Middle East: For twenty months, the Gaza Strip has endured one of the darkest chapters in its modern history, as the Zionist genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign continues with suffocating siege and relentless bombardment. Daily life has become a recurring tragedy, growing more horrific with every bullet, every airstrike, and every forced evacuation order.

In recent days, Gaza has witnessed horrific massacres around so-called "aid distribution centers," run by the Israeli enemy entity and the U.S. under a "joint mechanism." These centers have proven to be nothing but a cover for systematic genocide.

Trapped in these "death traps," they were cold-bloodedly targeted by occupation snipers—shot in the head and chest, according to documentation by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor. The group confirmed at least 27 civilian martyrs since dawn today, with dozens wounded, in a direct attack on starving civilians.

The Monitor stated: "The occupation deliberately sets up distribution centers in dangerous areas, only to later open fire on those who approach." It documented over 600 Palestinian martyrs in just one week near aid centers, amid international silence tantamount to complicity.

It noted that occupation snipers deliberately targeted starving civilians with direct gunfire—mostly headshots—despite posing no threat to troops. The occupation typically "denies its forces committed these crimes or justifies them by claiming to target 'suspects,' without providing evidence."

Amnesty International, for its part, called for the rejection of the aid distribution plan, which has become a weapon for killing and displacement, describing the shooting of starving people as a war crime requiring immediate and independent investigation.

The organization stated in a release today: "Using aid as a death trap is a crime against humanity… and those responsible must be held accountable."

In a shocking statement, Gaza’s emergency and ambulance teams reported recovering 23 martyrs’ bodies and evacuating over 200 wounded in just 24 hours—all victims of direct targeting at aid centers in Rafah.

Rescue teams confirmed that occupation forces blocked ambulances from reaching victims, leaving many to bleed to death in the streets.

According to the latest figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry, the death toll has risen to 54,510 martyrs since October 7, 2023, with 124,901 wounded, including thousands in critical condition.

Per Gaza’s Government Media Office, at least 102 martyrs and 490 wounded have fallen in just eight days near aid centers—now popularly known as "death traps."

In Khan Younis, where the Nasser Medical Complex—the only specialized hospital in southern Gaza—is located, occupation authorities issued evacuation orders for all surrounding areas, effectively cutting off access for the wounded and sick.

The complex’s director described the situation as "catastrophic," confirming that "500 patients, including 40 in intensive care, face a death sentence if hospital services collapse."

In a further escalation, the enemy committed a new massacre by bombing the "Al-Najar family compound," which shelters displaced people near the hospital—worsening the already dire humanitarian and medical crisis in the besieged city.

The Prisoners’ Media Office documented brutal and degrading conditions in occupation prisons, particularly "Ofer Prison," with escalating torture and medical neglect—extending the genocide to every Palestinian.

What is happening in Gaza is not merely a war, but a systematic effort to strip people of their dignity—displacing them through bombardment at times, starvation at others. Even aid—the most basic human right—has been weaponized, meticulously designed to kill the starving as they reach out for survival.
