Over 40 Starving Gazans Killed by Israeli Forces While Seeking Food Amid Catastrophic levels of Hunger

Over 40 starving people were killed and dozens more injured on Sunday after Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd seeking aid in northern Gaza, amid a months-long blockade that has left the enclave “on the verge of catastrophic hunger.”

Local and medical sources confirmed that 45 starving aid seekers were killed and more than 60 others injured while waiting for flour trucks to enter through the Zikim crossing.

Reports said the number is expected to rise.

Israeli forces targeted and killed the aid seekers as they were starving.
