Gaza: Dozens Killed Near Aid Center

Amid ongoing Israeli military operations across Gaza, the Israeli army issued a new order evacuating several areas in the northern Gaza Strip. The army spokesperson, in a statement posted on X today, Tuesday, urged all residents in the areas of Al-Karama, Abdul Rahman, Al-Nahda, and Jabalya camp to leave.
This came in parallel with sirens sounding and rockets fired from the Gaza envelope, amid reports of about 40 Palestinians killed since dawn, most of them while trying to obtain food near a US distribution point in Nitzarim. Israeli aircraft also bombed homes in the areas of Ma'an, Qaysan Al-Najjar, Abasan, and Khuzaa, causing additional destruction to houses elsewhere in the sector.
Eight Palestinians from one family were killed in an airstrike on a house in Jabalya, and their bodies were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza due to the shortage of hospitals in the north. Over the past two weeks, dozens of civilians have been killed during aid distribution carried out by the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" under Israeli military supervision. Witnesses and injured individuals confirmed that the casualties were caused by army gunfire, while Israel denies investigating the incidents and states that it is reviewing the events.
The international community, including the United Nations, condemned the way aid is being distributed, warning that the method resembles a trap and a call to death. They called for a return to the previous aid distribution mechanism, which was managed through UN organizations.
