Israeli forces killed 15 Palestinians near a food distribution center Saturday. The shooting happened close to the Netzarim corridor where aid workers hand out supplies. Doctors at two Gaza hospitals confirmed the deaths from the attack. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation runs the aid site with American and Israeli support. Medical teams treated victims at Al-Awda and Al-Aqsa hospitals.
Gaza health officials say 274 people have died near aid centers since operations began. Over 2,000 Palestinians suffered injuries during similar incidents across the territory. Israeli military leaders declared the routes around aid sites as danger zones. Soldiers warn civilians to avoid these areas between evening and morning hours. Aid groups often work during banned times creating dangerous situations.
The United Nations and other organizations criticize the humanitarian foundation's methods. Critics argue the system puts innocent people at unnecessary risk. Several deadly shootings occurred near distribution points during recent days. Israeli officials claim the security measures prevent Hamas from stealing food and medicine. Gaza residents face hunger and need supplies despite the military restrictions.
