At least 57 aid seekers were killed and more than 363 injured by Israel since Wednesday morning, bringing the total number of people killed at aid distribution centres to 224, with 1,858 others injured, the ministry added.
The Israeli military has admitted its troops fired “warning shots” in the area of the Netzarim Corridor, where the majority of aid seekers were reportedly killed overnight, adding that it is “aware of reports regarding individuals injured, the details are under review”.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 55,104 Palestinians an
d wounded 127,394, according to the Health Ministry.
An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.
Meanwhile, doctors of the world has condemned a deadly Israeli drone strike on one of its offices in central Gaza – which killed at least eight people, including four children – in what the medical charity called a “serious violation of international humanitarian law”.
At 11:05am local time (08:05 GMT) yesterday, a building housing the group’s office in Deir el-Balah was struck by Israeli drones, the charity said. The office was on the top floor of the building and, according to the organisation, was clearly marked and registered with Israeli military authorities.
The attack marks the second time the group’s Gaza office has been destroyed. In February 2024, another facility was also hit by Israeli strikes, despite similar efforts to ensure its protection under international law.
Simon Tyler, Doctors of the World director, said, “It is unacceptable that humanitarian spaces are repeatedly struck with impunity by Israeli forces.
“We call on third states to move beyond condemnation and take concrete measures to uphold international humanitarian law and protect humanitarian workers and civilians in Gaza.”
