Three Palestinians waiting for aid have been killed after Israeli forces opened fire near an aid centre southwest of Khan Younis, Al Jazeera reports, citing sources at Nasser Medical Complex.

The attack comes shortly after the Israeli army said it had established a so-called “humanitarian area” in Khan Younis.

The UN said more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while trying to access food aid in Gaza since the US- and Israel-backed GHF started operations at the end of May.

Mourners react during the funeral of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire while trying to receive aid on Friday, and others killed in overnight strikes, according to medics, at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, on September 6, 2025. — Reuters
