In a tragic incident in Gaza, at least 20 individuals lost their lives while waiting for humanitarian aid, with 155 others sustaining wounds, according to the Palestinian enclave's health ministry. The death toll is anticipated to rise as more casualties are being transferred to hospitals, revealed Dr. Mohammad Ghrab from the emergency unit at Al Shifa Hospital.

Eyewitnesses reported a harrowing scene, with dozens of people reportedly killed and several videos showing multiple bodies at the location. The health ministry attributed the incident to the targeting of a gathering of citizens waiting for humanitarian aid at the Kuwaiti roundabout in Gaza by the Israeli occupation forces.

Highlighting the dire situation, the ministry expressed concerns about the capacity of medical teams to cope with the influx of injuries in northern Gaza, citing inadequate medical and human resources. CNN has sought a comment from the Israel Defense Forces regarding the incident.

Based on eyewitness accounts, the area was struck by what sounded like tank or artillery fire. Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for Gaza Civil Defense, accused Israel of being responsible for the attack in a statement released on Thursday night.

"The Israeli occupation forces are still practicing the policy of killing innocent citizens waiting for relief aid as a result of the famine occurring in the northern Gaza Strip," Basal declared.

As this is an ongoing development, further updates will be provided as new information emerges.
