Deadly attacks in the Gaza Strip: Aid supplies distributed despite chaos!

In the Gaza Strip, the situation has spoiled again after numerous people died in the event of a new incident near a distribution point for humanitarian aid goods. According to Palestinian information, more than 28 people were killed by shots by the Israeli army, while in Khan Younis ten other people were also victims of Israeli attacks. These exhaustion of violence occurred on June 11, 2025, on the same day when the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) reported a successful distribution of relief goods.
