June 15, 2025, Gaza At least 12 Palestinians were killed in Israeli gunfire and airstrikes across Gaza on Sunday, including five near two aid centers run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Details of the incidents According to officials at Al-Awda Hospital, three people were killed and dozens were injured as they headed to a GHF aid center near the Netzarim Corridor. Two people were killed while heading to another aid center in Rafah. Seven others were killed in an airstrike in Beit Lahia. There was no immediate statement from the Israeli military. Criticism of the aid system The GHF began distributing food in Gaza in late May, when Israel partially lifted a nearly three-month-long blockade. However, dozens of Palestinians have been killed in daily gunfire near aid centers. The United Nations has described the new system as inadequate, dangerous, and a violation of humanitarian aid neutrality principles. The result: The attacks on aid centers have deepened Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. Urgent intervention is needed from the international community.
