Zionist military kills 41 in Gaza
GAZA: Women mourn by the body of a person who was killed following reported Zionist attacks on aid queues in the Sudaniya area in northwestern Gaza, at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City on June 14, 2025. – AFP GAZA: Gaza's civil defense agency reported 41 people killed in military operations in the Palestinian territory Saturday, more than half of whom it said were killed while waiting for aid. "Forty-one people were martyred due to the ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip, 23 of whom were waiting for aid," Mohammad Al-Mughayyir, an official from the agency, told AFP. The Zionist military did not respond to AFP's request for comment. Zionist restrictions on media in Gaza and the difficulties of access on the ground mean AFP is unable to independently verify the casualty tolls provided by the civil defense agency. Central Gaza's Al-Awda hospital received eight bodies and 125 wounded after drone strikes targeted people gathering near an aid distribution centre near the Netzarim corridor, Mughayyir said. Gaza City's Al-Shifa Hospital received 11 bodies after an attack on people seeking aid on Saturday, he added, while four others were taken to the Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza and Nasser hospital in the south. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed while trying to reach Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution points since the US- and Zionist-backed organization began operating in late May, according to the civil defense agency. An officially private effort with opaque funding, the GHF began operating on May 26 after Zionists cut off supplies into Gaza for more than two months, sparking international condemnation and warnings of imminent famine. Mughayyir said that 18 people were killed in the north and south of the territory during various attacks by the Zionist army, including seven in Gaza City. The Gaza Strip has been ravaged by more than 20 months of war between Zionist and Palestinian militant group Hamas, with the situation continuing to deteriorate on the ground. Nasser Hospital, one of the last partly functioning health facilities, has been targeted by airstrikes in recent days, according to medical sources who spoke to AFP. AFP journalists on the ground reported that internet and fixed line communications were down in Gaza for the third consecutive day. The Palestinian Authority's telecommunications ministry said Thursday that Zionist forces targeted a fibre optic cable, triggering the outage.- AFP

At least 43 people killed by Israeli forces, say Gaza rescuers
Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed at least 43 people today, including 26 who had gathered near an aid distribution centre, the latest in a string of deadly incidents targeting aid seekers in the Palestinian territory. "Forty-three martyrs have fallen as a result of the ongoing Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip since dawn today, 26 of whom were waiting for humanitarian aid," Mohammad Al-Mughayyir, director of medical supply at the civil defence agency in Gaza, said. Yesterday, the civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed at least 72 people, including 21 who had gathered near aid distribution sites. At least 300 Palestinians have been killed in recent weeks while trying to reach aid distribution points in Gaza, which is suffering from famine-like conditions, the Hamas-run territory's health ministry has said. Israeli restrictions on media in Gaza and difficulties in accessing some areas mean media outlets are unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by rescuers and authorities in the Palestinian territory. In early March, Israel imposed an aid blockade on Gaza amid a deadlock in truce negotiations, only partially easing restrictions in late May. After Israel loosened its blockade, the privately run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing aid but its operations have been marred by chaotic scenes. UN agencies and major aid groups have refused to cooperate with the foundation - which has the support of Israel and its ally the United States - over concerns it was designed to cater to Israeli military objectives.
