In a statement from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, it was reported that 77 people lost their lives and more than 250 were injured as a result of the fire opened on the crowd waiting for food aid. The bodies of 20 of those who lost their lives were brought to Kamal Adwan Hospital, and 57 were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital. Local sources reported that the attack took place on Al-Rashid Street.

In its latest statement, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that the number of those who lost their lives has risen to 104, and the number of injured to 760.

"THOSE WAITING FOR AID WERE COLD-BLOODEDLY KILLED"

In a statement from the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the attack was described as a "cold-blooded massacre of civilians" and part of Israel's ongoing "genocidal war." The international community was called upon to "intervene urgently" to secure a ceasefire as the only way to protect civilians.

In a statement made by the Media Office of the government in Gaza, it was stated that Israel had planned the attack in advance. The statement accused the international community, especially the Biden administration, of allowing the massacre of Palestinian civilians, stating: "We hold the US administration, the international community, the Israeli occupation, and international organizations responsible for the killing of civilians. We call on all countries of the world, all Arab and Islamic countries, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to intervene urgently to pressure Israel to stop the genocide."
