Gaza Strip, Aug. 28 -- Palestinian runner Allam Abdullah Al-Amour was killed by Israeli gunfire on Wednesday, August 27, while trying to obtain food aid in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health.

Family members and eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that Al-Amour was shot near a site operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-backed initiative criticised for placing aid centres in exposed areas under military control. Since their establishment in late May, more than 2,150 Palestinians have died while seeking food at these distribution points.

Al-Amour, regarded as a promising talent in Palestinian athletics, secured bronze in the 3,000-metre race at the West Asia Clubs Athletics Champion...
