At least 35 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers’ gunfire in Gaza

At least 35 Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers’ gunfire in Gaza, raising serious humanitarian concerns amid ongoing regional violence.

At least 35 Palestinians were killed on Friday after Israeli forces opened fire on civilians gathered to receive humanitarian aid in central Gaza. According to medical sources at Al-Awda Hospital, most of the victims were waiting in line for food when they were shot.

Witnesses told Al Jazeera that those hit by gunfire had been gathered at an aid distribution center. Many of the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment as emergency services struggled to cope with the sudden influx of casualties.

Separately, an Israeli airstrike struck a house in western Deir al-Balah, killing eight people and wounding many others. Medical teams continued searching for survivors under the rubble after the attack.

Health officials across Gaza confirmed that over 50 people had been killed on Friday alone due to ongoing Israeli attacks. The rising death toll has further strained already-overstretched hospitals and humanitarian networks in the region.

Meanwhile, humanitarian organizations continue to warn of deteriorating conditions in Gaza. According to the World Health Organization, restricted access to food, water, and medicine is pushing civilians deeper into crisis as the conflict escalates.

Rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, have called for immediate international intervention to prevent further civilian casualties. They stress that humanitarian access must be ensured under international law.

With the situation worsening each day, humanitarian agencies urge an immediate ceasefire and safe corridors for relief supplies. Without urgent action, they say, the civilian death toll will continue to rise and deepen Gaza’s humanitarian disaster.
