Medical charity Doctors Without Borders yesterday said the staff at Nasser Hospital in Gaza's Khan Younis are working in dire conditions, facing severe shortages of medical supplies.

"There is no room for all of the patients. We have patients in corridors… and more come in today, dead and wounded," Claire Menara, an emergency coordinator with Doctors Without Borders, told Al Jazeera.

The NGO, known by its French name MSF, blamed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid distribution system for chaos at the scene in the southern Gaza town of Rafah on Sunday that killed 31 Palestinians.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres yesterday called for an independent investigation into the deaths of Palestinians near the aid distribution site.

Meanwhile, a man yelling "Free Palestine" used a makeshift flamethrower to torch protesters rallying in support of Israeli hostages, injuring at least eight people in the US state of Colorado on Sunday evening.

The FBI said it was investigating the incident as a "targeted terror attack" and identified the suspect as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, reports AFP.

In Gaza, civil defence agency said an Israeli strike on a home in the northern town of Jabalia killed 14 people yesterday.

Israeli forces destroyed the only facility for kidney dialysis patients in the north of the enclave. The troops also demolished the wall of the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis, while also carrying out bulldozing activities in the vicinity of the hospital.

On Sunday evening, Qatar and Egypt announced plans to step up efforts for truce negotiations, as the Palestinian group Hamas said it was prepared to "immediately" hold a fresh round of talks.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said that Israel's blocking of a visit by Arab diplomats to the occupied West Bank showed its "rejection of... a diplomatic path to peace".

Speaking at a joint press conference in Amman with his Jordanian on Sunday evening, Egyptian and Bahraini counterparts, Prince Faisal said Israel's move "illustrates and confirms its extremism and its rejection of any serious attempt to engage in a diplomatic path toward peace... it is clear that they only want violence."​

Israeli fire killed at least three Palestinians and wounded dozens of others near an aid distribution site operated by the US-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, local health authorities said on Monday.

The Israeli military said it was aware of reports of casualties and the incident was being thoroughly looked into.

It said in a statement that troops operating overnight in Rafah, which is under full Israeli military control, in the southern Gaza Strip, had fired warning shots "to prevent several suspects approaching them", adding the incident took place about 1 km (0.6 miles) away from the aid distribution site.

The GHF, a private group sponsored by the United States and endorsed by Israel, said there had been no fatalities or injuries at its distribution site or the surrounding area.

Reuters could not independently verify what took place.

The reported incident was the latest in a series underscoring the volatile security situation that has complicated aid delivery to Gaza, following the easing last month of an almost three-month Israeli blockade.

On Sunday, Palestinian and international officials said at least 31 people were killed and dozens wounded near the same site, one of four operated by the GHF in Rafah.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Monday he was appalled by reports of Palestinians killed and injured while seeking aid in Gaza on Sunday, and called for an independent investigation.

The Israeli military denied firing at people gathering to collect aid, and the GHF said Sunday's distribution was carried out without incident, describing reports of deaths as fabricated by Hamas.

In a separate statement, the Israeli military said that in the past day its forces expanded ground operations in the Gaza Strip, killed gunmen, and dismantled weapons storage facilities and military infrastructure above and under the ground.

Meanwhile, the Gaza health ministry said Israeli strikes across the enclave had killed 51 people and wounded 500 others in the past 24 hours. Local health authorities said at least 16 of those were killed at a house in Jabalia, in northern Gaza, earlier on Monday.

RISK OF FAMINE

The GHF said Monday's deliveries raised the number of meals it has distributed since it began operations to nearly 6 million.

The United Nations has said most of Gaza's 2 million population is at risk of famine after an 11-week Israeli blockade on aid entering the strip.

The GHF launched its first distribution sites last week and said it would launch more.

Its aid plan, which bypasses traditional aid groups, has come under fierce criticism from the UN and humanitarian organisations, which say the GHF does not follow humanitarian principles.

The Palestinian NGOs Network urged a boycott of what it called the "U.S.-Israeli aid mechanism" in protest over the killings on Sunday.

At Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, relatives of Hussam Wafi, a 37-year-old father-of-six, who was killed near the aid site on Sunday, arrived to pay their last respects before burial. Wafi's brother Ali said the victims were driven by hunger.

“The U.S. and Israel, what do they tell us? Go and get your food and water, and the aid. When the aid arrives, they hit us. Is this fair?" Wafi told Reuters.

"They were going peacefully, they were killed. They went to get food and water for their children, to get a can of hummus or fava beans, a box or whatever is available, and they got shot, they died,” Wafi's neighbour, Abu Youssef, told Reuters.

CEASEFIRE TALKS TO RESUME

Israel and Hamas, meanwhile, traded blame for the faltering of a new Arab and US mediation bid to secure a temporary ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza by Hamas, in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli jails.

On Monday, a Palestinian official close to the mediation effort said Hamas leaders were in constant contact with Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo and Doha.

Israel says it accepts a temporary truce to release hostages, but that war can only end once Hamas is driven out of Gaza.

Israel began its offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli tallies, and saw 251 taken as hostages into Gaza.

Israel's campaign has devastated much of Gaza, killing more than 54,000 Palestinians and destroying most buildings. Much of the population now lives in shelters in makeshift camps.​

The International Committee of the Red Cross said its field hospital in Gaza's Rafah city recorded 27 deaths on Tuesday, matching a toll given by rescuers after Israeli forces had opened fire near an aid centre.

"Early this morning, the 60-bed Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah received a mass casualty influx of 184 patients. This includes 19 cases who were declared dead upon arrival and eight more who died due to their wounds shortly after," the ICRC said, adding that survivors said they had been "trying to reach an assistance distribution site".​

Israeli fire kills 27 near Gaza aid point

Rescuers said the Israeli military killed at least 27 people near a US-backed aid centre in Gaza on Tuesday, with the army reporting it had fired on ‘suspects who advanced toward the troops’.

Rescuers said the Israeli military killed at least 27 people near a US-backed aid centre in Gaza on Tuesday, with the army reporting it had fired on ‘suspects who advanced toward the troops’.

The UN human rights chief condemned such attacks on civilians as ‘a war crime’ after a similar shooting in the same area on Sunday killed and wounded scores of Palestinians seeking aid, according to the civil defence agency.

Tuesday’s deaths in the southern city of Rafah came as rescuers reported 19 people killed in other Israeli attacks in the territory, and as the Israeli army announced three soldiers had been killed in northern Gaza.

‘Twenty-seven people were killed and more than 90 injured in the massacre targeting civilians who were waiting for American aid in the Al-Alam area of Rafah,’ said civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal, who earlier said the deaths occurred ‘when Israeli forces opened fire with tanks and drones’.

The Al-Alam roundabout is about a kilometre (just over half a mile) from a centre run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a recently formed group that Israel has worked with to implement a new aid distribution mechanism in the territory.

The United Nations and major aid groups have refused to cooperate with the group over concerns it was designed to cater to Israeli military objectives.

The military said a crowd was moving towards the aid centre when troops saw them ‘deviating from the designated access routes’.

‘The troops carried out warning fire, and after the suspects failed to retreat, additional shots were directed near a few individual suspects who advanced toward the troops,’ it said, adding it was looking into reports of casualties.

At Nasser Hospital, the husband and children of Reem Al-Akhras, who was killed at Al-Alam, were beside themselves with grief.

‘How can I let you go, mum?’ her son Zain Zidan said through tears as he cradled her white-shrouded head outside the hospital.

‘She went to bring us some food, and this is what happened to her.’

Akhras’s husband, Mohamed Zidan, said ‘every day, unarmed people’ were being killed.

‘They carry no weapons or knives — just bags to collect aid.

‘This is not humanitarian aid, it’s a trap,’ he said.

Rania al-Astal, 30, said she had gone to Al-Alam with her husband to try to get food.

‘The shooting began intermittently around 5:00 am. Every time people approached Al-Alam roundabout, they were fired upon,’ she said.

‘But people didn’t care and rushed forward all at once — that’s when the army began firing heavily.’

Fellow witness Mohammed al-Shaer, 44, said at first ‘the Israeli army fired shots into the air, then began shooting directly at the people’.

In the end, he said, ‘I didn’t reach the centre, and we didn’t get any food.’

The army maintained it was ‘not preventing the arrival of Gazan civilians to the humanitarian aid distribution sites’.

GHF said the operations at its site went ahead safely on Tuesday, but added it was aware the military was ‘investigating whether a number of civilians were injured’.

‘This was an area well beyond our secure distribution site and operations area,’ it added, advising ‘all civilians to remain in the safe corridor when travelling to our distribution sites’.

The previous shooting on Sunday killed at least 31 people at the Al-Alam roundabout as they congregated before heading to the aid centre, rescuers said.

A military source later acknowledged ‘warning shots were fired towards several suspects’ about a kilometre from the aid site on Sunday.

UN chief Antonio Guterres urged an independent investigation into that shooting, calling it ‘unacceptable that Palestinians are risking their lives for food’.

‘Deadly attacks on distraught civilians trying to access the paltry amounts of food aid in Gaza are unconscionable,’ UN human rights chief Volker Turk said after Tuesday’s deaths.

‘Attacks directed against civilians constitute a grave breach of international law and a war crime.’

Israel has come under mounting pressure to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where people are facing severe shortages after Israel imposed a more than two-month blockade on supplies.

The blockade was recently eased, but the aid community has urged Israel to allow in more food, faster.

The US-backed GHF says it has distributed more than seven million meals’ worth of food.

Israel has stepped up its offensive in what it says is a renewed push to defeat Hamas, whose October 2023 attack on Israel sparked the war.

The army said three of its soldiers had been killed in combat in northern Gaza, bringing the number of Israeli troops killed in the territory since the start of the conflict to 424.

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said at least 4,240 people have been killed in the territory since Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, taking the war’s overall toll to 54,510, mostly civilians.

Hamas’s 2023 attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, also mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.​

Israeli strike kills 12 in south Gaza
Gaza City - Palestinian Territories 05 June, 2025, 04:42

THE civil defence agency in Gaza said an Israeli strike on a tent housing displaced Palestinians near the southern city of Khan Yunis on Wednesday killed at least 12 people.

At least 12 people were killed, including several children and women, in a strike by an Israeli drone this morning on a tent for displaced persons' near Khan Yunis, the agency's spokesman Mahmud Bassal said, adding that four more people had been killed in other strikes. Since a truce collapsed in March, Israel has intensified its operations to destroy Hamas, the Palestinian group whose October 7, 2023 attack triggered the war in Gaza. Hamas's unprecedented attack resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says at least 4,240 people have been killed in the territory since Israel re- sumed its offensive on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 54,510, mostly civilians. Meanwhile, a US and Israeli-backed group operating aid sites in the Gaza Strip announced the temporary closure of the facilities on Wednesday, with the Israeli army warning that roads leading to distribution centres were​

Doctors in the Gaza Strip are donating their own blood to save their patients after scores of Palestinians were gunned down while trying to get food aid, the medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Thursday.

Around 100 MSF staff protested outside the UN headquarters in Geneva against an aid distribution system in Gaza run by an Israeli-backed private company, which has led to chaotic scenes of mass carnage.

“People need the basics of life...they also need it in dignity,” MSF Switzerland’s director general, Stephen Cornish, told Reuters at the protest.

“If you’re fearing for your life, running with packages being mowed down, this is just something that is completely beyond everything we’ve ever seen,” he said. “These attacks have killed dozens...They were left to bleed out on the ground.”

Cornish said staff at one of the hospitals where MSF operates had to give blood as most Palestinians are now too poorly nourished to donate.

Israel allowed the private Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to begin food distribution in Gaza last week, after having completely shut the Gaza Strip to all supplies since the beginning of March.

Gaza authorities say at least 102 Palestinians were killed and nearly 500 wounded trying to get aid from the food distribution sites in the first eight days.

Eyewitnesses have said Israeli forces fired on crowds. The Israeli military said Hamas militants were to blame for opening fire, though it acknowledged that on Tuesday, when at least 27 people died, that its troops had fired at “suspects” who approached their positions.

The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Wednesday supported by all other Council members, which would have called for an “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza and unhindered access for aid.​
