Amid escalating violence and a deepening humanitarian crisis, urgent calls are mounting for secure humanitarian corridors to deliver vital food and relief aid to the Gaza Strip. The worsening situation, marked by repeated attacks on civilians waiting for assistance, has left hundreds of thousands of people trapped in life-threatening conditions.

The delivery of aid is severely hindered by ongoing bombardments and widespread insecurity, with aid convoys facing deadly risks. Recent attacks near aid distribution points have resulted in tragic loss of life, including at least 25 Palestinians killed while waiting for humanitarian aid near the Netzarim corridor south of Gaza City. Eyewitness reports confirmed that Israeli forces opened fire directly on crowds, causing numerous fatalities and injuries, including critical cases.

These incidents underscore a pattern of violence against civilians at points designated for aid, further complicating efforts to provide life-saving supplies amid the siege. Local authorities have condemned the attacks and hold the Israeli occupation fully responsible for these deadly actions. Allegations have also been made accusing certain organisations operating under the guise of humanitarian work of facilitating deadly ambushes, deepening distrust around aid delivery mechanisms.

Voices from Gaza are demanding the immediate halt of such practices and the urgent opening of all border crossings under transparent and internationally recognised arrangements. They call for the establishment of an independent international investigative committee to examine the killings at these so-called “death points.”

As shortages of food, clean water, and medicine worsen under relentless aggression, the silence and inaction of the international community stand out starkly against the mounting suffering. Without immediate and effective intervention, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza will only deepen, with devastating consequences for millions trapped in this cycle of violence and deprivation.
