93 Palestinians Killed As Israeli Forces Open Fire Near Aid Convoys, Says Gaza Agency

At least 85 Palestinians seeking aid were killed in Gaza on Sunday after Israeli forces allegedly opened fire on them, the Associated Press reported.

The largest toll was reported from the northern part of the besieged Palestinian enclave, where at least 79 Palestinians were killed while trying to reach aid entering through the Zikim crossing with Israel, Zaher al-Waheidi, an official from Gaza’s health ministry told the news agency.

The United Nations’ Nations’ Nations’ World Food Programme said that 25 trucks with aid for “starving communities” had entered through the crossing when it encountered massive crowds. “As the convoy approached, the surrounding crowd came under fire from Israeli tanks, snipers and other gunfire,” it said on X.
