Report: Israeli attacks kill nine Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza

Nine Palestinians were killed and several others injured while waiting for aid near the Netzarim junction in central Gaza, according to medical sources at Al-Awda and Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospitals, as reported by Al Jazeera Arabic.

The incident is the latest in a series of deadly attacks near aid distribution sites set up late last month by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a mechanism backed by Israel and the United States. The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has previously described the initiative as a “death trap”.
