Gaza ‘Massacre’: Israeli soldiers in a devastated According to Palestinian health officials, Gaza opened fire on a gathering of Palestinians at an aid distribution point on Thursday, killing at least 104 and wounding over 700. According to Israeli sources, during the predawn incident in Gaza City, in the northern part of the besieged territory, troops opened fire on the crowd because they thought they “posed a threat”.
The health ministry of the Palestinians in Gaza denounced what it called a “massacre” and reported that at least 104 people were killed and 760 injured. According to a witness who spoke to media agency, the violence started at the city’s western Nabulsi roundabout when thousands of people who were in need of food rushed towards aid trucks.
“Trucks full of aid came too close to some army tanks that were in the area and the crowd, thousands of people, just stormed the trucks,” the witness said, declining to be named for safety reasons.
“The soldiers fired at the crowd as people came too close to the tanks.” The Israeli army initially said that “during the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into the northern Gaza Strip, Gazan residents surrounded the trucks and looted the supplies being delivered”.
It added that “during the incident, dozens of Gazans were injured as a result of pushing and trampling. The incident is under review.”

“Medical teams are unable to deal with the volume and type of injuries arriving at Al-Shifa Medical Complex as a result of weak medical and human capabilities,” one official said in a statement.
