Since May 27, at least 115 Palestinians have been killed and more than 580 wounded while trying to access humanitarian aid, with nine others still missing, according to Anadolu’s tally based on Palestinian sources.
On the first day of Eid al-Adha on Friday, 33 more Palestinians were reported killed by Israeli air and artillery strikes across Gaza.
This marks the fourth consecutive Eid al-Adha spent under heavy Israeli bombardment. The war, widely condemned as genocidal, has claimed nearly 54,700 Palestinian lives and plunged the besieged territory into a deep humanitarian crisis marked by widespread hunger and displacement. []
