An attack near the aid delivery point killed more than 30 people, says Gaza’s health officials while the truce talks stumbled

More than 30 people were killed and injured on Sunday after an attack near the Food Aid Distribution Center in Gaza StripAccording to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Hamas and multiple witnesses. The Israeli army denied the allegations that its soldiers were involved.

Witnesses told Associated Press that people were on their way to receive food when they were separated about 1000 yards from the relief site in his Rafah run by an institution backed by Israel.

Omar Abu Tiba, who was in the crowd, said: “There was a fire from all directions, from marine warships, from tanks and drones.”

He said he saw at least 10 bodies with fiery wounds and many other wounded, including women. People used vehicles to transport the dead and wounded to the field hospital. “The scene was terrible,” he said.

The Israeli army said in a statement that its forces had not shot civilians near or inside the site, noting an initial investigation.

The Gaza Ministry of Health in Hamas said 31 people were killed and 170 others were wounded.

US and Israeli supported Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF) He said in a statement that she had handed over 16 truck loads of aid “without an accident” early on Sunday and rejected what he refused in the name of “wrong reports on deaths, mass injuries and chaos” about its sites, which are located in the Israeli military areas where independent arrival is limited.

Before Sunday, and GHF distribution for aid has been seen by chaosAP reported that many witnesses said that the Israeli forces fired crowds near the delivery sites.

The Foundation says that private security contractors guarding their positions were not called the crowd, while the Israeli army admitted the warning clips on previous occasions.

Israel and the United States say that the new regime aims to prevent Hamas from getting rid of help. Israel has not provided any evidence of systematic conversion, and the United Nations denies this.

United Nations agencies and major relief groups refused to work with the new system, saying that it violates humanitarian principles because it allows Israel to control those who receive aid and force people to move to distribution sites, and risk more collective displacement in the region.

The United Nations regime to provide assistance struggled after Israel reduced the total blockade in the region last month. These groups say that Israeli restrictions, the collapse of law and order, and looting on a large scale makes it very difficult to provide assistance to about two million Palestinians in Gaza.

Experts have warned that the region is at risk of starvation if more aid is not provided.

Conflict talks

The Sunday incident occurred, as Israel and Hamas were circulated in the stalled mediation attempt to secure the temporary ceasefire and the release of the Israeli hostages held in Gaza, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Hamas said on Saturday that she was seeking Amendments to the US -backed ceasefire proposalBut President Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East refused the group’s response as “completely unacceptable.”

“The enthusiasm of the framework we presented as a basis for proximity talks, which we can start immediately next week,” said in a statement.

Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political office, said in a statement that Hamas had not rejected the Witkoff proposal.

“However, we have now responded positively and responsibly in a way that died minimal demands and the aspirations of our people,” Naim said in a statement. “Why, every time, the Israeli response is the only response to negotiation? This violates the safety and integrity of mediation and constitutes a full bias towards the other side.”

The Israeli government agreed to The proposal set by the United States

The war began when the terrorists led by Hamas, southern Israel, stormed on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and kidnapped 251. They still carry 58 hostages, about a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals.

The military campaign of Israel has killed more than 54,000 people, most of them women and children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not specify the number of civilians or fighters. The attack destroyed vast areas of the region, explained about 90 % of its population and let people depend completely on international aid.
