Deir al -Balah, Gaza Strip – At least 31 Palestinians were fatally slaughtered on their way to a help distribution site in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, while Israeli air strikes killed at least 28 Palestinians, including four children, said officials and witnesses of the Palestinian hospital.
There was No signs of breakthrough In ceasefire discussions after Two days of meetings Between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said he was approaching an agreement between Israel and Hamas that would potentially finish war.
The 31 Palestinians slaughtered were on the way to a distribution site led by the American organization supported by Israel Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Near Rafah in southern Gaza, hospital officials and witnesses said.
The Red Cross said that its hospital on the ground had seen its greatest influx of deaths in more than a year of operation after the shots, and that the overwhelming majority of the more than 100 people injured by ball injuries.
Deir al-Balah’s air strikes from Central Gaza killed 13, including the four children, said officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital. Fifteen others were killed in Khan Younis in the South, according to Nasser Hospital. The Israeli army did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
Intense air strikes continued on Saturday evening in the Beit Hanoun district in northern Gaza.
The Israelis still joined a cease-fire contract. “Arrogance is what caused us a disaster,” said old hostage Eli Sharabi about Israeli leaders.
The teenager’s first attempt to collect food ends with death
The 21 -month war has left a large part of the Gaza population of more than 2 million people dependent on external aid while food security experts warn against famine. Israel blocked and then restricted the entrance to the help after the end of the last ceasefire in March.
“All the reactive people said they were trying to access food distribution sites,” said the Red Cross after shots near Rafah, noting the “alarming frequency and scale” of these mass victims’ incidents.
The Israeli army said that it had drawn warning plans to people who, according to them, behaved with suspicion to prevent them from approaching. He said he was not aware of any victim. The GHF said that no incident occurred near its sites.
Abdullah al-Haddad said it was 655 feet from the aid distribution site managed by the GHF near the Shakoush region when an Israeli reservoir began to shoot Palestinians.
“We were together and they pulled us right away,” he said, twisted in pain in a leg injury in Nasser hospital.
Mohammed Jamal al-Sahloo, another witness, said that the Israeli army had ordered them to go to the site at the start of the shooting.
The 17-year-old son of Sumaya Al-Sha’er, Nasir, was killed, said hospital officials.
“He said to me, ‘Mom, you don’t have flour and today I’m going to bring you flour, even if I die, I’m going to get it”, “she said.” But he never got home. “
Until then, she said, she had prevented the teenager from going to GHF sites because she thought it was too dangerous.
Witnesses, health officials and UN officials say hundreds have been killed by Israeli fires while heading for GHF distribution points through the military prohibited the independent media. The soldiers admitted to having drawn warning plans on the Palestinians who, according to him, approached his forces suspiciously.
The GHF denies that there has been violence in or around its sites. But two of his entrepreneurs told the Associated Press that their colleagues had dismissed living ammunition and deafening grenades while the Palestinians rushed for food, the allegations refused by the Foundation.
In a separate effort, the UN and UN aid groups say they find it difficult to distribute humanitarian aid due to Israeli military restrictions and a rupture of the law and the order that have led to a common looting.
The first fuel – 150,000 liters – entered Gaza this week after 130 days, said a joint declaration of the United Nations aid bodies, calling this a small amount for “the backbone of survival in Gaza”. The fuel directs hospitals, water systems, transport and more, according to the press release.
The activists led by Hamas killed some 1,200 people in their attack on October 7, 2023 against Israel which sparked the war and removed 251. Hamas still holds around fifty hostages, with at least 20 which should remain alive.
Israel’s reprisal offensive killed more than 57,800 Palestinians, including more than half of women and children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. The ministry, under the government of Gaza, managed by Hamas, does not make the difference between civilians and combatants in its count. The UN and other international organizations consider its figures as the most reliable statistics on losses of war.
A Palestinian-American killed in the West Bank
Friends and relatives paid tribute one day after the Palestinian-American Seifeddin Musalat and his local friend Mohammed Al-Shalabi were killed in the West Bank occupied by Israeli, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Musalat was beaten to death by Israeli settlers on the land of his family, said his cousin Diana Halum. The settlers then prevented the paramedical paramedics from reaching it, she said.
Musalat, born in Florida, visited his family home. His family hopes that the US State Department is investigating their death and holding the responsible settlers. The State Department said he was aware of the reports of his death but had no comments out of respect for the family.
A witness, speaking under the cover of anonymity to avoid Israeli reprisals, said that the colonists were going down on Palestinian lands and “began to shoot us, beating with sticks and throwing stones”.
The Israeli army said the Palestinians had launched stones on the Israelis in the region earlier Friday, slightly injuring two people and triggering greater confrontation.
Palestinians and rights defending rights have long accused the army of having ignored the violence of the colonists, which increased – as well as the Palestinian attacks and the Israeli military raids – since the start of the war in Gaza.
