20 Palestinian civilians were killed and dozens more injured when an aid truck, forced onto a treacherous road by Israeli occupation forces, overturned on a crowd of starving people desperately seeking humanitarian aid in the central Gaza Strip.

According to medical sources, the incident unfolded as countless Palestinians, ravaged by hunger due to Israel’s relentless blockade and ongoing aggression, gathered to secure vital relief supplies. Local witnesses reported that the occupation authorities deliberately diverted the truck onto an unsafe route, leading to the catastrophic accident that claimed innocent lives.

This horrific event lays bare the unbearable suffering inflicted on Gaza’s people, where the simple act of seeking food has become a deadly ordeal. The absence of urgent international intervention continues to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe caused by Israel’s oppressive policies.

Compounding the tragedy, 52 aid workers have been killed as of yesterday, with 352 injured. The total number of Palestinian aid-seekers martyred has now reached 1,568, with 11,230 wounded, highlighting the escalating toll of Israel’s actions on Gaza’s vulnerable population. (ILKHA)
