Israeli gunfire killed four people trying to get aid in central Gaza, according to health officials at Al-Awda Hospital, where the bodies were taken.
Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry says 15 people were killed and at least 206 others wounded seeking aid over the past 24 hours.
The Health Ministry also says 10 people died as a result of starvation and malnutrition over the last 24 hours, including three children. It said at least 332 Palestinians have now died from malnutrition-related causes during the war, including 124 children.
The numbers cannot be immediately confirmed, and Israel denies that a famine situation exists in the Strip, pointing to hundreds of tons of aid that have gone in in recent weeks.
Israel also denies targeting aid seekers but has acknowledged firing warning shots at those who are seen as endangering troops.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
