“The ambulances haven’t stopped coming.”
British doctor Victoria Rose has shared a report on a new Israeli massacre targeting Palestinian aid seekers in the Gaza Strip.
According to eyewitnesses and local officials, Israeli troops opened fire directly on civilians gathered at two US-Israeli food distribution points in Rafah and central Gaza.
Dr Rose says that between 20 and 50 people were reportedly shot dead, while 100 to 200 were injured.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says at least 32 people waiting for food were killed, with single gunshot wounds to the head and chest, indicating a clear intent to kill.
The ministry has also accused Israel of using the new aid mechanism as a “trap for mass killings”.
