Near the Jikim checkpoint in the Gaza Strip of Palestine, Palestinians were killed by contractors of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and others while receiving aid distributions between May 27 and October 19, 2025. Since May 27, 2025, amid famine in the Gaza Strip, thousands have been killed and wounded by contractor gunfire. The majority of fatal incidents occurred around newly established aid distribution points operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), supported by the US military and Israeli forces.
From May 27 to October 9, 2025, over 2,600 Palestinian civilians seeking aid were killed and thousands more injured in famine-stricken Gaza. The shootings were carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), armed groups, and contractors hired by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The majority of fatal incidents occurred near short-term aid distribution points operated by the GHF, which receives military support from the US and Israel.
The killing of Palestinians began on the first day of GHF operations and followed an 11-week blockade by Israeli forces starting in early March 2025. The blockade severely restricted humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, exacerbating the Gaza humanitarian crisis. On July 31, 2025, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported that at least 1,373 Palestinians seeking aid had been killed as of July 31. Of these, 859 died near GHF facilities and 514 near aid convoys of the UN and other organizations. On July 5, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported at least 743 Palestinians killed and over 4,891 injured. On July 1, the Ministry noted that approximately 70% of the fatalities were killed at Gaza Ministry of Health (GHF) facilities. Critics have labeled the regular mass killings at GHF distribution points as the Hunger Games.
