The World Food Program in a statement on Sunday condemned the violence in North Gaza as Palestinians tried to reach a convoy of trucks carrying food. The Health Ministry in Gaza said that at least 80 people were killed in the incident. The Israeli army has stated that it has “fired the warning shots” to remove the immediate danger “, but has questioned the toll of death reported by Palestinians.
Allegations by a major aid agency, which typically had good work relations with Israel, create details by witnesses and others, who also said that Israel set the crowd on fire.
In Gaza, rapidly exposes an uncertain situation for those who are demanding food and other help, as the area that the region has fought shows no signal to end the region. Israel and Hamas are still engaged Ceasefire talksBut there is no success and it is not clear whether any Trus will bring war to a permanent stop.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, after the talks proceeded, the toll of death in the war-destructive region has climbed to more than 59,000 Palestinians. Its count is not a difference between terrorists and citizens, but the ministry says that there are more than half of the dead women and children. The ministry is part of the government of Hamas, but the United Nations and other international organizations see it as the most reliable source of data on casualties.
Israel, meanwhile, has included its withdrawal orders for the region that has been somewhat less hard-hit than others, indicating that a new war may open and squeeze the Palestinians into Gaza’s tinier stretch.
WFP condemns violence at food distribution points
On Sunday, in Northern Gaza, the Ministry of Health, witnesses and an United Nations official said that Israeli forces set fire to the crowd, who tried to get food from a 25-truck convoy entering the hard-hit area.
The statement of the WFP, stating that the crowd around his convoy set fire to the fire “with Israeli tanks, snipers and other bullets,” supports those claims. The death toll was not specified in the statement, just saying that the incident resulted in loss of “countless life”.
After Sunday’s incident, a photographer who collaborated with Associated Press counted 31 bodies at Shifa Hospital in Gaza city and 20 others in the courtyard of Sheikh Redwan Clinic.
“These people were just trying To reach food To feed themselves and their families on the verge of starvation, ”saying that the incident occurred despite the assurance of Israeli officials that assistance distribution would improve. Part of those assurances, it was said that armed forces would not be present nor would they be attached to the aid routes.
“Firing near human missions, convoys and food distribution should stop immediately.”
The Israeli army refused to comment on WFP claims. Military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshni posted X on Sunday that the soldiers were told that “do not engage, do not shoot,” and a video of soldiers near a mob of Palestinians was shared, which is gathering around a truck because one soldier shouts again, “Don’t shoot!” The Associated Press could not immediately verify the video and was not clear where it was shot.
Israel has not allowed international media to enter Gaza throughout the war, and competitive claims cannot be verified independently.
Sunday’s phenomenon comes when the Palestinian reach for assistance in the area has reduced greatly, and wants the aid has become dangerous. A US and Israeli-backed aid system that has delivered some aid from traditional providers such as the United Nations, has been erased from violence and anarchy as the Palestinians are moving towards its assistance distribution sides. The Group, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, has said that most of the reported violence has not happened on its sites.
