Gaza’s Health Ministry reports hundreds were also wounded in the latest incident involving aid distribution
At least 51 Palestinians were killed and more than 200 wounded in the Gaza Strip while waiting for UN and commercial trucks to enter the territory with desperately needed food, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry and a local hospital.
Palestinian witnesses told Associated Press that Israeli forces carried out an air strike on a nearby home before opening fire towards the crowd in the southern city of Khan Younis. The military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It did not appear to be related to a new Israeli- and US-supported aid delivery network that rolled out last month and has been marred by controversy and violence.
‘Aren’t we human beings?’
