A new massacre: More than 20 dead among those waiting for aid in the southern Gaza Strip.

More than 20 civilians waiting for aid in the Tahlia area east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip were killed this Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, seven civilians, including a mother and her three children, were killed as a result of the ongoing Israeli occupation forces' bombardment of various areas in the Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported that five people, including a mother and her three children, were killed when the occupation forces bombed a tent housing displaced people in the Shafa'i camp in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis.

She added that a female citizen was killed as a result of the occupation's bombing of the vicinity of the Faisal Tower in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip at dawn. A citizen was also killed and others were injured as a result of the occupation's aircraft bombing people waiting for aid on Salah al-Din Street in the central Gaza Strip.

The Gaza Strip has been suffering a catastrophic humanitarian crisis since the occupation closed all crossings on March 2, preventing the entry of food, medicine, aid, and fuel, while the occupation forces escalate their genocide against our people in the Strip.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.

The genocide left approximately 184,000 dead and wounded, most of them women and children, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and famine claimed the lives of many, including children, as well as widespread destruction.
