In Gaza, at least 20 Palestinians seeking aid were killed earlier today near an aid distribution site in Rafah. Over 200 others were wounded. Officials in Gaza say Israeli attacks in recent weeks have killed more than 300 Palestinians seeking aid from the shadowy new U.S.-backed operation known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. An additional 2,000 Palestinians have been wounded near the aid sites.
On Friday, a U.N. official said the new aid operation has been a “failure” from a humanitarian standpoint. This is Dr. Ahmed Alfara, a doctor in Khan Younis.
Dr. Ahmed Alfara: “Example for the people, for the innocent people, they are going to the distribution aid, and they were targeted by gunshot by snipers. As you see, it is a gunshot in the head. The brain matter is out. This is one of the most, most catastrophic and serious complication of the distribution aid.”
