t least 41 Palestinians, including six aid workers, were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Wednesday, according to medical sources.

The ongoing bombardment has targeted displaced persons’ shelters, residential homes, and civilians waiting for humanitarian aid, deepening what international observers are now calling a deliberately engineered catastrophe.

In one of the deadliest incidents, Israeli warplanes struck tents sheltering displaced families in the Shawa station area of the Sheja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Al-Aqsa TV reported multiple casualties in the attack. Separately, an Israeli airstrike on Mansoura Street in the same neighborhood killed three Palestinians, according to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital sources.

According to Gaza government sources, the number of Palestinians killed while trying to access aid has now surpassed 500 in just one month. On Tuesday, local media announced that the death toll from incidents at so-called “US-Israeli aid distribution centers” had reached 516 killed and 3,799 wounded since May 27, when the controversial distribution system began operation.

The aid distribution mechanism, coordinated by the United States and Israel under the framework of the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” has drawn sharp international criticism.

The United Nations and humanitarian agencies have distanced themselves from the initiative, citing a lack of oversight and grave risks to civilians.

The Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas issued a statement condemning the Israeli-US mechanism as part of a “systematic policy of genocide.” It described the aid drop points as “calculated death traps used to manage starvation and humiliation” and called for the immediate intervention of the international community to establish a safe, UN-monitored distribution system.
