On July 20, 2025, Israeli military killed at least 67 Gaza civilians seeking aid, according to medical sources and witnesses. Men, women, and children were shot near food distribution points, medics reported. Consequently, this tragedy highlights the escalating Gaza humanitarian crisis, where aid shortages and violence continue to devastate communities.
Hunger Crisis Intensifies
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened due to severe aid shortages and widespread displacement. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and medical supplies are critically low. Medics warn that hunger is intensifying as civilians desperately search for food. The United Nations reports that nearly 500,000 residents face catastrophic food insecurity, underscoring the severity of the Gaza crisis.
Scale of the Tragedy
Since late May, nearly 800 people have died at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distributions or along aid routes. Specifically, 615 fatalities occurred near distribution hubs, and 183 along aid corridors. The UN has criticized the militarized setup of aid delivery, while GHF denies wrongdoing, attributing casualties to military fire. This cycle of violence deepens the Gaza humanitarian crisis, leaving civilians increasingly vulnerable.

Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis received dozens of victims, many with gunshot wounds to the head and chest. Medical staff described the situation as tragic, emphasizing severe shortages of supplies. As a result, the hospital struggles to treat patients, further illustrating the devastating impact of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
