Israeli Fire Kills 11 Palestinians During Gaza Aid Distribution

Gaza Aid Distribution Turns Violent as Israeli Forces Open Fire Gaza Strip, Palestine – May 29, 2025 – A humanitarian aid distribution in southern Gaza turned violent today as Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians attempting to collect supplies. The incident, which occurred near the Muraj axis in Rafah, left several people injured and at least eleven dead, according to the government's media office. Al Arabiya's reporter, Muhammad Jarbu, witnessed the event and reported live from the scene. "The Israeli forces opened fire on a number of young people who were present in this area," he said. "Thousands of Palestinians are currently gathering in the south of the Nitsarim axis, waiting for aid distribution." The aid distribution, organized by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, was meant to provide assistance to those affected by the ongoing conflict. However, the chaotic scene, with large crowds desperate for aid, led to the tragic escalation. The video shows people struggling to carry heavy bags of food, and a young boy is seen crying in distress. The Israeli army stated that they fired in self-defense, but this claim is being investigated. The incident underscores the complexities of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the dangers faced by civilians caught in the crossfire. The international community is calling for an immediate end to the violence and for safe and efficient methods of delivering aid to those in need. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has suspended further distribution until security can be guaranteed.
