On August 6, 2025, a humanitarian aid truck overturned on a crowd of people in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 20 Palestinians and injuring dozens more. The incident occurred after the Israeli occupation forced the truck to change its route abruptly. The Gaza Civil Defense confirmed the fatalities. The truck was carrying food aid and overturned near the Kissufim area. This tragedy occurred amid ongoing severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where hunger-related deaths have been rising. In the last 24 hours before August 6, at least 135 Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks, with a total of 193 hunger-related deaths reported. Despite these challenges, humanitarian efforts continue, as evidenced by the recent passage of 10 UAE aid convoys comprising 214 trucks carrying over 4,565 tons of aid through the Rafah crossing into Gaza over the past two weeks. However, reports indicate that on August 9, only 95 aid trucks entered Gaza, many of which were looted amid security chaos attributed to Israeli policies described as aiming to engineer starvation and disorder. Additionally, Yemeni military media reported that 92 vessels bypassed the blockade on Israeli ports through Turkish and Egyptian routes in early August, allegedly aiding Israel while Gaza faces starvation.
