The Gaza authorities say at least 27 Palestinians who were killed by Israeli fire near the Relief Center

Local officials say that at least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while trying to collect aid near a distribution site in Gaza.

Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Civil Defense Agency in Gaza, said that the civilians were launched on tanks, cuiacopter drones, and helicopters near the dream roundabout, about one kilometer (0.6 miles) from the Relief Distribution Center.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that its forces fired shots after the suspects who moved towards them were set “a deviation from the specified access methods.”

Israel said previously from shooting the Palestinians in a similar incident on Sunday, which the Hamas -running Ministry said 31 people were killed and nearly 200 people were wounded.

Health officials said that its denial was in direct contradiction with dozens of civilian witnesses, NGOs and health officials.

The director of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, Atf Al -Hot, described 24 dead and 37 wounded, to wounds on shots on Tuesday morning, saying that the Israeli forces had opened fire on “civilians pending awaiting assistance in the West Rafah.”

A BBC’s foreign doctor told the BBC that she was a “complete massacre” since 03:48 (01:48 BST) and that they were drowned in losses.

In a statement, the Israeli Defense Army said its forces “do not prevent the arrival of civilians of Ghazan to the humanitarian aid distribution sites.”

“The warning shots were launched about half a kilometer from the humanitarian distribution site towards many of the suspects who advanced towards the forces in a way that pose a threat to them,” he added.

Israel does not allow international news organizations, including the BBC, in Gaza, which makes verification of what is happening in the region is difficult.

Aid was distributed recently by the Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF), a group supported by Israel and the United States, which aims to replace the United Nations and other organizations.

The GHF regime requires civilians to move to the distribution centers located in Israeli military control areas, and the US security contractors operate.

The Palestinians are forced to walk to collect aid – then carry boxes of them up to 20 kg (44 pounds).

The former United Nations system provided direct assistance to societies – in 400 sites throughout Gaza. He also distributed aid based on the population record, ensuring that everyone is food.

It seems that the new system is working on the basis of the first coming, and it is presented first, which means that the Palestinians gather all night to secure a place at the front of the line – before a race to collect supplies when the aid site opens after hours.

GHF has been criticized by United Nations and the broader international community for “weapons” assistance and facing humanitarian principles.

In response to a Tuesday incident, the group said: “While the distribution of aid was safely distributed and without an incident on our site today, we understand that the Israeli Defense Army is investigating whether a number of civilians were wounded after the intended safe corridor and in a closed military area. This was an area that exceeded our safe location and practical areas.”

“For the third day, people were killed around the relief distribution site,” said United Nations Human Rights President Volcker Turk.

“The Palestinians’ options have been offered: they die of hunger or risk while trying to reach the little food that is provided through the mechanism of humanitarian humanitarian assistance to Israel,” he said in a statement.

During the Sunday incident, the ICRC (ICRC) said that her hospital in a sheet received a “collective flow” with the death of 21 “upon their arrival.

The IDF said that its results from an initial investigation showed that its forces did not shoot people while they were near or inside the relief center.

GHF also denied the claims of injuries and losses on its site and said it had spread by Hamas.

In response to the Sunday incident, United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said in a statement: “I feel dismay from the reports of the dead and wounded in Gaza in Gaza

“I call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and the perpetrators who will receive responsibility.”

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack across the border on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken into account.

At least 54,470 people have been killed in Gaza since then, including 4,201 since Israel resumed its attack, according to the Ministry of Health in the region.
