At least 67 aid seekers were killed after an Israeli attack near the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Ahmed Hassouna, who was trying to bring food back from the GHF aid site, said an Israeli tank “came at us from the side”.

“There was a young man with me, too — and they started firing gas at us. They killed us with the gas. We barely made it out to catch a breath, they suffocated us with the gas,” Hassouna told Al Jazeera.

Moreover, Rizeq Betaar, who was also at the Zikim crossing, said they saw a young man lying on the ground with no ambulances in sight.

“We were the ones who carried him on the bicycle. We’re still trying to get him to help — may all of this go into our book of good deeds, O Lord. There are no ambulances, no food, no life, no way to live anymore. We’re barely hanging on. May God relieve us”, Betar told Al Jazeera.
