Vox Populi:

“It was a massacre,” said one witness, adding that Israeli troops continued firing on people as they fled.

With the world’s eyes on the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday killed at least dozens of people waiting for food trucks in the Gaza Strip, yet another IDF massacre of starving Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that while Palestinians were gathered on a route used by humanitarian assistance trucks in Khan Younis, Israeli forces conducted an airstrike on a nearby home and then targeted the crowd with gun and tank fire.

The Gaza Health Ministry and Nasser Hospital initially confirmed that more than 50 people were dead and over 200 others were wounded. Al Jazeera later reported that the ministry said the death toll had risen beyond 70.

People in the crowd were “blown to pieces, body parts were scattered all over the place,” witness Saeed Abu Lebda told the outlet. “The number of victims is way more than those brought to the hospital. But no one could reach them to provide help.”

At Nasser Hospital, a witness named Alaa recalled to Reuters that “all of a sudden, they let us move forward and made everyone gather, and then shells started falling, tank shells.”

“No one is looking at these people with mercy,” Alaa added. “The people are dying, they are being torn apart, to get food for their children. Look at these people, all these people are torn to get flour to feed their children.”
