Death toll rises to 19 after Israeli attacks on aid seekers in Gaza City
Gaza’s press office says at least 19 people were killed and 23 wounded when the Israeli military again fired at Palestinian aid seekers at the Kuwait Roundabout earlier. It said in a statement that soldiers and tanks opened fire at hungry Palestinians as they gathered to get bags of flour at the roundabout in southeastern Gaza City.
Some of the dead were brought to the Ahli Arab Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, but the bodies of others were left lying on the ground, the office said.
“We call on all countries of the free world to put pressure on the occupation in order to stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing that it is waging against our Palestinian people. We also call on them to stop the famine immediately before it is too late.”
Israel military denies killing starving Palestinians waiting for aid
“The reports claiming that the [Israeli military] attacked dozens of Gazans at an aid convoy are incorrect,” the military said in a statement. “Preliminary findings have determined that there was no aerial strike against the convoy, nor were there incidents found of forces firing at the people at the aid convoy.”
Kill and arrest the journalists and deny deny deny.
