Israeli strike kills six volunteer brothers delivering food in Gaza, sparking grief and condemnation

An Israeli airstrike on a charity food delivery vehicle in Gaza’s Deir el-Balah killed six volunteer brothers, aged 10 to 34, as they delivered food to civilians amid the humanitarian crisis. The attack has devastated their community, with grieving parents describing their sons as unarmed civilians helping the starving. Mourners gathered to pray over the bodies, a scene now tragically familiar across the besieged enclave. The strike comes as Israel intensifies military operations, with ceasefire negotiations stalled. Relatives condemned the targeting of aid workers during widespread shortages of food and medicine. The brothers’ deaths highlight the toll on civilians in the conflict, with entire families erased by strikes. Their community now bears yet another loss in a war with no end in sight.
