Israeli forces kill over 30 at US-backed aid sites in Gaza- British doctor calls it “absolute carnage”
(Al-Jazeera) Israeli tanks and drones open fire on Palestinians gathered at aid distribution sites run by a US-backed group in Gaza, killing more than 30 people in Rafah alone.
Attacks have intensified in Gaza City for the second day in a row. The Israeli military has been targeting residential buildings. We’re talking about five-storey buildings and above.

It’s more than just a crisis right now. It’s the dismantling of civilian life. Many of these buildings were not just residential. They were businesses, offices, student centres. And now they are just rubble.
Close to 70 buildings have been destroyed, and the bombings, drone strikes and artillery shelling does not stop. Residents are only given a short window of time to gather their belongings and whatever food supplies they have.
It is widely believed the Israeli military is pursuing this strategy to push people further into displacement. This time, it’s not only inside Gaza City but as part of Israel’s plan to transfer the population into the southern part of the Strip.
The fact that we’re seeing this number of buildings completely flattened in the past 48 hours is an indication this strategy is already being implemented.
Meanwhile, a British doctor working at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza has described the scene as “absolute carnage” as dozens of victims have been brought in after Israeli forces opened fire on people at a nearby food distribution site.
“I’m in the emergency department at the Nasser complex. We’ve had a shooting at the GHF aid distribution centre near Rafah,” she said in a video with patients and chaos in the background.
“People come through the door. At the moment, the locals are quoting anything from 100 to 200 injured people. These are all gunshot wounds, and as you can see behind me, all the bays are full. It’s absolute carnage here, and there are even more people in the main emergency department.”
More than 30 Palestinians seeking food aid from a GHF distribution site in Rafah were killed when Israeli tanks and drones reportedly opened fire.
