Gaza: Five Palestinians waiting for aid were martyred Wednesday as a result of being targeted by Israeli occupation forces in northern and central Gaza Strip.

According to Qatar News Agency, local sources reported that the occupation forces opened fire on a group of aid seekers in northern Gaza, leading to the martyrdom of four individuals and the injury of others.

Medical sources also reported that one martyr arrived at Al Awda Hospital following the targeting of gatherings of Palestinians near an aid distribution point on Salah Al Din Street in the central sector.

The death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen, according to the latest official statistics, to 62,895 martyrs and 158,927 injured.

The Israeli occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip after violating the ceasefire agreement on Mar. 18, following a two-month pause, targeting various areas of the sector, which is already facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe after 22 months of war.
