Deir Al-Bala, Gaza Strip- A hospital and Shahdah said that the Israeli forces shot four of the Palestinian aid looking to travel on Sunday through a military area south of Gaza City, which is used regularly to reach the food distribution point.
Gaza City is in a famine after 22 months of war, while the Israeli military is advancing with a planned attack to seize the city, perhaps within days. The Israeli Minister of Defense warned that the city of hundreds of thousands of people can be destroyed.
Al -Auda Hospital and two witnesses of Associated Press were told that the Palestinians were killed when the forces opened fire on a crowd heading to a location run by the American -backed Israeli Israeli contractor in the Netzarim Pass area, hundreds of meters (yard) from the site.
“The shooting was heterogeneous,” said Mohamed Abed, a father of two children from the Burij refugee camp.
Abed and Emid Siad, the other researcher for relief, said that the forces opened fire when they pushed a group near the front of the crowd towards the site before its scheduled opening. Siad said that and others helped two people wounded with gunshots.
“This incident did not happen near our site, not as shown,” GHF said in an email. The Israeli army did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
Eight deaths related to malnutrition
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reached eight other deaths related to malnutrition on Sunday, including a child. This brings the total number of malware during the war to 289, with 115 of their children.
At least 62,686 Palestinians were killed in the war, according to the ministry, including the missing persons who were dead by a special judicial committee of the ministry.
Among them, more than 2000 Palestinians and more than 13,500 wounded were killed while seeking assistance in distribution points or along the caravan methods used by the United Nations and other relief groups, according to the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Health does not specify the number of deaths of fighters or civilians, but it says that about half of them were women and children. The ministry is part of the government run by Hamas and employed by medical professionals. The United Nations and independent experts consider it the most reliable source of war losses. Israel exceeds its numbers, but it did not provide it.

The leading authority in the world in food crises, which is the classification of integrated food security stage, said on Friday that the famine occurs in Gaza City and could spread south to Deira Pala and Khan Yunis by the end of next month.
Relief groups have long warned that the war and months of Israeli restrictions on the food and medical supplies entering Gaza cause hunger. Israel denied the existence of widespread hunger, and called on reports on the “lies” that Hamas promotes.
“The explosions without stopping” near Gaza City
In Gabalia, directly populated refugee camp, north of Gaza City, the residents said they had endured heavy explosions overnight. Days after the Israeli army announced that it was intensifying its operations in the region and mobilizing tens of thousands of reserve experts to take the city, they said they lived in constant fear.
One of the displaced Palestinians there, decorations, said that the neighborhoods were largely demolished.
“They want this like a Rafah,” he said, referring to the southern Gaza City, which was earlier in the war. “There have been explosions and non -stop strikes in the past days.”
As he fled from Gabalia, the teacher Salim Dahr said that he saw robots sowing explosives with the advances of the forces. Dahr said he was afraid to be part of a greater effort to remove the Palestinians by force from the north.
He said that the goal is clear: “To destroy everything above the ground and force the transfer.”
There was no minimal sign of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were sitting south before Israel invaded Gaza City, which Israel says is still the stronghold of Hamas. Many are exhausted through repeated and unconvincing displacement operations that any region – including the so -called human areas – provides safety.
The war began when the militants, led by Hamas, kidnapped 251 people and killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, on October 7, 2023. Most of the hostages were fired in a ceasefire or other deals but 50 still in Gaza, with about 20 believed to be alive.
The hostages of hostages are afraid of the new attack to endanger them, and many Israelis are increasingly loud about the need for an agreement to stop the fighting and bring everyone home. A new summons from reserve soldiers added to anxiety.
But it seems that the efforts towards the ceasefire are waiting for the next step for Israel, after Hamas said it had accepted a new proposal from the Arab mediators.
Hamas said in a statement on Sunday: “We have agreed on a partial agreement, while we also expressed his willingness to a comprehensive rise, however, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (Netanyahu) rejects all solutions,” Hamas said in a statement on Sunday.
