In Gaza, the death toll from an Israeli attack on aid seekers in Khan Younis on Tuesday has reached 70. Hundreds of Palestinians were also wounded after Israeli forces used tanks, drones and machine guns to fire on crowds who had gathered hoping to receive bags of flour. The Nasser Medical Complex was overwhelmed with victims. This is Dr. Mark Brunner, a doctor from Oregon who is volunteering at Nasser Medical Complex.
Dr. Mark Brunner: “Every time we know that there’s a few so-called food distribution, we know that there’s going to be annihilation. And, you know, the first couple of days, we were seeing a lot of isolated injuries, head or chest or abdomen. But today it’s reported that tanks have been used at the food distribution centers, which makes sense, because we’re seeing multi trauma. We’re seeing head, neck, chest, abdomen, extremities, many, many deaths. And it just doesn’t have to be this way. You know, this is something that’s just got to stop.”
