Piles of dead bodies and wounded people. That is all 18 year-old Mohammad al-Ewadi could see around him.
He was among thousands of starving Palestinians heading towards the al-Sudaniya area in northwestern Gaza City on Sunday morning.
There, trucks from the World Food Programme (WFP) were expected to arrive, offering a rare chance to access long-denied essential supplies.
But as people gathered near the truck, Israeli troops surrounded relief-seekers, directly and indiscriminately shooting towards them, according to eyewitnesses, among them Ewadi.
"They [the Israeli army] fired heavily at us from the tanks," he told Middle East Eye, describing how military vehicles moved through the crowd, at times passing within inches of civilians.
