Israeli soldier’s army kills 54 Palestinians since dawn, including 35 at food aid sites

Israeli forces killed at least 54 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip Sunday, according to medical sources — with dozens of victims gunned down while queuing for food.

Among the dead were 35 people shot near two Israeli-approved aid distribution points, where desperate civilians had gathered in hopes of receiving food. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos and panic as Israeli fire hit the crowds.

Since Israel ended a ceasefire with Hamas on 18 March, its military campaign has killed 4,149 Palestinians and wounded at least 12,149 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The spike in casualties comes as hunger tightens its grip on the besieged enclave, with humanitarian agencies warning that access to basic aid remains blocked or severely restricted.
