The death toll from "death traps" has risen to 995 ad, 6,011 injured, and 45 missing.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported on Sunday that the death toll from what have become known as "death traps"—aid distribution areas targeted by Israeli occupation forces—has risen to 995 dead, 6,011 injured, and 45 missing since May 27th.

The sources confirmed that all the victims were civilians who had attempted to access food aid, only for the distribution sites to be turned into killing fields and direct sniper fire by the occupying forces, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights principles.

In a related development, a citizen was martyred this evening after being shot by an Israeli Quadcopter drone while he was at a gas station on Al-Hakr Street, south of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the total death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 58,895 dead and 140,980 wounded. This comes amid continued intense bombardment and the prevention of rescue teams from reaching the victims, with many still trapped under the rubble and in the streets, unable to be evacuated due to the dangerous conditions on the ground.

This escalation comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, amid UN warnings of an imminent catastrophe for millions of besieged Palestinians. This comes amid continued targeting of shelters and aid distribution areas, the closure of crossings, and the prevention of the entry of relief and medical supplies.
