Wounded Palestinians are brought to the Nasser-Hospital

Israeli forces have committed a new massacre targeting Palestinian aid seekers in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 32 people and wounding scores more, the Palestinian health ministry said on Sunday.
According to eyewitnesses and local officials, Israeli troops opened fire directly on civilians gathered at two US-Israeli food distribution points in Rafah and central Gaza.
At least 31 people were killed in Rafah and one in central Gaza, while over 200 were wounded, many of them critically.
The health ministry accused Israel of using the new aid mechanism as a “trap for mass killings” and a tool for “the forced displacement of Gaza’s population.”
It added that those killed in the “massacre” had single gunshot wounds to the head or chest, indicating clear intent to kill.
In Rafah, thousands were instructed to queue some 500 metres from the US distribution point at the Al-Alam roundabout, local journalist Mohammed Ghareeb told Middle East Eye.
As crowds approached the area, Israeli forces rained down bullets on them from every direction, eyewitnesses said.
“I was standing among the crowd, but when people started rushing toward the distribution point, I couldn’t move with them because there were hundreds pushing forward,” Marwa al-Naouq told MEE.
“Then a quadcopter appeared and began firing at them. After that, the Israeli army opened fire directly on the crowd, and American security forces fired tear gas canisters.
“Dozens were killed and injured as people ran in every direction, trying to escape.”
Marwan al-Hems, director of field hospitals in Gaza, described the scene as a “massacre and a slaughter”.
“The occupation targeted hungry people as if these aid distribution centres were distributing death instead,” he told MEE.
Southern Gaza hospitals were overwhelmed, with patients lining hallways and lying on floors due to a lack of beds and medical supplies, Hems said.
“We tried to save as many as we could, but we lost some due to a shortage of blood,” he added.
Hamas accused Israel of weaponising aid, saying the food distribution system had become part of a broader campaign of genocide.
The Israeli military claimed it was “unaware of injuries caused by [Israeli army] troops.”
Ambushed
In both Rafah and central Gaza, eyewitnesses described the incidents as “ambushes” carried out by Israeli forces.
In coordination with American security personnel working for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), starving civilians were instructed in the early hours to go to a designated point near the Wadi Gaza Bridge, ostensibly to receive aid.
Instead, they were met with direct gunfire, according to the Gaza-based Government Media Office.
Many remain “trapped under continuous gunfire in the vicinity of the aid centre,” the office reported.
A similar scene unfolded in Rafah, where thousands had gathered overnight to receive food.
“They told us to go to this humanitarian zone to receive food – then they killed us,” Arafat Siyam, a survivor, told MEE.
Siyam’s brother was killed. The two had arrived at the aid site at 11 PM Friday, hoping to bring back food for their starving children.
“The Americans are lying to us. Since when have they cared about humanitarian work?” he said.
“They call it a humanitarian point then kill us there.”
According to the media office, Israeli forces have killed at least 49 Palestinians and injured 305 others at GHF-run distribution centres since the operation began on 27 May 2025 .
GHF, a scandal-plagued US organisation backed by Israel, was launched to bypass the UN’s aid infrastructure in Gaza.
Senior humanitarian officials have condemned the scheme , saying Israel should stop blocking the UN-led system and allow aid to flow without obstruction.
Overall, Israeli forces have killed over 54,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, including at least 16,000 children.
Additionally, over 10,000 people are missing and presumed dead, while nearly 120,000 others have been wounded.
Who knows if it happened or not. Most news is BS as Orwell explicated in 1984.. Would be nice to see video of this massacre. Every moron owns a smartphone so where’s the video ??

Another Truman Show skit?
@Winston — “Would be nice to see a video” ?? It’s not enough to see shot-up people in stills, you want to see the bullets and bodies flying?
I’m appalled by how skinny these people are.
What threats from whom are making world leaders go along with this?

Migrant daily arrivals top 1,000 for first time this year
Story by Helen Corbett and Anahita Hossein-PourMore than 1,100 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the English Channel on Saturday, the highest number recorded on a single day so far this year.
The latest Home Office figures show that 1,194 migrants arrived in 18 boats, bringing the provisional annual total so far to 14,811.This is 42% higher than the same point last year (10,448) and 95% up from the same point in 2023 (7,610), according to the PA news agency analysis of the data.
This is apart from those coming in via the channel tunnel

Of course the Trump Administration of the United States is complicit, as is the United States complicit. While Trump is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, the complicity includes the United States. Even if the whole genocide in all its horrible aspects is by the Zionist International Conglomerate, from the single, solitary partisan, to any American government official who advocates for war on Palestine and those neighboring countries upon which Israel wages its wars.
How long before the next false flag operation by Israel to further drag America into the wars, wars begun 75 to 100 years ago? Another “USSLiberty”? Another Lavon Affair? Another World Trade Center attack, nearly successful until so much evidence showing an impossible operation as claimed by… all those who wish to divert the real perpetrators. A monster is loosed, a monster is supported and furthered by the countries which couple with the Zionist International. And the identity herein stated, is an international, by now, rooted into the West and joined in being a part of the monster. All of which is why, Israel is not an ally to America. It the opposite.
