacuum.

Israel using starvation and aid to inflict genocide in Gaza: Amnesty
Amnesty International has condemned Israel for deliberately using starvation as a weapon for war in Gaza, with the controversial Israel-US backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) serving as a tool to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe and sustain the ongoing genocide. In a report released on Thursday, the UK-based rights organisation said Israel is systematically inflicting starvation and disease on Palestinians by manipulating humanitarian relief efforts. The GHF, an organisation imposed on Gaza by Washington and Tel Aviv, has not only been used to sidestep the United Nations but has also, according to Amnesty, played a central role in militarising aid. 'Israel's genocide has continued unabated in Gaza, including through the infliction of conditions of life that have created a deadly mix of hunger and disease pushing the population past breaking point,' said Amnesty's secretary general, Agnes Callamard. The report compiled from "heartbreaking testimonies" from medical staff, parents of malnourished children, and displaced Palestinians paint a harrowing picture of extreme "starvation and desperation".

"This devastating daily loss of life as desperate Palestinians try to collect aid is the consequence of their deliberate targeting by Israeli forces and the foreseeable consequence of irresponsible and lethal methods of distribution,' said Callamard.
