Five Palestinians killed, 58 injured by Israeli occupation’s fire near “Zikim” crossing

GAZA, July 24 (YPA) – At least Palestinian 63 civilians were killed and injured on Wednesday evening after the Israeli enemy opened fire on people waiting for aid near “Zikim,” northwest of Gaza City.

The Palestinian Safa News Agency reported that five civilians were killed and 58 others were injured by the occupation army’s gunfire in northern Gaza as they were seeking aid.

Hospital sources in Gaza documented that a total of 77 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire since dawn on Wednesday, including 25 aid seekers.

Israeli violations against civilians at aid distribution areas have escalated sharply, turning these gathering points into recurring targets in recent weeks. Human rights organizations have described this pattern as a “deliberate policy of starvation and collective humiliation.”

The total number of Palestinians killed at Israeli-American aid distribution centers in Gaza has now risen to 995 martyrs, with over 6,011 wounded and 45 missing, all of them starving civilians in search of food amid the siege and famine.
