Five Palestinians killed as Israeli occupation forces open fire on aid seekers in Gaza

GAZA, June 15  (YPA) – At least five Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Sunday morning after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in central and southern Gaza, according to Palestinian sources.

The victims were among a group of people gathered near the former Netzarim corridor in central Gaza, awaiting food aid deliveries.

Medical sources confirmed that the three people were killed at the scene, while multiple others sustained injuries in the incident.

In Khan Younis, two Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli forces fired on a separate group waiting for assistance.

Just prior to that, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Hamad City, north of Khan Younis.

Over the past weeks, Israeli occupation forces have consistently targeted aid seekers across the Gaza Strip, particularly in Rafah and central Gaza.

These repeated assaults have led to the killing of dozens and injuries to many more, drawing strong condemnation from international organizations.
