51 people lost their lives and 60 others injured when Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in the Al-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza City, medical sources told Anadolu.
Two more Palestinians were killed in a separate Israeli strike near the Al-Shakoush aid distribution center, north of Rafah in southern Gaza, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The attacks come amid a surge in Israeli assaults on Palestinians gathering in search of food and aid. According to official sources, the total death toll of those killed while seeking humanitarian aid has reached 891, with over 5,754 others injured since May 27.
Separately, three people were killed when Israeli drones dropped bombs near the Sheikh Radwan water basin in northern Gaza City.
Israeli ground forces also carried out demolition operations in the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya, blowing up multiple homes.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled several areas in eastern Gaza City, while Israeli naval vessels opened fire toward Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Al-Qarara, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Sunday’s escalation adds to the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On Saturday alone, Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed over 130 Palestinians throughout the territory, including 38 individuals who were awaiting humanitarian aid and three children who succumbed to severe malnutrition, according to official Palestinian sources.
