Over 80 Palestinians were killed in 24 hours as Israeli forces targeted aid centers, homes, medical teams, and journalists across Gaza.
At least 35 Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday in several areas across the Strip, Al-Jazeera reported, citing medical sources in Gaza.
The majority of the victims were civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in the central Gaza Strip.
Hospital officials confirmed that 25 Palestinians were killed near the Netzarim junction, south of Gaza City, after Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd gathered to receive aid.
The area is one of several so-called US-Israeli aid distribution centers, which Palestinians accuse of facilitating deadly ambushes rather than relief.
In a separate incident, the director of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah confirmed that an Israeli airstrike on a residential home killed eight Palestinians and wounded others.
Citing Al-Awda Hospital, Palestinian sources said four civilians were killed and more than 90 injured early Wednesday when Israeli forces struck a gathering of displaced people waiting for aid along Salah al-Din Street, also in central Gaza.
Civilians simply waiting for food at a humanitarian aid point near Netzarim in central Gaza were hit by Israeli strikes. This bloodshed, enabled by unwavering US support for Israel, is unbearable to watch. The world sees it.#IsraelTerroristState #TakeActionForGaza#GazaisDying pic.twitter.com/9XHOSlcURi

Israeli attacks also continued in southern Gaza. A source at the Nasser Medical Complex reported that four Palestinians were killed when a drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced families in the Mawasi area of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis.
Throughout the early hours of the day, Israeli warplanes and artillery launched a series of airstrikes and shelling campaigns targeting the vicinity of the Nasser Medical Complex and the Qizan Abu Rashwan and Al-Batn Al-Sameen neighborhoods in Khan Yunis Governorate.
According to updated figures from hospital sources, 82 Palestinians have been killed since dawn on Tuesday. Among them, 20 were shot while waiting for food near the Netzarim axis, close to the Nabulsi roundabout west of Gaza City.
Targeting of Medical Teams and Journalists
On Tuesday evening, three paramedics and Palestinian journalist Moamen Abu Al-Auf were killed when Israeli forces struck a rescue team attempting to retrieve the bodies of victims from a bombed home in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.
The Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas condemned the attack, calling it a “complex war crime” and accusing Israel of deliberately obstructing rescue operations and extinguishing every means of civilian survival.
In a statement, Hamas said the killing of paramedics represented an “unprecedented level of brutality and criminality,” and called on the international community and the United Nations to intervene to stop Israeli crimes, hold Israeli leaders accountable, and restore credibility to international institutions in the face of what it described as an ongoing genocide.

Starvation as a Weapon
The government media office in Gaza reiterated that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war by shutting down border crossings and blocking humanitarian aid, particularly food.
According to the United Nations, this is contributing to conditions that could pave the way for the forced displacement of Gaza’s population.
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli forces—with US support—have waged a devastating campaign in the Gaza Strip marked by widespread killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement.
These actions continue despite international condemnation and rulings by the International Court of Justice demanding an end to hostilities.
According to Gaza’s health authorities, the Israeli campaign has left over 181,000 Palestinians dead or wounded—most of them women and children—with over 14,000 still missing. Famine has taken hold in many areas, claiming numerous lives and worsening the humanitarian catastrophe.
