A distribution center of the UNRWA aid agency in the city of Rafah was reportedly attacked by Israeli soldiers – the Hamas-controlled health authority in the Gaza Strip reported that five people were killed. At least one employee of the organization must be included.
In the warehouse, food and relief supplies were distributed to the needy population. One worker was killed and 22 others were injured.
“Today’s attack on one of the few remaining distribution centers comes as food supplies are running low, hunger is widespread and has become a famine in some areas,” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said, shocked by the incident.
Lazzarini said the coordinates of facilities in the Gaza Strip would be communicated daily to both warring sides. Israel received the details of the attacked center on Tuesday. He appealed for the protection of United Nations personnel and facilities in the conflict and called for investigations into violations.
The Palestinian Relief Organization and its boss published a statement on Platform X after the incident:
An Israeli military spokesman said they were reviewing the reports. According to the Hamas health authority, more than 31,000 people have been killed and more than 73,000 others injured in the Gaza Strip in the past five months. Two-thirds of them are believed to be women and minors, but this information cannot be independently verified.

Israel wants to flood Gaza with humanitarian aid
Israel also announced more humanitarian aid. We are trying to flood the area with humanitarian aid,” military spokesman Daniel Hagari told foreign journalists. Six Food and Agriculture Organization aid convoys reached the north of the area through the security fence known as the 96th Gate.
Hagari promised that more of these convoys would follow. These would be supplemented by air drops and relief deliveries by sea. However, the delivery of relief supplies is only part of the problem; distributing it fairly and efficiently to those in need is also difficult.
