Death toll from Israeli attacks on aid seekers in Rafah rises to 30

The death toll from Israeli attacks on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in the Al-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza City, has risen to 30, with at least 60 others wounded, according to medics.

Israeli forces opened fire on starving Palestinian civilians gathered in the area waiting to receive food aid.

The total number of Palestinians killed while attempting to access humanitarian aid reached 891 on Saturday, with more than 5,754 wounded.

Palestinian health officials said hundreds of people could soon die as hospitals were inundated with patients suffering from dizziness and exhaustion due to the scarcity of food. 

"We warn that hundreds of people whose bodies have wasted away are at risk of imminent death due to hunger," the health ministry said.
