Zionist military kills 41 in Gaza

GAZA: Gaza's civil defense agency reported 41 people killed in military operations in the Palestinian territory Saturday, more than half of whom it said were killed while waiting for aid. "Forty-one people were martyred due to the ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip, 23 of whom were waiting for aid," Mohammad Al-Mughayyir, an official from the agency, told AFP. The Zionist military did not respond to AFP's request for comment. Zionist restrictions on media in Gaza and the difficulties of access on the ground mean AFP is unable to independently verify the casualty tolls provided by the civil defense agency.


Central Gaza's Al-Awda hospital received eight bodies and 125 wounded after drone strikes targeted people gathering near an aid distribution centre near the Netzarim corridor, Mughayyir said. Gaza City's Al-Shifa Hospital received 11 bodies after an attack on people seeking aid on Saturday, he added, while four others were taken to the Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza and Nasser hospital in the south.


Dozens of Palestinians have been killed while trying to reach Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution points since the US- and Zionist-backed organization began operating in late May, according to the civil defense agency. An officially private effort with opaque funding, the GHF began operating on May 26 after Zionists cut off supplies into Gaza for more than two months, sparking international condemnation and warnings of imminent famine. Mughayyir said that 18 people were killed in the north and south of the territory during various attacks by the Zionist army, including seven in Gaza City.


The Gaza Strip has been ravaged by more than 20 months of war between Zionist and Palestinian militant group Hamas, with the situation continuing to deteriorate on the ground. Nasser Hospital, one of the last partly functioning health facilities, has been targeted by airstrikes in recent days, according to medical sources who spoke to AFP. AFP journalists on the ground reported that internet and fixed line communications were down in Gaza for the third consecutive day. The Palestinian Authority's telecommunications ministry said Thursday that Zionist forces targeted a fibre optic cable, triggering the outage.- AFP
