A truck carrying humanitarian aid overturned onto a crowd of people in central Gaza, resulting in at least 20 Palestinians killed and numerous injuries. This incident occurred amidst dire humanitarian conditions as large gatherings of civilians sought food and basic supplies. Local officials attributed the risky routing to Israeli forces directing the vehicle down an unsafe road. Humanitarian organizations continue to warn of rising starvation and malnutrition-related deaths, with aid being insufficient for the growing needs of the population.
Local officials in central Gaza reported that at least 20 Palestinians were killed and many injured when a truck carrying humanitarian aid overturned during a desperate search for supplies. The incident occurred as large crowds gathered due to a dire humanitarian crisis. According to the Gaza Government Media Office, Israeli forces directed the vehicle onto an unsafe road. Despite a limited number of aid trucks, obstruction of safe passage has severely impacted distribution, leading to fatalities from malnutrition and starvation.
Gaza Civil Defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal confirmed the death toll of 20, with additional wounded as hundreds of civilians waited for crucial aid. The Gaza Government Media Office alleged that drivers are forced to navigate overcrowded routes, contributing to desperate situations where crowds seize aid forcibly. The event exemplifies the ongoing humanitarian crisis, worsening as starvation and disease threaten the population.
