At least one man was also killed and 30 others injured at another GHF site in central Gaza near the so-called Netzarim Corridor, the Office said, adding many are still trapped under heavy Israeli fire.In pictures: Distressing scenes following the unspeakable Israeli massacre, where nearly 30 innocent civilians were gunned down and over 120 others were injured by Israeli forces, as the former were en route to receive aid from the U.S. aid distribution center on the outskirts of… pic.twitter.com/n8H4i4obWk

It said the killings “reflect the nature of these areas as mass death traps, not humanitarian relief points”. It added: “We confirm to the entire world that what is happening is a systematic and malicious use of aid as a tool of war, employed to blackmail starving civilians and forcibly gather them in exposed killing points, managed and monitored by the occupation army and funded and politically covered by the occupation and the US administration, which bears full moral and legal responsibility for these crimes.” A witness said Israeli forces started shooting at them “indiscriminately.” “People were just trying to get food for their children. The quadcopter was also shooting at us, along with artillery shelling. Many starving people were injured.” “These are desperate, starving civilians seeking aid, they’re not even fighters,” he added. This is not the first deadly massacre that has taken place since the GHF began its operations. On Tuesday, Israeli forces shot at crowds of Palestinians who gathered at the aid distribution centre in Rafah, the first day the GHF operated. Several reports and journalists in Gaza said hungry residents forced to stand outside a facility holding aid rushed inside because of delays conducting detailed security checks on recipients. Israeli gunfire killed at least 10 and injured dozens others. Photos and videos circulated on social media showed hundreds of people lined up at one of GHF’s distribution sites near the so-called “Morag Corridor” in Rafah. Recipients are required to enter through an electronic gate. The Office said the latest killings have taken the toll at such sites to at least 39 in less than a week. More than 220 people have also been wounded. The UN and other aid agencies have repeatedly warned that the GHF plan is not neutral, violates humanitarian principles, and may expose civilians to harm. They have also said the model would increase forced displacement in Gaza. The UN has refused to participate in the plan.BREAKING: At least one Palestinian reported killed and others injured after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on a crowd of civilians waiting for aid near the U.S. aid distribution center in Netzarim Corridor, central Gaza. pic.twitter.com/eavPv6I25J
