GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, June 19, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Gaza's civil 
defence agency said Israeli fire killed at least 72 people in the Palestinian 
territory on Thursday, including 21 who had gathered near an aid distribution 
site in central Gaza.

Updating an earlier figure, civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP 
the death toll had risen to 72, "due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment on 
the Gaza Strip since dawn today -- 21 of them were waiting for aid". 

The Israeli army told AFP that troops had fired "warning shots" at "suspects" 
approaching them in the Netzarim area where the civil defence agency said 15 
people were killed waiting for aid, but that it was "not aware of any injured 
individuals".
