Les corps sans vie de victimes sont amenés à l’hôpital Nasser après que les soldats israéliens ont ouvert le feu sur les Palestiniens qui tentaient d’atteindre l’aide humanitaire.

Overview

  • On June 1, Israeli fire near a GHF-managed distribution center in Rafah killed at least 31 people and wounded 176, Gaza Civil Defense reported.
  • Early on June 2, troops opened fire on civilians approaching the same aid site, killing at least 15 people as forces said they discharged warning shots at alleged suspects.
  • A third round of shootings at the Al-Alam roundabout on June 3 left at least 27 dead while thousands gathered for humanitarian assistance.
  • The Israeli military denies targeting aid seekers, stating soldiers only fired warning shots at suspected threats and pledging to investigate each allegation.
  • UN agencies refuse to partner with the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation over concerns about its neutrality and chaotic operations as famine fears grow.
