The United Nations Human Rights Office has said as many as 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while they sought aid in Gaza since the controversial GHF began distributing aid on May 27, 2025.
There were 44 people killed by the Israeli Army attacks across the Gaza Strip on Friday, said the Gaza Health Ministry.
In a separate attack, the Israeli army targeted schools in the war-torn Gaza, leaving no scope for civilians to hide or escape.
One of the victims’ mother said she saw bodies strewn everywhere around her. “There were bodies on the ground, people torn apart, and we didn’t know who had been hit. We ran, searching desperately for our children.”

“This is the sixth time the school has been struck. In the earlier strikes, my daughters were among those killed,” she said.
The Israeli army is intensifying operations across the Gaza Strip, destroying homes and critical infrastructure and leaving thousands of residents trapped with no safe place to escape to.
The controversial aid programme has been condemned by the United Nations, which refused to be part of what it said is a “slaughterhouse under the guise of an aid program”.
Israel has been acting with one hundred per cent impunity in Gaza without accountability, despite mounting international pressure.
Meanwhile, the lead negotiator, along with 31 Arab countries representing the Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), has condemned the statements coming in from the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who dreams of creating “Greater Israel” by occupying more Arab land.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry, in a post on X, said Netanyahu’s comments “represent a gross disregard and a blatant and dangerous violation of the rules of international law and the foundations of stable international relations”.
Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza has killed as many as 61,827 people and injured over 155,275 since October, 2023.
