Israeli forces kill 45 Palestinians waiting for aid in southern Gaza
At least 45 Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded by occupational Israeli forces as they waited for aid at the al-Tahlia Roundabout in Khan Younis.
“Emergency, intensive care and operating rooms [at Nasser Medical Complex] are overcrowded with the large number of casualties and deaths,” said the Health Ministry in Gaza.
The latest carnage came at controversial aid sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by the United States and Israel, which operate in areas tightly controlled by the Israeli military and that critics have slammed as “human slaughterhouses”.
Volker Turk, the UN’s human rights chief, said on Monday that Israel’s “means and methods of warfare are inflicting horrifying, unconscionable suffering on Palestinians in Gaza”.
More than 20 months of Israeli attacks have killed at least 55,362 Palestinians, including tens of thousands of children, women and elderly people.
