Gaza, MINA – At least 100 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, including nearly 27 people who were waiting for humanitarian aid, according to local medical sources, Anadolu Agency reported.
The airstrikes, launched by Israeli forces, struck multiple areas in northern, central, and southern Gaza, targeting residential buildings, tents housing displaced families, and aid distribution points.
Among the dead were women, children, and entire families. A strike on Jamal Abdel Nasser Street killed a mother and her three children, while four women were killed in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood. In the Sheikh Radwan area, three members of the same family lost their lives after their apartment was bombed.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli troops opened fire directly on civilians gathered near the Al-Shakoush aid distribution point in northern Rafah. At least 27 were killed and 180 injured in the attack, which occurred while people were waiting for food and basic supplies amid severe famine and humanitarian collapse.
