Bloody missions: Israeli military fires on Palestinians in need of help

In the early morning hour of June 2, 2025, tragic incidents occurred in Gaza when Israeli armed forces opened on Palestinians who were looking for humanitarian aid. According to reports, at least three people were killed and over 30 injured. These shootings took place at a distribution location for relief supplies supported by Israel in southern Gazas, where similar incidents were already documented the day before. Eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli military shot civilians without warning while trying to maintain food. A field hospital of the Red Cross took care of around 50 wounded; Two of the patients died on arrival .

The shootout started around 5:30 a.m. near the flag district. UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres called for an independent examination of the incidents and found that it was unacceptable that Palestinians have to risk their lives for food. The Israeli military leadership rejected the allegations and explained that the shots were warnings to people who were perceived as a threat. The Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF), which runs the auxiliary point, also contains that the shooting has occurred, although the neutrality of the organization is questioned .

humanitarian crisis and the blockade

Despite a partial relaxation of the blockade, which had restricted food, water, fuel and medication in Gaza for more than two months, humanitarian aid remains extremely limited. The United Nations warned that thousands of children could die from hunger -related causes. The situation in Gaza has further intensified, especially after the decision of Israel, humanitarian and commercial deliveries to stop on April 2, which made the supply situation even more catastrophic .

Analyzes indicate that the measures of the Israeli government may aim to permanently drive away the population of Gaza, which some are referred to by some as ethnic cleansing. The plans include the disamility of the existing auxiliary system and the establishment of a new distribution system that would run through military -controlled nodes. These changes would significantly impair the independent work of UN organizations and NGOs and insulate many people in need .

The UN has emphasized that every support must be based on the principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality. The UN Humanitarian Country Team explained that Israelis violates fundamental humanitarian principles and further tighten the emergency of the civilian population .

increase in violence

The Unicef ​​reported that basic supply points, such as treatment centers for malnourished children, had to close due to fighting and evacuation commands. The unsustainable situation means that babies can only be supplied with food to a limited extent, while children are starving in many parts of economic life. Over 2.1 million people in Gaza have no safe refuge and fight for survival. They repeatedly call up to protect the civilian population and enable urgently needed help .

The international community is required to put pressure on Israel to open the border crossings immediately and enable humanitarian support to Gaza. UN authorities warn that the inventory of vital goods continue to decrease and many important resources could dry up within the next two months .
