PALESTINE – Continued Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians seeking aid in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 50 today (Tuesday), and left dozens in critical condition in what appears to be the new death traps for aid seekers across Gaza.
In a statement, the Gaza Health Ministry said the victims were targeted at the Al-Tahlia roundabout in Khan Younis, where crowds had gathered to receive aid. It added that dozens of those wounded were in critical condition and had been transported to Nasser Medical Complex.
Israeli forces also opened fire on people seeking food assistance near the al-Akwa area west of Rafah.
“The emergency rooms, intensive care units, and operating theaters at Nasser Hospital are severely overcrowded due to the large number of casualties,” the ministry said, warning that medical teams were operating with severely limited supplies of life-saving medications and equipment.
