At least 30 Palestinians were killed and over 115 others wounded Sunday morning in a new massacre committed by Israeli occupation forces near an aid distribution centre west of Rafah in southern Gaza, Palestinian News & Information Agency (WAFA) reported Sunday.

According to local sources, Israeli occupation forces opened fire directly at hundreds of civilians as they attempted to reach an aid distribution centre in the al-Mawasi area of western Rafah.

The indiscriminate shooting resulted in a high number of casualties, with victims falling while seeking food and humanitarian assistance.

This incident follows a disturbing pattern in recent days, during which Israeli forces have killed 17 Palestinians and wounded dozens more as they tried to access aid distribution areas.

These attacks come amid a systematic starvation policy imposed by Israel, which has kept Gaza’s crossings sealed for over 90 days—blocking the entry of vital humanitarian supplies, particularly food—driving much of the population to the brink of famine.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 54,381 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 124,381 others injured.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
