Israel kills at least 29 Palestinians in Gaza, including 13 aid seekers
At least 29 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since Monday morning, including 13 people who were reportedly waiting to receive humanitarian aid, according to Palestinian medical officials.
Staff at Nasser Medical Complex in Rafah said Israeli strikes killed 10 people and wounded more than 15 others near aid centres in the northern part of the city.
In central Gaza, an Israeli airstrike hit a home in Deir al-Balah, killing one person and injuring several others, according to medical workers at Al-Aqsa Hospital, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Mourners in Gaza City held funerals for several Palestinians who died while waiting for aid trucks in the northernmost part of the Strip.
Medical staff at Al-Shifa Hospital said an Israeli strike on homes in Jabalia killed two people. They reported that ongoing shelling in the area prevented rescue teams from retrieving the bodies.
Doctors at Al-Awda Hospital said Israeli gunfire killed two more Palestinians and wounded others as they waited for food aid near the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza.
Local sources reported casualties from Israeli tank shelling near aid centres in both central and southern Gaza.
Gaza's Government Media Office stated that Israeli attacks had killed at least 450 people, injured 3,000, and left 39 missing since the Israel-US-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution centres opened on 27 May.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces have killed 55,998 people in Gaza—most of them women and children—since 7 October 2023, when the military campaign began.
In the past 24 hours alone, the ministry reported 39 deaths and 317 injuries.

UN accuses Israeli occupation of depriving civilians of water sccess
Israel continues its genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip- the photo published by Palestinian journalists in Gaza on their Telegram channel on May 17, 2025- CAIRO - 23 June 2025: The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deepen, with children dying from hunger and thirst amid a total blockade. The United Nations has confirmed that the Israeli occupation is deliberately depriving Gaza residents of water and essential aid, leading to the collapse of life-sustaining systems. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that Gaza is experiencing a man-made drought as its water infrastructure—especially drinking water facilities—collapses under the strain of the ongoing blockade. UNICEF emphasized that children will die of thirst unless fuel deliveries, necessary to operate water systems, are immediately resumed. UNICEF spokesperson James Elder revealed that no fuel has entered Gaza for over 100 days, due to Israel's severe restrictions on the limited humanitarian aid allowed into the strip. As a result, only 40% of Gaza's drinking water facilities are still functioning. Elder warned that without fuel, all water production facilities would shut down within weeks. He further explained that diseases are already spreading rapidly, and chaos is escalating. Since Gaza's power supply was cut, fuel has been essential to sustain the crippled healthcare system, powering generators used for oxygen production, life-support machines, neonatal incubators, and ambulance operations. Elder stated: 'Blocking fuel doesn't just halt supplies—it destroys the means for survival.' He stressed that the water crisis and rising malnutrition among children are man-made emergencies, directly resulting from the Israeli occupation's policies. These twin crises, he noted, are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. 'This is an extremely tragic situation—a near-total siege. Humanitarian aid is marginalized. The daily killing of girls and boys in Gaza goes unnoticed. And now, a deliberate fuel crisis is cutting off the most essential element for survival—water.' The spokesperson also described the actions of what he called the "Gaza Humanitarian Structure" as exacerbating the suffering. He said people are forced to remain confined in tiny pockets of land, where most civilians cannot even access aid distribution points officially designated as "conflict zones." He reported multiple incidents of mass casualties near these sites when they were shut down. Meanwhile, Edward Beigbeder, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, reported that from January through May 2025, a total of 16,736 children—an average of 112 children per day—were admitted for treatment of acute malnutrition in Gaza. 'Every single one of these cases could have been prevented,' he said. 'Children are being denied food, water, and critical therapeutic care. These are man-made decisions, and they are costing lives.' The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with dire warnings from global health and humanitarian organizations demanding immediate international action to restore fuel deliveries, enable humanitarian access, and save civilian lives.
