74 killed in Gaza as Israeli forces strike a cafe and fire on people seeking food

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed 11 people who were looking for food in southern Gaza, according to witnesses, hospitals and the Gaza Ministry of Health.

Nasser Hospital, from the southern city of Khan Younis, said that he had received the bodies of slaughtered people by returning from a assistance site associated with the Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Fund and supported by the United States. It was part of a fatal scheme that killed more than 500 Palestinians around the chaotic and controversial aid distribution program in the last month.

The shots took place at around 3 kilometers (1.8 thousand) from the GHF site to Khan Younis, while the Palestinians returned from the site along the only accessible route. Palestinians are often forced to travel long distances to access GHF centers in the hope of getting help.

Nasser Hospital said that an additional person was killed near a GHF center in the southern city of Rafah. Another person has been killed while waiting to receive aid near the Netzarim corridor, which separates north and south of Gaza, according to Al-Awda Hospital.

Ten other people were killed in a United Nations aid warehouse in northern Gaza, according to the ambulance and emergency service of the Ministry of Health.

Witnesses describe Israeli shots

A witness, Monzer Hisham Ismail said that the troops had attacked the crowd returning from the GHF hub to Khan Younis.

“We were targeted by artillery (Israeli),” he said.

Yousef Mahmoud Mokheimar was walking with dozens of others when he saw troops in tanks and other vehicles that run towards them. They pulled warning plans before shooting the crowd, he said.

“They shot us without discrimination,” he said, adding that he had been killed by one leg, and a man was killed while he was trying to save him.

He said he saw troops have six people, including three children. “We don’t know if they are still alive,” he said.
