The United Nations human rights office has documented a series of attacks on Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza, with hunger spreading due to Israel’s near complete siege on the enclave. The office has reported at least 26 attacks since mid-January, including a recent incident where 20 people were killed at an aid convoy.
Israeli forces have been accused of targeting civilians at aid distribution points, leading to multiple deaths and injuries. The Israeli military, however, has denied these allegations and blamed Palestinian gunmen for the violence.
The situation in Gaza has become dire, with aid agencies warning of a looming famine. Despite Israel’s claims of facilitating aid delivery, restrictions and logistical challenges have hindered relief efforts. The United Nations has called on Israel to ensure the provision of food and medical care to meet Gaza’s urgent needs.
As the crisis escalates, the international community is closely monitoring the situation in Gaza and urging all parties to prioritize humanitarian assistance to prevent further suffering and loss of life.
