Gaza: More than 30 people killed 'as Israeli troops open fire towards Palestinians waiting for aid' | 19 July 2025 | More than 30 people have been killed after Israeli troops opened fire towards crowds of Palestinians waiting for aid, according to witnesses and hospital officials. The deaths occurred near distribution hubs operated by the U.S.-Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which began distributing food packages in Gaza at the end of May, after Israel eased its 11-week blockade of aid into the territory. At least 32 people were killed on Saturday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, while a further 100 people were injured, according to local reports... Mahmoud Mokeimar said he was walking with crowds of people -- mostly young men -- towards the food hub when troops fired warning shots as the crowd advanced, before opening fire towards the marching people. "It was a massacre...the occupation opened fire at us indiscriminately," he said.
