Gaza's civil defence agency said at least 31 people were killed and many more wounded, which it blamed on "Israeli gunfire" targeting civilians in Rafah.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said its hospital in Rafah received "a mass casualty influx" of people early in the morning on Sunday. It said 21 people were "declared dead upon arrival". It is unclear if the number of people killed reported by the ICRC is separate to the Gaza authorities' report.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its findings from an initial inquiry showed its forces had not fired at people while they were near or within the aid centre. The Israeli military said in a statement that "warning shots were fired toward several suspects who advanced toward" troops approximately 1km from the site.

Yes, they said civilians advanced towards their line, but they were 1 kilometer away. They weren't remotely in any danger but just spraying people for fun I guess. Makes me feel sick typing it.

The IDF is likely spraying bullets into the crowd from a long distance. Akin to this video (not nsfw) https://i.imgur.com/jkkPV5T.mp4

There is nothing wrong with his statement. The GHF CEO backs the "Trump Gaza" plan and lies and covers for Israel.

America is directly committing the genocide now.

Oh that's okay then. Kill them far away cause that makes a difference.

This is what happens when American mercenaries hired by an army that is committing genocide pose as humanitarians.

Edit: to the downvoters, as the Palestinian boy who saw his mother shot dead while she waited for aid: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a firing squad.
