Nearly 230 killed or wounded as Israel carries out largest massacre since new aid mechanism was enforced in Gaza
Euro-Med Monitor’s field team documented Israeli forces opening fire on thousands of civilians gathered at dawn today, Sunday, 1 June 2025, in Tel al-Sultan, Rafah, near an aid distribution centre established by the Israeli army. Preliminary data indicate that the attack killed at least 31 civilians, including two women, and injured more than 200 others. Several remain missing.
Eyewitnesses interviewed by Euro-Med Monitor reported that the US-backed organisation brings only limited quantities of aid while directing tens of thousands of Palestinians to a high-risk distribution area, where Israeli forces open fire with live ammunition and tank shells. Those who survive and reach the site often find the aid insufficient, forcing desperate competition over the scarce supplies.

“Every single signatory to this letter treated children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us on a daily basis treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head.”
