16 Palestinians killed in new massacre targeting aid seekers in Rafah

GAZA,(Palestine Foundation Information Center) Sixteen Palestinian civilians were killed and dozens injured on Monday evening in a new Israeli massacre targeting aid seekers north of Rafah city in southern Gaza.

According to consistent local and medical sources, the Israeli occupation army opened fire directly on civilians gathered in anticipation of humanitarian aid, resulting in nine martyrs. Dozens of others were also left injured.

The Israeli occupation continues its crimes against Palestinian aid seekers in Gaza, with hundreds already killed since the launch of the Israeli-American mechanism overseen by the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” on May 27, 2025.

International and human rights organizations have called for urgent pressure on Israel to open the crossings, lift the blockade, and allow humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip.
