GAZA: Israeli forces killed at least 110 Palestinians across Gaza on Saturday, including 34 waiting for food rations at the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site in southern Rafah, medical sources report.

Witnesses in Rafah said Israeli forces fired directly on Palestinians at the al-Shakoush area near a GHF aid center, described by the UN and rights groups as “human slaughterhouses” and “death traps.” Survivors recounted chaotic scenes with victims killed by sniper fire while waiting for aid.

Since late May, over 800 Palestinians have been killed and 5,000 wounded at GHF sites. Gaza hospitals face shortages amid overwhelming casualties. Additional Israeli strikes on Gaza City, Jabalia, Shati refugee camp, and Beit Hanoon killed dozens more.

The Gaza government reports 67 children have died from malnutrition, with 650,000 under-five children at risk of acute malnutrition. Israeli restrictions on food and medical supplies continue despite famine warnings.

Negotiations in Qatar between Hamas and Israel have stalled. Hamas rejects Israeli withdrawal maps that would leave 40% of Gaza under occupation. Both sides disagree on aid access and war-ending guarantees. Talks continue amid deep divisions.

Experts say Israel aims to depopulate Gaza through forced displacement and destruction. Plans to concentrate Palestinians in a “humanitarian city” on Rafah ruins are described as creating a concentration camp. Palestinians and international groups condemn the proposal as ethnic cleansing.

Many Israelis oppose the plan as illegal and immoral. Political analysts warn it represents an attempt to exclude Palestinians from statehood. Historical parallels are drawn to the 1948 Lydda expulsion, highlighting the ongoing nature of forced Palestinian displacement.
