Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemns Rafah ‘aid massacres’
The group says the deadly attacks on aid seekers in Gaza are “an American-Zionist crime that reflects a systematic policy of persecuting our people and practising the most heinous forms of oppression and injustice against them”.
Its statement on Telegram strongly condemned “the international complicity and silence regarding the continued policy of starvation and suffocating siege, and the ongoing crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing, the latest of which was the heinous Zionist massacre of starving and besieged people as they were heading to receive aid in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah”.
Note more Palestinian resistance groups are finding their voice now like the PLF.

Witnesses detail desperation, chaos at Rafah aid site
The same situation unfolded as in the past few days. Palestinians were moving towards this distribution point [in Rafah] to collect food. We heard from witnesses that there was chaos. There’s no process. There’s no system.
You just need to run first to be able to get the food. The Israeli forces just opened fire randomly, shooting Palestinians … using quadcopters and live ammunition.
The Health Ministry and doctors are saying that most of those wounded have been hit in their chest and head. Palestinians are very desperate to get food, and that is why they’re going there every single day.
Now, what is the food that is being distributed? According to people we spoke to, they said that there is a very limited amount of food – flour, oil, lentils and other canned food.

Baby formula, medicine among essentials missing in Gaza: Civil defence
Mahmoud Basal, the Gaza civil defence spokesperson, has spoken to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
Here are his translated comments:
- We don’t find baby formula or medicine.
- There is absolutely no food in the Strip and we are struggling to get drinking water.
- We demand that blood units be sent from outside the Gaza Strip to save the wounded, as most donors suffer from malnutrition.
