Gaza Herald— Since dawn, Israeli attacks have killed 67 aid seekers, medical sources told our reporters on the ground.
One of those attacks took place at Zikim crossing in northern Gaza. Moath al-Kahlout, our colleague on the ground, reported seeing at least 30 people – killed or wounded – from that attack brought to al-Shifa Hospital.
“Out of all those who went to the Zikim area seeking aid, only one person returned with a bag of flour. Approximately 30 others were brought back on animal-drawn carts, either dead or severely wounded.
“The scene is devastating.”
29 of the aid seekers who were killed during the massacre were identified as:

New Evacuation Orders
Israeli forces also issued their latest forced displacement order in seven blocks, including those within tents in Deir el-Balah.
The army dropped vast amounts of leaflets over residential areas in Deir el-Balah, demanding that Palestinians leave due to an imminent attack.
While the army routinely orders Palestinians to forcibly relocate, the areas it claims are ‘safe-zones’ are also under attack, rendering no area in the enclave safe from Israeli fire.
Israeli attacks on aid seekers have become a common occurrence at aid distribution sites run by the GHF. Yesterday, at least 38 out of the 116 people it killed were aid seekers.
More than 900 Palestinians have been killed at aid sites since late May when the GHF was established.
The UN and humanitarian aid agencies have long denounced the GHF for its “weaponization” of aid in Gaza and called on Israel to allow for the entry of humanitarian assistance that has been blocked at the border.
