Israeli troops opened fire on Gazans seeking food aid in the territory, killing at least 32 people, the Palestinian health ministry and witnesses said.

The Israeli military claims it fired warning shots at suspects who approached its troops after they did not heed calls to stop.

Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Saturday (July 19, 2025) that Israeli fire killed 39 people and wounded more than 100 near two aid centres, in the latest deaths of Palestinians seeking food.
