Gazan health officials say at least 25 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire as they approached an aid site operated by the Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the central Strip.
There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
The tolls given by medical officials at Shifa and Al-Quds Hospitals cannot be verified. Israel has long charged that the hospitals are under the control of the Hamas terror group.
It is unclear when the reported shooting near the Netzarim Corridor took place. Last week, the IDF warned Palestinians not to approach routes leading to Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. local time, describing these roads as closed military zones.
The GHF has faced heavy scrutiny from other aid bodies, as well as the UN and foreign countries, which say that it does not sufficiently address the humanitarian needs in the war-torn Palestinian enclave.
Critics have also accused GHF of putting aid seekers in harm’s way, with operations beset by deadly incidents for multiple days in a row.
Israel says the mechanism is required to keep aid out of the hands of Hamas.
