Nine killed while waiting for aid in Gaza, four bodies recovered

At least nine Palestinians have been killed while waiting for humanitarian aid across the Gaza Strip, according to a source at Al-Shifa Hospital, speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic.

Four bodies were also recovered near the Netzarim axis, south of Gaza City, an area heavily targeted by Israeli forces in recent weeks.

The killings come as Palestinians continue to risk their lives queuing for food and basic supplies amid Israel’s ongoing blockade and attacks on aid distribution points.

Rights groups have condemned repeated strikes on crowds waiting for humanitarian assistance, accusing Israel of systematically denying aid and using starvation as a weapon of war.
