At least 94 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire across the Gaza Strip since dawn Tuesday, including 60 people who were reportedly waiting to receive aid, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.

The attacks targeted multiple areas in the besieged enclave. A woman was killed following an artillery strike on a home in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood of southern Gaza City.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces demolished several residential buildings east of Jabalia in northern Gaza and continued launching airstrikes on the area.

In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Strip, Israeli warplanes bombed a residential home in the city center and shelled the vicinity of al-Katiba area and Street 5.

Hamas slams aid distribution as 'death traps'

Hamas condemned the rising toll of civilian deaths, blaming what it described as the “Israeli-American aid distribution mechanism.”

According to the movement, the flawed process has resulted in 516 martyrs, 3,799 injuries, and 39 missing persons since its implementation.

In a statement, Hamas described the aid distribution points as “deliberate death traps,” accusing the occupation of using food delivery to enforce starvation and humiliation as part of what it termed a campaign of genocide.

“The crime continues under international cover and disgraceful silence, in blatant violation of humanitarian laws and norms,” the statement read.

Calls for UN intervention, accountability

Hamas called for immediate international and United Nations intervention to halt the massacres and to establish a secure, UN-supervised mechanism for humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza.

The movement also urged the international community to activate mechanisms of accountability, prosecute those responsible for war crimes, and impose an immediate and comprehensive halt to the genocidal war targeting more than two million besieged Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
