Israel murderers fifty Palestinians, injures twenty hundred
(MENAFN) Health officials reported that nearly 50 Palestinians were killed and over 200 others were injured on Sunday after Israeli forces fired on civilians gathered in al-Mawasi, a district west of Rafah in southern Gaza, in search of humanitarian relief.
According to the same sources, 28 of the deceased were transported to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, while 21 others were taken to the Red Cross Field Hospital. The gunfire from Israeli troops left more than 200 people wounded.
Eyewitnesses described the scene, saying large groups of people had gathered early in the morning at a humanitarian distribution point run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-based organization said to be supported by Israel.
As the civilians approached, Israeli military units opened fire and drones reportedly released explosives, causing severe casualties, the witnesses stated.
One medical professional described the situation as highly hazardous. Ongoing gunfire made it difficult for ambulances to reach the injured, and some wounded individuals had to be taken away using carts.
Simultaneously, other reports noted that Israeli forces targeted civilians near another U.S.-affiliated aid location close to the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza.
At Al-Awda Hospital, medical staff reported that one person was killed and approximately 20 others were injured after Israeli troops fired on people near the Bureij refugee camp.
An Israeli military spokesperson said there was no available data confirming injuries from army fire at the distribution site, adding that an investigation was underway.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s media office accused Israeli authorities of weaponizing humanitarian assistance to manipulate starving civilians and lure them into vulnerable areas.
According to reports, Israel has developed a plan to establish four distribution sites across southern and central Gaza. Media outlets suggest this move is intended to shift Palestinians from the north to the south of the territory.
Israel’s Army Radio allegedly stated that the ultimate goal of this strategy is to render northern Gaza devoid of residents.
The U.S.-supported aid strategy has been widely condemned and dismissed by Palestinians and international humanitarian groups.
Since March 2, all entry points into Gaza have been sealed off by Israel, halting the flow of vital goods such as food, medical supplies, and fuel to the 2.4 million residents.
Despite widespread international demands for a ceasefire, Israel has continued its aggressive military actions
