2 Killed and 60 Wounded as Israeli Forces Target Aid Seekers in Gaza

Israeli forces launched an attack on a group of Palestinian civilians gathered at the Kuwait Roundabout in central Gaza City to receive humanitarian aid on Thursday, resulting in two fatalities and 60 injuries, according to Sky News.

The Israeli military has been conducting a comprehensive offensive on the Gaza Strip by land, sea, and air since October 7, leaving a provisional toll of over 31,000 casualties, predominantly children and women, and more than 72,000 wounded. Many victims remain trapped under debris or out in the open, as Israeli restrictions hinder emergency and civil defense teams from reaching them.

Amid the ongoing conflict and concurrent Israeli restrictions, residents of Gaza, especially in Gaza City and the northern region, are facing severe famine due to acute shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel. Approximately two million Palestinians from the besieged enclave, which Israel has blockaded for 17 years, have been displaced.

This latest incident underscores the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and the urgent need for international intervention to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians caught in the crossfire.
