Zionist Strikes on Gaza Aid Sites Kill Nearly 1,000, Worsening Humanitarian Crisis
The number of casualties in the so-called “death traps” of aid distribution sites targeted by the Zionist occupation forces has reached 995 fatalities, 6,011 injuries, and 45 individuals reported missing since May 27, according to WAFA news agency, citing medical sources in Gaza.
The sources confirmed that all victims were civilians attempting to access food aid before these distribution sites were turned into killing fields, subjected to direct sniper and gunfire attacks by the occupation forces, in a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights principles.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the overall death toll from the ongoing Zionist aggression since October 7, 2023, has reached 58,895, with 140,980 injured.
Many victims remain trapped under rubble or in the streets, with rescue and ambulance teams unable to reach them due to heavy bombardment and the dangerous conditions on the ground.
This latest escalation comes as the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with UN agencies warning of a looming disaster for millions of Palestinians living under siege. The crisis is exacerbated by the ongoing attacks on shelters and aid distribution areas, the closure of border crossings, and the blockade on the entry of essential humanitarian and medical supplies.
